It starts with a set of questions:
- Are assessment and evaluations synonymous?
- Are they perhaps different but equal?
- What is the established logical sequence for the two events?
- Should I always assess before I evaluate, or is it possible to evaluate then assess?
As I reflected on my learning goal for this unit, I realized that this unit of instruction will enable me to crest the precipice of transitioning from leaner to teacher. My overall goal is to gain skills to use the results of a well constructed needs assessment as a catalyst for developing instructional units that facilitate the development of useful formative and summative evaluations.
