Assessments have become a huge part of the educational experience. When it comes to assessing students, teachers need to be careful on how they are doing these assessments. Assessments are used to provide overall quality of teaching and learning in the classroom. Using a well designed assessment will set clear expectations, provides opportunities for students to keep track of their own progress, and teachers can give feedback (Ormrod, 2010). When assessing young students, this should benefits for students and should gather information to improve the quality of educational programs. They should also be valid, fair, and reliable and suited for the students’ age before a teacher can use a particular assessment (Ormrod, 2010). Parents should be a resource of assessment information that the teacher can use and should include multiple sources of evidence. Assessments should always be shared with the parents as part of the educational process that will be ongoing in their education. One way to assess students is to use a grading rubric. When using a grading rubric, it can be beneficial to both the teacher and the students. It will help grade a specific criteria designed to show the importance of the task in the assignment to make sure the teacher’s grading standards are fair. A rubric can also limit the time spent grading and shortens the long writing comments for the teacher.
