Assessment Guidelines
While reading the text, "The Art of Possibility", I decided to search for some assessment guidelines that schools are offering. One such article that I found is from Buffalo State University. I thought that these guideline would be an interesting reflection based upon our recent reading assignment.

This guideline provided some good ideas on how to view assessments. One guideline was "Assessment is most effective when it reflects an understanding of learning as multidimensional, integrated, and revealed in performance over time. Learning is a complex process. It entails not only what students know but what they can do with what they know; it involves not only knowledge and abilities but values, attitudes, and habits of mind that affect both academic success and performance beyond the classroom" This guideline mirrors what we have been reading in The Art of Possibility. So how can we as educators assess our students so they realize the grade is not an expectation to live up to but a possibility to live into?
