 * Learning target(s) this selection addresses:

This selection shows me that there has to be a balance between formative and summative assessment. I realize that formative assessment is not always in the form of a “graded” assignment. I take antidotal records, but fail more times than not, in sharing the information with my students. I need to be more diligent in sharing with my students “during” learning rather than “after” learning has occurred. The most important item is engaging students in self-reflection, and let them keep track of and share their learning. Putting more freedom and responsibility on the part of the students rather than keeping it for myself, which has been a traditional approach.
