Question 3

Write an explanation of appropriate assessment, contrasting it with the dangers of high stakes testing.

Accepted Answer

Appropriate assessment is a method of evaluating a student's learning and understanding in a fair and comprehensive manner. It involves using a variety of assessment tools such as quizzes, tests, projects, and presentations to measure a student's knowledge and skills. This type of assessment allows educators to gain a holistic understanding of a student's abilities and areas for improvement, and provides valuable feedback for both students and teachers to guide instruction and learning.

On the other hand, high stakes testing refers to standardized tests that have significant consequences for students, teachers, and schools. These tests often determine a student's promotion to the next grade, graduation from high school, or even funding for schools. The dangers of high stakes testing include placing undue stress on students, narrowing the curriculum to focus solely on test preparation, and creating an environment of competition rather than collaboration among students and educators. Additionally, high stakes testing may not accurately measure a student's true abilities and can lead to unfair outcomes for students from diverse backgrounds or with learning differences.

In contrast, appropriate assessment focuses on providing a well-rounded view of a student's learning and growth, without the negative consequences associated with high stakes testing. It allows for a more personalized approach to education, where students are evaluated based on their individual progress and understanding, rather than a one-size-fits-all standardized test. This type of assessment encourages a more inclusive and supportive learning environment, where students are empowered to take ownership of their learning and educators can tailor their instruction to meet the needs of each student. Overall, appropriate assessment promotes a more meaningful and effective approach to evaluating student learning, while minimizing the negative impacts of high stakes testing.
