219 - What is the PURPOSE of ASSESSMENT?

Teachers on Fire

We recognize that our assessment beliefs and practices fundamentally shape every other aspect of learning that occurs in the school environment.

As such, we engage in constant professional learning and seek to apply evidence-based thinking to our practices.

Welcome to SPARKS: mini-segments intended to spark your thinking and ignite your practice. These short episodes are based on my written reflections, which you can find on the Teachers on Fire Magazine at Medium.com.
