When it comes to education, HOW students learn has become as important as WHAT they learn; it is imperative that children develop a strong learning process and the right attitude towards learning. And so, varied assessment systems need to be in place so that children have multiple opportunities to express what they know and understand. This way, each child’s learning can be guided in a way that eventually promotes mastery for all children. A fitting analogy for learning any concept or skill is the scaling of a mountain. The end goal is to know if all children can get to the summit but a single test based approach for measuring learning, tells all children to scale the mountain by walking up the same path. It does not allow students to show that some can get the same result if they are allowed to climb over rocks or rappel their way up.
