We, teachers, have spent years in mastering the pedagogy of teaching. We mainly focus on finding the right strategies and teaching styles following different theories to help the learners learn effectively. We basically deliver the curriculum in class.

As the learners progress, teaching has become more and more challenging since the theories that we’ve been applying before don’t fit their learning styles anymore. There are adjustments needed to be made, and teachers must be flexible to do that. So, how can we tell that learning is experienced by every learner?  We must then be experts in assessing it. Teachers must be capable of evaluating if the learners have really learned the lessons well and can make use of what they have gained in real-life situations. We must have the initiative to equip ourselves with the knowledge that will be an important factor to help the learners achieve meaningful learning.

Knowing where the learning of the learners is helps us improve our strategies even more.

“We do not only need experts in teaching, more than this, we need experts in assessing learning!"

The message implies that we don't just need professionals who can deliver their lessons well, but also professionals who make sure that the learning objectives are being met. By this, the teacher will know which learning competency needs more attention, then the teacher can focus more on that for improvement.

“We do not only need experts in teaching, more than this, we need experts in assessing learning.”

When we were still students, we experienced the traditional way of teaching and learning process from our teachers who we admired because they delivered the lessons well and whom we learned so much from. Now as a teacher, I realize that the best way to assess the learning of a child is through application of the learning they acquired which they can use once they leave the four corners of the classroom.
