May is known, through most of the world, for Mother's Day. For us in the U.S. It is also known for its Memorial Day holiday, the last holiday of the school year. Long ago, it seems, we were returning from Winter Break to start the first school day of 2014. Even longer than this was that first day of school which followed last year's summer. May is the last full month of academic instruction.
It is in this month of May that we, as educators, and those of us who are involved in education (Students, Assistants, Teachers, Parents, Principals, Administrators, etc.) should begin the process of assessing education. A good educational assessment provides accountability. It allows us to check for a balance of equality and fairness of quality in the instruction which we have provided for our students throughout this past school year.
MRCR Education dedicates the month of May to educational assessment. Throughout this month, various topics related to educational assessment will be presented in our posts. We hope that you find them informational and useful, and welcome your feedback too.
