Three things that I have learned after reading this article are that we (as teachers) need to use assessments for learning, rather than of learning. Another thing that I learned from this article is assessment for learning involves teaching where and when it is needing during the learning process. The final thing that I learned from this article is that many teaching strategies are not universal; this means that sometimes what works for one teacher doesn't always work for all teachers.
Two ways that I found that I could integrate this new knowledge into my own teaching would be to learn what assessment are actually helping my students rather than just testing them on knowledge they wont retain. I could also use this information when studying other educators and the techniques that they use when teaching.
One question that I have for this reading is how do you (as an educator) know what is working for you (in a teaching style) and what isn't.
