The time in the year 2014 will soon come to an end. December brings to a close 2014 and as the year ends it presents an ending point from which an evaluation can be extracted.Now the question is how do we evaluate what students have learned? How can we set up a formula or function which accurately measures the growth that students have done over a period of time?
To do this winter education evaluation, it is best to set measurable time frame periods over which growth should have taken place.
- Yearly Evaluation: Growth from January to December 2014.
- Current School Year Evaluation: Growth from 1st day of school to last day of 2014.
- Summer Evaluation: Growth from last day of school to 1st day of school.
- Prior School Year Evaluation: Growth from 1st day of school to end of school year
These four time periods allow for specific measurement of learning at different stages throughout this year. As the year comes to a close, it is worth taking the time to do an evaluation, and reflect on what has been accomplished. This is something that can even be done, and should be also done, at a personal level.
There is no need to develop a complex set of standards and guidelines when doing a self evaluation of our educational growth. Students, teachers, parents, and all who wish should perform each of the four above mentioned evaluations. Doing this can provide a clearer view of the growth done in all aspects of education if a fair and through assessment takes place.
