I think that learning about the different assessments will help me become a better disciple of the Savior. I think that I could use the assessments to really come to understand each of my students better and utilize the information that I gather to help each child with their individual needs. Each student needs a little extra help and support sometimes. You can use an assessment to find out with what exactly do they need help with. I think in a way assessments give a teacher the opportunity to personalize lesson plans for different students and see what as a teacher we can do better to educate the students in our classroom. I'm not sure if this makes sense, but I just feel like if as a teacher you used the assessments to help the students in the areas that they are struggling, and maybe even used them to gain an understanding of how that child thinks, what is going on in their mind, and what not you would becoming a true disciple of the Savior. We see throughout the life of the Savior, he asked questions, he came to understand how to teach different classes of people so that they would understand. The Savior used those informal assessments to see what the people clearly understood. I have always learned that the Savior was a master teacher, can I just say I love that the more I study in this major the more I come to realize all that the Savior really did as a teacher. It's truly incredible that even the Savior used different forms of assessments to teach those individuals around him.
