MI Chapter 10 Reflections

This chapter was on alternate forms of assessment besides standardized tests. It dealt heavily with finding out what students really know by allowing them to express it in ways that match their strongest intelligence. This seems very exciting in theory, but in practice I am skeptical that it would be possible to implement it all. I did like the form that allowed the student to pick the type of project he/she would prefer to use to show mastery of a subject. With the right project rubric, that would be workable. I see this chapter as a brainstorming session to see how many ways it would be possible to assess students without filtering for real classroom logisitics. All of these would depend greatly on the environment of the classroom, the number and kind of students being taught and the goals of the unit being taught.
