Two concepts to keep in mind when thinking about evaluating education should be the following: Who will evaluate our education. How will our education be evaluated. To the first, the principal participant should be ourselves. We should be the first to evaluate our education. To the second, careful consideration and open discussion should be combined in order to arrive at a clear and fair process by which our education ought to be evaluated. Keeping in mind these two concepts should allow us to have a better appreciation for our education, while gaining a greater understanding of the value we gain as an educated people.
It is of great importance that learners evaluate education so they, as students, may judge the value and worth of what has been learned and studied through the process of becoming educated, and thus having acquired knowledge. There are four steps which can be taken to achieve this, beginning with the creation of a scale to be used for rating the value of education.
This education scale value needs to take into consideration the length of time in education, the locations where education has taken place, and the knowledge which has been learned by being taught, or having experienced through our senses, feelings, and emotions. Third in the steps is to assess education by filtering it through the five A's (Availability, Amplitude, Accuracy, Accomplishments, Acknowledgements). Last, it is up to us to implement the process by executing the evaluation of education.

Accomplishments to Date
We should take the time to reflect on the educational accomplishments we have reached to this date. In January we came back from Winter break, which was followed by Spring break, then Summer break, recently Fall/Autumn break, and once again back to another Winter break. All these breaks may invoke images of fun filled vacation time for some, for others planned work time.
All these breaks across the seasons crossing two distinct groups of students, two unique classrooms, which we have transitioned over the past year. Two groups of students, two classrooms, one which has advanced on, the other arriving to their own. To one we said "Good-bye, take care." to the other "Hello, and welcome."
We created lessons and executed them by implementing such plans into the classroom. We watched and guided our students through these lessons as they followed directions, payed attention to instructions, learned and developed the knowledge and skills required, and demonstrated, by communicating to us clearly, that they understood and were able to apply their newly acquired knowledge and skills.
We have achieved educational accomplishments to date, that we set for ourselves many days ago, and look forward to what we can accomplish in future days to come, as we start another year after Winter break.
