The modern educational trend is to move away from norm-referenced

66

assessment and to introduce criteria-based assessment models where

assessment is based upon pre-established learning objectives In a

criterion-referenced test the purpose is not to rank each student with

Strength of a Teacher amp the Global Teacher Prize

Im privileged to have had an education that

taught me to approach the world with openness

curiosity and flexibility I was surrounded by

great teachers that modeled the rigorous

intellectual discipline needed to disrupt

culturally constructed ways of knowing to

bypass static habitual perspectives and to greet

the world with empathy authenticity and a

playful sense of humor The Global Teacher Prize

is exciting because it acknowledges the

importance o f teachers and the enormous

impact they have The future is in the hands of

our children the spirit they encounter in todays

classrooms will provide the foundation for

tomorrows world Jordan Shapiro

Summative assessments are generally used to assign students a course

The modern educational trend is to move away from norm-referenced

66

assessment and to introduce criteria-based assessment models where

assessment is based upon pre-established learning objectives In a

criterion-referenced test the purpose is not to rank each student with

Strength of a Teacher amp the Global Teacher Prize

Im privileged to have had an education that

taught me to approach the world with openness

curiosity and flexibility I was surrounded by

great teachers that modeled the rigorous

intellectual discipline needed to disrupt

culturally constructed ways of knowing to

bypass static habitual perspectives and to greet

the world with empathy authenticity and a

playful sense of humor The Global Teacher Prize

is exciting because it acknowledges the

importance o f teachers and the enormous

impact they have The future is in the hands of

our children the spirit they encounter in todays

classrooms will provide the foundation for

tomorrows world Jordan Shapiro

assessment has become an integral part of instructional education

Summative assessments are generally used to assign students a course

to determine whether or not the goals of education are being met

The modern educational trend is to move away from norm-referenced

66

assessment and to introduce criteria-based assessment models where

assessment is based upon pre-established learning objectives In a

criterion-referenced test the purpose is not to rank each student with

Strength of a Teacher amp the Global Teacher Prize

Im privileged to have had an education that

taught me to approach the world with openness

curiosity and flexibility I was surrounded by

great teachers that modeled the rigorous

intellectual discipline needed to disrupt

culturally constructed ways of knowing to

bypass static habitual perspectives and to greet

the world with empathy authenticity and a

playful sense of humor The Global Teacher Prize

is exciting because it acknowledges the

importance o f teachers and the enormous

impact they have The future is in the hands of

our children the spirit they encounter in todays

classrooms will provide the foundation for

tomorrows world Jordan Shapiro

International Baccalaureate is an educational programme that has

successfully implemented the criterion based assessment model in the

delivery of their curriculum Grade descriptors are identiied for each

view that examinations are a necessary evil However summative

65

assessment has become an integral part of instructional education

Summative assessments are generally used to assign students a course

gradewiththeideaofsummarizingwhatthestudentshavelearntandto

knowwhetherthematerialhasbeenunderstoodwellInshortitismeant

to determine whether or not the goals of education are being met

In Sri Lanka the secondary education culminates with the General

The modern educational trend is to move away from norm-referenced

66

assessment and to introduce criteria-based assessment models where

assessment is based upon pre-established learning objectives In a

criterion-referenced test the purpose is not to rank each student with

respecttotheachievementofothersbuttodeterminewhethereachstudent

theassessmentexpertGrantWiggins thecriteria-basedassessment isa

superior model as it requires greater student involvement with the

intention of developing student processes in critical thinking

Strength of a Teacher amp the Global Teacher Prize

Im privileged to have had an education that

taught me to approach the world with openness

curiosity and flexibility I was surrounded by

great teachers that modeled the rigorous

intellectual discipline needed to disrupt

culturally constructed ways of knowing to

bypass static habitual perspectives and to greet

the world with empathy authenticity and a

playful sense of humor The Global Teacher Prize

is exciting because it acknowledges the

importance o f teachers and the enormous

impact they have The future is in the hands of

our children the spirit they encounter in todays

classrooms will provide the foundation for

tomorrows world Jordan Shapiro

International Baccalaureate is an educational programme that has

successfully implemented the criterion based assessment model in the

delivery of their curriculum Grade descriptors are identiied for each

ColtonMoststudentsdreadthewordexaminationandmanyareofthe

view that examinations are a necessary evil However summative

65

assessment has become an integral part of instructional education

Summative assessments are generally used to assign students a course

gradewiththeideaofsummarizingwhatthestudentshavelearntandto

knowwhetherthematerialhasbeenunderstoodwellInshortitismeant

to determine whether or not the goals of education are being met

In Sri Lanka the secondary education culminates with the General

CertiicateofEducation(OrdinaryLevelandAdvancedLevel)examinations

The modern educational trend is to move away from norm-referenced

66

assessment and to introduce criteria-based assessment models where

assessment is based upon pre-established learning objectives In a

criterion-referenced test the purpose is not to rank each student with

respecttotheachievementofothersbuttodeterminewhethereachstudent

withoutdiscriminatingbetweenthehighandlowachieversAccordingto

theassessmentexpertGrantWiggins thecriteria-basedassessment isa

superior model as it requires greater student involvement with the

intention of developing student processes in critical thinking

Strength of a Teacher amp the Global Teacher Prize

Im privileged to have had an education that

taught me to approach the world with openness

curiosity and flexibility I was surrounded by

great teachers that modeled the rigorous

intellectual discipline needed to disrupt

culturally constructed ways of knowing to

bypass static habitual perspectives and to greet

the world with empathy authenticity and a

playful sense of humor The Global Teacher Prize

is exciting because it acknowledges the

importance o f teachers and the enormous

impact they have The future is in the hands of

our children the spirit they encounter in todays

classrooms will provide the foundation for

tomorrows world Jordan Shapiro

The modern educational trend is to move away from norm-referenced

66

assessment and to introduce criteria-based assessment models where

assessment is based upon pre-established learning objectives In a

criterion-referenced test the purpose is not to rank each student with

Strength of a Teacher amp the Global Teacher Prize

Im privileged to have had an education that

taught me to approach the world with openness

curiosity and flexibility I was surrounded by

great teachers that modeled the rigorous

intellectual discipline needed to disrupt

culturally constructed ways of knowing to

bypass static habitual perspectives and to greet

the world with empathy authenticity and a

playful sense of humor The Global Teacher Prize

is exciting because it acknowledges the

importance o f teachers and the enormous

impact they have The future is in the hands of

our children the spirit they encounter in todays

classrooms will provide the foundation for

tomorrows world Jordan Shapiro

The modern educational trend is to move away from norm-referenced

66

assessment and to introduce criteria-based assessment models where

assessment is based upon pre-established learning objectives In a

criterion-referenced test the purpose is not to rank each student with

Strength of a Teacher amp the Global Teacher Prize

Im privileged to have had an education that

taught me to approach the world with openness

curiosity and flexibility I was surrounded by

great teachers that modeled the rigorous

intellectual discipline needed to disrupt

culturally constructed ways of knowing to

bypass static habitual perspectives and to greet

the world with empathy authenticity and a

playful sense of humor The Global Teacher Prize

is exciting because it acknowledges the

importance o f teachers and the enormous

impact they have The future is in the hands of

our children the spirit they encounter in todays

classrooms will provide the foundation for

tomorrows world Jordan Shapiro

International Baccalaureate is an educational programme that has

successfully implemented the criterion based assessment model in the

delivery of their curriculum Grade descriptors are identiied for each

view that examinations are a necessary evil However summative

65

assessment has become an integral part of instructional education

Summative assessments are generally used to assign students a course

gradewiththeideaofsummarizingwhatthestudentshavelearntandto

knowwhetherthematerialhasbeenunderstoodwellInshortitismeant

to determine whether or not the goals of education are being met

In Sri Lanka the secondary education culminates with the General

The modern educational trend is to move away from norm-referenced

66

assessment and to introduce criteria-based assessment models where

assessment is based upon pre-established learning objectives In a

criterion-referenced test the purpose is not to rank each student with

respecttotheachievementofothersbuttodeterminewhethereachstudent

theassessmentexpertGrantWiggins thecriteria-basedassessment isa

superior model as it requires greater student involvement with the

intention of developing student processes in critical thinking

Strength of a Teacher amp the Global Teacher Prize

Im privileged to have had an education that

taught me to approach the world with openness

curiosity and flexibility I was surrounded by

great teachers that modeled the rigorous

intellectual discipline needed to disrupt

culturally constructed ways of knowing to

bypass static habitual perspectives and to greet

the world with empathy authenticity and a

playful sense of humor The Global Teacher Prize

is exciting because it acknowledges the

importance o f teachers and the enormous

impact they have The future is in the hands of

our children the spirit they encounter in todays

classrooms will provide the foundation for

tomorrows world Jordan Shapiro

The modern educational trend is to move away from norm-referenced

66

assessment and to introduce criteria-based assessment models where

assessment is based upon pre-established learning objectives In a

criterion-referenced test the purpose is not to rank each student with

Strength of a Teacher amp the Global Teacher Prize

Im privileged to have had an education that

taught me to approach the world with openness

curiosity and flexibility I was surrounded by

great teachers that modeled the rigorous

intellectual discipline needed to disrupt

culturally constructed ways of knowing to

bypass static habitual perspectives and to greet

the world with empathy authenticity and a

playful sense of humor The Global Teacher Prize

is exciting because it acknowledges the

importance o f teachers and the enormous

impact they have The future is in the hands of

our children the spirit they encounter in todays

classrooms will provide the foundation for

tomorrows world Jordan Shapiro
