Mod 2 Reading Interactive Inventory

Assessment: Teacher-centered or Learner-centered?
All of my answers were "correct" except "Assessment is used to monitor learning." I disagree that this is only specific to a "teacher-centered" paradigm. There are formative types of assessment that can provide a teacher helpful information to use in assessing what teaching strategies or activities are productive for students. A student-centered teacher assesses herself or himself, and by monitoring student learning, an instructor is also indirectly monitoring himself or herself.

Sue, thanks for creating a great looking blog. You asked about reflective comments - I would rather not give guidelines for this type of writing, except that, as you learn, what are your thoughts, feelings, ideas for future application of the learning etc...

Imagine that, in the future months, you will come back to read your blog - what are important points that may stimulate additional thoughts in the future?
