“The purpose of this assignment is for you to articulate your approach to evaluating student learning. Think of it as a teaching philosophy, but focused specifically on data. What do you believe about how students learn? And how does this connect to your evaluation practices including assessment and other data collection methods? Be sure to cite the course readings to back up your beliefs and practices. If you are having trouble getting started, consider generating a simile or metaphor to help you articulate your approach. Include examples to illustrate your points.” I am attaching my 3 assessments I have turned in before this assignment.

I am also attaching pages from the textbook, to cite some references. Rubric for grading: Author cited relevant research to support their approach. Citations are logical and coherent.
