Being Creative

This week I learn the arts of being creative as a teacher; to go above and beyond to make sure that your students are successful.

“For an assessment to accurately reflect what students know and can do, those students must be giving their best effort”.

The above quote caught my attention because sometimes assessments are given in general however; some students might not receive the same amount of resources that other students received. In some classes some students might gain more practice than those in another class, and sometimes it also depends on the techniques that their instructors use in class. Certain techniques are more effective than others and they might also be more memorable to the students; with that being said, students definitely need the best and maximum effort for their assessments to be accurate.
