Interactive Assessment Thoughts

I would have to say that I totally agree with this assessment. My at-risk education background has shown me that students are most successful when we "understand what students can do and in what areas they have not succeeded." Too often students fail because either we as teachers assume what they know or don't lift up what the CAN do. Teaching and assessing are definitely intertwined, as the instrucment says. When instructors truly are facilitators of student learning, everyone learns and grows in their knowledge together.
