Our local school district assesses students via an online testing application starting from age’s pre-k through 5 at the start of school all the way to the end of school. They are assessed during the middle of a school term so as to know whether they are going to be on target for being promoted to the next grade. If they are not on the correct level they are then being placed into enrichment classes and also after-school tutoring classes to make sure that they are on task. As the children move from one school to another they are tested to make sure that they have retained what was taught earlier.
Although the children are not being assessed holistically, they are being assessed educationally. I agree with this method because it gives parents, teachers and administrators a clearer view of that child’s thought patterns, and it lets educators know whether their methods for assessment are prudent.
Assessment of Students in Australia
The following website, http://www.acara.edu.au/assessment/assessment.htmlhas information concerning the assessment tools used by the Northern Territory in Australia. The students are assessed in the same way that the students are assessed here.
