In Chapter 6 of Rethinking Curriculum in Art it discussed how to
assess your students on the curriculum. This chapter gave step by step
instructions on how to assess students, starting with planning. It is
very important to plan ahead and to make sure that your students can
demonstrate what they have just learned. It is also very important to
constantly check in with your students to determine how well they are
doing. The next step is to make sure that your lessons are aligned with
the curriculum and with the standards. A teacher's unit of study should
scaffold off of one another. There are a few different types of
assessments, a couple of them would be formal assessment and summative
assessment. A formal assessment is used to check if students are
understanding with a little quiz here and there, and a summative
assessment is at the end of the course to make sure your students
learned everything they were supposed to. I enjoyed this chapter because
it really emphasized the importance of planning ahead of time and
frequently checking to make sure your students are learning the
curriculum.
