“If my players aren’t getting A’s, I’m going to get FIRED.”
MAJORITY
“teachers begin by dividing the concepts and skills that they want students to learn into smaller learning units.”
“Following instruction on the unit, teachers administer an assessment...”
“Based on the assessment results, students are sorted, ranked, and assigned grades.”
“The assessment signifies to students the end of the unit and the end of the time they need to spend working on the unit...
....their one and only chance to demonstrate what they have learned.”
“...instead of using assessments only as evaluation devices that mark the end of each unit....
...using them as part of the instructional process to identify individual learning difficulties (feedback) and to prescribe remediation procedures (correctives).”
...“just-in-time” correction prevents minor learning difficulties from accumulating and becoming major learning problems.”
“It also gives teachers a practical means to vary and differentiate their instruction in order to better meet students' individual learning needs.”
