ENGAGE
When it comes to assessing students, teachers need to move passed just giving their students just tests and quizzes. Social studies should be meaningful, challenging, integrative, value-based, and active. Social studies assessment should also be engaging and student friendly. Assessment should be made up of measurement, collection, and evaluation. There are many ways to assess students. Assessment could be projets, rubrics, KWL charts, portfolios, and interviews. Tests and quizzes should be used in the classroom, but it should not be the ony means of assessment. Even more important is to include students in the process of creating assessment. Students should never feel scared when it comes to assessment time. As a teacher, I know that I will make sure that every student knows what is expected of them and they will never have to feel nervous when assessment comes around. For my journal article review, I summarized an article that dealt rubrics as an assessment. The citation is listed below because I think it will help everybody make successful rubrics :)
