Science process and inquiry skills are essential to the development of skills necessary to live interesting, responsible and productive lives. Science instruction lends itself to integration with other subject areas and can generate student interest and motivation for all subject areas. Our economic development and national survival are contingent on the educational product produced in our schools. Educational development in the state of Georgia will help us produce future scientists and engineers who can maintain our country's technological competitiveness. Assessment Assessment in science should provide opportunities for students to demonstrate what they have learned in a variety of ways.
Good assessment is a learning experience.
As we provide students with effective assessment opportunities, we can monitor how well our instruction is meeting the learning needs of students. If assessment is shared with students as instruction begins, planning, teaching, and learning become more focused. Ongoing professional development and networking experiences for teachers will promote confidence and competence in science instruction. All Rights Reserved.
