Question

It is important to understand that the child assessment cycle is an ongoing process. Why do you think reporting data to parents, colleagues, and students from a single assessment might be unethical or unprofessional? How would you address a colleague who only presented quantitative summative assessment data during professional learning communities?

Answer 1

Answer:

I would address the colleague by trying to convey him the importance of recording and presenting the data of overall assessment of the child through a continued process and also tell him how deceptive it would be to present data that present only one side of the real assessment.

Explanation:

• The process of assessment in itself should be a complete process so as to secure the truest possible results from the assessment.
• Presenting any data that would only cover a small share of the entire reality is not advisable in any given circumstances as the data would deceive the parents about the progress of their child.
