Throughout the Bachelor of Education program in York University, we learned about assessment for learning, assessment as learning and assessment of learning.

The most important concept that I understood after reading the Growing Success document is that assessment should aim at improving student learning.

To be honest I was stuck at how to assess equitably.

Finally under the guidance of my mentor teacher at Cedarwood Public School, I learned that

• assessing equitably means that we need to look for opportunities where we can uplift students' spirit by recognizing their work. It does not have to be a perfect product but even an effort of achieving the product must be considered as a positive point in assessing them. 

• Conversations, Observations should be taken into account while doing any kind of assessment.

• Also, how to differentiate assessment when having diverse learners in the class. For example, while doing the assessment of learning for Coding for the  two MLL students in my class: I differentiated the assessment by asking them to make two codes instead of explaining me the logic asked in the assessment given to other students in class.

• I also believe that teachers should communicate the feedback on the process to the parents and not just the marks of final product.
