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.

ELL Student Development: Final Assessment
ELL Student Development
Final Assessment
Author: Manuel R. CortezRodas
We want for students to succeed in their learning. Just as schools want students to graduate, and become self-sustained life-long learners, English Language Learners should be encouraged by their ELL program to become self-sustained English language learners. With consistent measuring of student progress, with accurate analysis of these measurements, and with communication, collaboration, and cooperation, amongst all participants in the students education, the ELL student should become able to demonstrate the necessary skills and meet the established requirements to exit the ELL program, and succeed with mainstream and native students of similar age and grade level.
To ensure that the students, which have exited the ELL program, are succeeding, it is recommended that they be guarded from any possible academic downfall by implementing observatory monitoring of students, who may begin to under-perform academically, following the student's exit from the ELL program. While we expect for most ELL students to make a smooth transition into mainstream education and succeed, there may be those who may be in need of further support from an ELL program whose aim is also to work with students who have exited the program.
An English Language Learner will be one for life. They will have less of a life-time experience with the language than a native speaker. With education the ELL student can develop skills equal to that of a native speaker, and with further education, the student can expand their understanding of the language and even add to the growth of it. English Language Learners benefit the community by expanding the culture and diversity of schools.
