Our group considers the best practices to be that all
assessments should be authentic and transparent for students to be able to get
the most valuable outcomes. Authentic assessment allows all students to be
treated fairly in their assessment, giving each student the opportunity to
demonstrate their learning in a method in which they are able to excel.
Students’ learning needs to be at the forefront of all assessment tasks making
sure that there are a wide variety of assessments in order to cater for all students
learning and thought processes.
It is
really important for formative assessments are used with constructive feedback
so that students can understand what they did well and what they need to do
improve. Assessments should be fair,
allowing students to be fully aware of what is being assessed and how they can
best prepare. It can be quite unfair to spring a test on students, especially
if the wording used for the assessment is test or exam, both of these options
can put fear and doubt into a students mind. Assessments should be redeemable,
so that if something goes wrong for a student during an assessment, they have
the opportunity to make up for it and redeem themselves. Just because a student
does not do well in attest should not mean that they fail the subject. A
teacher’s duty needs to be focused on getting every student to pass the lesson,
sometimes a teacher needs to go above and beyond in order for students to grasp
the concept. The time taken going through group tasks as well as the individual
time that a teacher spends with students is wasted if students are not prepared
to learn themselves.
Assessments
should be non-threatening and teacher has to prepare the classroom so that it
is a classroom with a focus of learning.
