[quote=Anonymous][quote]Any good educator needs to be constantly assessing what he/she is teaching and what his/her students know. The question is, how do they do that? How are they communicating their results to others (because parents, other teachers, and administrators need to be certain kids are learning, too)? There has to be some level of consistency in the system so the stakeholders can understand and trust each other. [/quote] This idea that teachers have to be constantly explaining how they assess and what each student knows to others (parents, other teachers, administrators, etc.) has left them no time to do anything BUT assess, analyze, write reports and "goals", and communicate to all the supposed stakeholders (which seems to include everyone except the student). Without trust, there is all of this and no time to do the real job of planning creative lessons and interacting with the students. It is very demoralizing for teachers. [/quote]
