MultiBrief: Issues in assessing ESL students - 0 views

  •  
    Short, interesting article on assessing students. I found this particularly interesting -- didn't know that about Saudi students. "Oral exams - common in some courses - may present a challenge to both students and instructors. Wait time after the question may be longer than expected for Asian students, who are showing respect, while Saudi students may give a quick answer, which is a sign of strength."

6 Tips For Finding Inspiration In Your Teaching - 1 views

      This part of the article was so disheartening... "Evaluations are to make us look good-they affect or rating and certification. Coaching and development-should be done among friends." PD is about learning, and the goal of any assessment should be recognition of what's already done well and identification of areas that can be strengthened. That's what we expect from students...why should it be any different for us as professionals? PD should be a chance to learn, grow, and share as professionals, not a punitive process or a dog-and-pony show. It's so disheartening that bad PD practices continue to reinforce these concepts.
