A Note of Professional Thanks

 I would like to thank all of my colleagues for your support and I especially like to thank Dr. Myers for being so concerned about my health during this eight weeks. I enjoyed reading all of your blogs and discussions during the eight weeks of class.

Thanks again and I wish you all the best in your education journey.

Testing for Intelligence

 I believe that the whole child should be measured or assessed because you need to look at how that child learns and what that child knows in order for you to know what level that child is on at the beginning of the school year. If you can find out what a child knows, it will better help you to know how to help that child. Because I have learned that all children they learn at a certain pace than other children in your classroom. When I assesse my children in my classroom I like to do the assessment one on one, that way I will be able to focus on what that child knows or doesn’t know at the beginning of the school year.

The country or region of the world that I chose was Ethiopian school in Africa. In what ways are school-age children are assessed in Ethiopian by their age in the country by their height and teeth and “every year a student must pass a promotion exam, at grades 8&10 these are nationally assessed, otherwise they are regionally assessed (A-CET, pg.1).”

I would like to share a few websites with my colleagues for assessing young children in their classroom: www.indiana.edu/~intell/index.html history of intelligence testing and www.nwrel.org/eval/index.html Northwest Regional ED. Lab. Classroom assessment for them to learn more about testing for intelligence.
