\.Tradition reason for assessment, today's reason, or both:

ANSWERS✔-Today
\.Tradition reason for assessment, today's reason, or both:
"I think every teacher has a professional obligation to make sure their school is
accurately evaluated, but also to assure that each teacher in the school is
accurately evaluated. Moreover, when appraising schools or teachers, most

must understand what's going on when kids are tested." - ANSWERS✔-Today
\.Tradition reason for assessment, today's reason, or both:
,"Leaders of both the National Education Association and the American Federation
of Teachers have strongly endorsed the more frequent assessment of students as
a way to better educate the nation's children. Accordingly, current teachers need
to know about assessment fundamentals before they try to teach their students."
- ANSWERS✔-Neither
\.Tradition reason for assessment, today's reason, or both:
"When I plan a new unit of instruction for my fourth-grade students, I always—
and I mean always—first create the end-of-unit assessments I'll be using. By doing
so, I acquire a much more clear idea of where I am heading instructionally, and
thereby help my lesson-planning immensely." - ANSWERS✔-Today
\.Tradition reason for assessment, today's reason, or both:
"Just a year ago, the voters in our school district voted favorably in a huge school-
levy election that brought in substantial tax dollars for our schools. Most of the
district's teachers are convinced that this positive support for the schools was
based on our schools' consistently high rankings on the state's annual
accountability tests." - ANSWERS✔-Today
\.Tradition reason for assessment, today's reason, or both:
"Just as physicians need to know about patients' blood pressure and what it
indicates, teachers need to know about educational testing. It is simply part of
what a solid educational professional needs to understand." - ANSWERS✔-Neither
\.Tradition reason for assessment, today's reason, or both:
"We have an enormously diverse collection of students in our school, and their
levels of achievement are all over the lot. Accordingly, when I get a new group of
, students for my third-grade classroom each fall, you can bet that during the early
days of the school year I assess their entry behavior, that is, the knowledge and
skills those children already possess. It helps me to know where I need to put my
instructional energies during the school year." - ANSWERS✔-Traditional
\.Tradition reason for assessment, today's reason, or both:
"I was quite surprised when our state's department of education insisted that
each of the state's teachers collect accurate evidence of their students' growth
because such evidence was to be used in evaluating all of the state's teachers. I
have, for my entire career, collected pretest and posttest evidence of my students'
achievement status because this helps melong dash—irrespective of what the
state wants me to dolong dash—determine which changes, if any, are needed
during next year's instruction." - ANSWERS✔-Both
\.Tradition reason for assessment, today's reason, or both:
"Wishing that students will make progress does not guarantee that students
actually will do so. And this is why I believe teachers have a fundamental
responsibility to monitor their students' progress throughout the school year. I try
to administer informal progress-monitoring quizzes every few weeks to make sure
my instruction is "taking." If my instruction is not working as well as I want it to
work, then I can make modifications in my upcoming teaching plans. Assessment-
based monitoring of students' progress is so very sensible that it's hard for me to
understand why it is not more widely used." - ANSWERS✔-Traditional
\.Accurate or Inaccurate representation of one of the 9 factors that should be
routinely considered when deciding what should be the focus of the teacher's
classroom assessments:
