Why we need to Evaluate Education
Author: Manuel R. CortezRodas
FIVE REASONS WHY WE NEED TO EVALUATE EDUCATION.
1) Students
Education evaluation allows students to demonstrate what they have learned. It is necessary to evaluate what students have learned, in order to confirm to them, that have understood what they learned, and can accurately recall the information they have been instructed on. Students must be evaluated for their own educational benefit, to build their educational confidence, and to repair educational misunderstandings.
2) Teachers
Education evaluation allows teachers to know the learning comprehension of their students. It is necessary for teachers to know the learning comprehension of students. Knowing this will allow teachers to become better educators. Teachers can implement the information collected through student evaluation in their lesson development, so they may become better educators who are efficient and can reach each student in their classrooms.
3) Administrators
Education evaluation allows administrators to compare student comprehension vs. teacher instruction. Student comprehension should be directly related to teacher instruction. Administrators can use the data collected through education evaluation to make sure that both students and teachers are performing above and beyond the established benchmarks of acceptable success.
4) Parents
Education evaluation allows parents to know student comprehension, teacher instruction, and school administration. Parents should have information available to them which helps them understand how individual students and classmates are learning and growing, the level and quality of the instruction being provided to students by their teachers, and the manner in which schools are being administrated in order for education to successfully take place.
5) Community
Education evaluation allows the community to know that students are being prepared for the future. In time, the students will become functional members of the community and will have to face the challenges that they will be presented with. The better educated our communities are, will allow us to make the best possible decisions to improve our way of life, and do good for future generations to develop.
