למידה, אינטרנט ... ומה שביניהם

The report highlighted the "adverse effects" that often flow from a target-driven school culture and criticised Ofsted (ה-Office for Standards in Education) for taking a narrow, results-based view of learning in schools.

The report did not argue for an end to all external assessment. But it called for a shift toward more within-school, teacher-led assessment. This, it said, would not only save money but also a lot of the teaching time that is lost to exam preparation and administration.

And this is the key point: it is not about dropping school accountability altogether, but about making sure it does not obstruct teaching and learning.

"Hey Mr. Spencer, why do we have the Galileo if we already have common assessments and quizzes and projects with rubrics."
"Great question."
"If the purpose of an assessment is to see if I'm learning, isn't assessment happening every day?"
"Uh  huh."
"So, would they rather spend our time on teaching instead of assessing what they already assessed?"
"Yeah, you would think."
