In order to achieve success people must learn to use their strengths and improve their weaknesses.

After taking the test I was pleased to find I had more strengths than weaknesses. However, the test brought to light issues that I did not realize could be hindering my success
For the Test Critique Assignment I choose the Bench Mark Assessment Test for fourth grade. I think it is a great asset to know how my bilingual students are performing against other fourth graders or even to compare them with the national and state scores.

Psychological assessment is an important part of the counselling process. Quite often psychological assessment is confused with psychological testing, even though they are different.

I will analyse assessments and their purpose in enabling. I will use my own teaching practice to demonstrate where assessment has/has not aided or encouraged learning.
