Assessment • A point of learning for the student and teacher • Transparency an accountability helps • Troubleshooting assessments: “Everyone was driving
the wrong way!” • Incorporate some alternative assessments
@johnjpeebles www.getadministrate.com
Evaluate • Most people ignore evaluation forms…unless things
are REALLY GOOD or REALLY BAD. • Consider a 1 question “Gate Keeper” evaluation.
