FIAE Chapter 2: Mastery

Assessments are difficult to give students because teachers need to see mastery of the subject not just lucky guesses.  Teachers must assess students in ways that they can be sure that the students truly understand what they had done with a certain problem.  I will have to find ways in order to create assessments that demand true understanding of the ideas.  I will need to become creative when I create my tests and assessments because I will differentiate the assessments in as many ways as I can; at the same time I will make sure that the students will truly understand the point of each topic they are learning.  My students will have to write out their reasons for certain answers.  I will require them to do different types of questions using the same knowledge with different contexts.
