Standard 6 is important to me as a teacher because if I don't gage my students knowledge, I won't know what topics they have previous knowledge on, what topics to teach, or what topics I may need to teach again. I believe that assessment is a critical aspect of my future classroom. As a teacher, I will assessment my students at the end of every major unit by having my students either take a test or complete a project. The projects will range from papers, group projects, or individual projects. Including projects in my assessment will allow for a more hands on approach to assessing my students knowledge and will allow students to use their creativity.
