he item in my learning portfolio that really helps me to demonstrate this point is the ‘Responding to and Assessment Parable’. I read the story more than once to make sure I really understood everything that was going on before I tried to answer the questions. After reading and looking at the questions in detail I gave myself time to think critically about them and try to come up with answers. After developing the answers I did, I believe I organized them in a way such that they are easy to understand and are detailed but concise. One of the points in the story that really hit home with me was the fact that if we set up our students to learn one way, but test their knowledge in another way, they will not be successful. I believe that I now really understand that since students learn in different ways, they must be assessed in different ways if we want them to show their skills and abilities in the best way.
