Reflection (After reading Article 1):

As I read, "How Classroom Assessments Improve Learning,"  I got a better sense of the importance of assessments. When I formulated my “problem statement” this summer, I felt as if I had focused on a serious need in our school. I surveyed some staff, regarding assessments, in another class and realized that there was a great concern over assessments within the school. This is the main reason I choose to change my topic and pursue this new one based on assessments. It has been a challenge getting to this point, but I hope it will be a rewarding one once it has been accomplished.
