GOAL: Explore the use and implementation of both formative and summative assessment in
classroom practice and show evidence of utilizing both types to inform my teaching during
my full control period.
RATIONALE: This goal has been selected because I want to feel confident in my knowledge
and ability to assess children effectively and properly to inform my teaching. Having a sound
knowledge of the different types of assessment procedures is also important as it allows me
to choose according to what I want to find out and how I want to use the results. Choosing
the right assessment procedure is important for effective teaching.
