Week #3

AFL should focus on how students learn, because I agree with the definition: “Assessment for Learning is the process of seeking and interpreting evidence for use by learners and their teachers to decide where the learners are in their learning, where they need to go and how best to get there.”  Therefore, I relate that AFL should focus on how students learn, because every student learns differently, if the student does not learn the way you teach, you teach the way the student learns.

Portfolio’s helps the student “express” what he/she actually knows (not like paper test), and that helps the teacher know if they are acquiring the knowledge the teacher is trying to get them to know.

I think by creating and developing my portfolio will increase my knowledge on how to develop it, and will be helpful when I become a teacher in the classroom and then I can pass it on to my students.
