assessment

Assessment comes from the Latin word "assidere", which means "to sit beside". What does this actually look like in our practice? How do we know students have mastered the content? How do students know that they have learnt? If they have, or haven't, how do we use that information? What, then, and what's next? What assessment strategies,  philosophies and tools are out there? What are our beliefs about assessment? How do we develop our own and out students' assessment literacy? As PE teachers, we  must understand what assessment is, and is not.
