Testing for Intelligence

Assessing our children
As I look threw articles and books for my refereneces to get ideas to better assess children in math,literacy, and science. That helps me know what the children have learned through time.Formative is what a students know or can do to figure out what come next. Formative and summative assessment are to check the results of the formative assessments are used by teachers and students to help the children improve their learning. Think that children are not measure. Cause it do not measured everything about the child. It do not show what the child cognitive development.

In England the testing/assessment methods of the overall method is a national standardized testing and in classroom they have quizzes and in the United States we have a National Standardized testing, State standardized testing and In-classroom testing. But in England the format of testing is essay format only and the United State we have MC tests, essay tests, fill in the blank tests, and portfolios. Every child learns in difference ways. That teaches children's to be prepare for other tests.
