DESCRIPTION AND OBJECTIVES

Classrooms are busy places. Every day in every classroom, teachers make decisions about their pupils, the success of their own instruction and perform number of other tasks. Teachers continually observe, monitor, and review pupil performance to obtain evidence for decision. Evidence gathering and classroom making are necessary and ongoing aspects of teaches’ lives in classroom. And decisions based on this evidence serve to establish, organize, and monitor classroom qualities such as pupil learning, interpersonal relations, social adjustment, instructional content and classroom climate. Keeping in view the tasks teachers have to perform in classroom, this course has been organized to follow the natural progression of teacher’ decision making form organizing the classroom as a social setting, to planning and conducting instruction to the formal assessment of pupil learning, to grading and finally to communicating results to an ongoing part of teaching therefore this course covers the broad range of assessments.
