Learning Community for Learners
Learning and assessment happen every day in the multilevel classroom.
You might think about assessment as going on a road trip. The destination is your goal, and the road map is your plan to reach your goal. You may stop at gas stations to check your vehicle along the way, and you may check your road map to see if you are on track or need to make changes to your plan. You may even talk with others about how the trip is going. Of course, you will want to celebrate your successful arrival at your destination!
