Week 6: Assessments

I have learned that assessments are so essential in the process of education on all levels: in the general education class and in special education. Assessment is how we evaluate needs and to what extend to administer needs.
It is important to make note that assessments need to be  appropriate for all levels of development. Lets take this picture for instance. this assessment indicates that all must do one exact thing even when ability is impossible. Sometimes we are teachers do the same thing to the kids we teach instead of giving appropriate assessments based in needs including culture.
  There are some assessments however that are standardized in nature, which is trying to determine how well students meet expected knowledge of curriculum. With these sort of assessments some students will need certain accommodations in order to perform such as having things read to them or take the test in a different room.
  It is also important to know that assessments should be taken frequently. Children are always learning new things so it is important to take frequent assessment on where they are at and their progression.
