The different types of assessments seem to be very effective in their own respective, or instance: pre-assessments could be used at the beginning of the unit to determine where the students are at. Formative and summative assessments really seem to be beneficial because they help the students get a better understanding of how much they really did know. For instance: in the formative assessments I do agree that a teacher's feedback is very important for the students to help them understand what they need to work on.
Another thing that really struck as essential was that teachers tend to focus too much on preparing students for life that they don't focus on what the students need to gain from the curriculum. I feel like I can relate to that because I always said I would be that teacher who is preparing them for life and using school as an example of the difficulties that life will present, but I do realize that as much as that holds importance for students you really do need to focus on what they need to learn and help them with what's essential academically. There will be plenty of opportunities for life to present them with challenges and even though being prepared is helpful, also knowing you have support is equally helpful and that's what I really learned we need to focus on.
