From this week in class the focus has been put to student evaluations. The more we discuss this topic the more it makes me wonder why we evaluated students the way we do. How do we know that this is the correct way to evaluate them or even the best way? Where is the proof behind the ideas of these evaluations?
We talked about some of the evaluations in class that we may have to do if we all become teachers. Before this I really never really thought of having to fill out evaluations on students. This made me want to do a little more looking into the in depth of the evaluations when being a teacher and I found this article, http://www.howany.com/how-to-evaluate-students/. This article gives different ways to ensure that student evaluations are accurate and several ways of doing them. I feel as if as in the first few years of teaching these tips could come in handy when doing some of the student evaluations.
I never really thought about evaluations either until taking this class. This class has really opened my eyes on how challenging a job it is for teachers. It's really scary! I don't feel like there is a correct way for anything that has to deal with the education system.
