• reports
• passing/failing

• Teaching is a lot more than assessing, and assessing is a lot more than testing.

• Assessment should be done all the time in class .... so that we can see our students progress and not only the final result. (@sabridv)
• Assessment should be a continuous process. (@Mtranslator)
• Assessment should ..... be continuous and measure the progress of the student - comparing the student with himself earlier in the course, not with others. (@cecilialcoelho)

• At its best assessment is for showing students where they are, what they need to do next, and how to do that. At worst, it's just labelling. (@harrisonmike)

• ...we tend to underestimate the potential for self-regulation in our children, seeing them too often as blank sheets to be written on, empty vessels to be filled, or wild and in need of taming. Young children can, within the limits of their cognitive development, be helped to organise their resources, both internal and material.

• [Self-assessment] is a teaching strategy as much as an assessment strategy.

• Students should be involved in the process ..... and they should be aware of what is expected from them. (@sabridv)
• Let your students set their own goals and monitor their own progress. It`s tangible. They feel in control. Nine times out of ten they will surpass their own expectations. A great motivator! (@miladakrajewska)
• Motivated students do much better. (@gret)

• We watched everyone's movie and gave positive feedback and constructive criticism. I modelled the first few comments and then let them try it. What ensued was the most effective feedback session I've witnessed in a while, adults included.

• I truly believe that putting more emphasis on self-assessment brings more benefits to the learner and the learning process than a pure progress or end-of the course test. (@erikasovath)

• ...you can easily gauge student understanding by having each student take 10 seconds to say one thing they learned at the end of class.
• In 2 minutes I had a snapshot of the actual learning that had happened during the 45 minute period.
