I think this topic is the one that makes me most anxious. When it comes to actually becoming a teacher, I have no idea how to handle this. It is really good and interesting to read about the best practices, so I understand why multiple assessments are a good idea and, as Rubin says, “empowering”. But I’m still nervous about how to do all these different assessments at regular intervals and synthesize all the data I get into effective lessons for so many students. Rubin called it daunting and I totally agree.
