Reflection 7

In order to be a good teacher, we must assess the students knowledge. Testing is an essential part of good classroom management. If the student knows he won't be tested on anything that the teacher presents, he won't listen, thus creating an environment that in not conducive to learning. I know that a good teacher tests while he is teaching, and also at the end. Testing also shows what the students are learning if one student gets a question wrong then that was his fault for not listening, but if the whole class gets it wrong then that was my fault as a teacher and i either didn't present it well enough or forgot to include in in the lecture. Testing and assessment are essential.
