The presentation is about assessment of Multiple intelligence

I taught twenty students and prepared them for this year's General English final exams in literature and language for ISC. While doing this I had actually put in some posts on the process in the resources section. Finally the results have come out. My students have all uniformly fared well. While this makes me happy it also makes me wonder about assessment. The results in hand are like this, one A+, an A, six A-'s, a B and all the others B+'s. read more

Since there has been much written here on educatorslogin on the subject of Multiple Intelligences (MI) and the use of this theory in the classroom, I thought I'd share a few sites that teachers, parents...anyone really, can use to assess their MI profile, and more importantly to help identify strengths (and weaknesses) of your students, perhaps at the beginning of the academic year when you have a bunch of new students to work with.

While the ones with unfavorable variations, will cease to exist. Similarly we teachers have to create their own niche, to ensure survival of the fittest in a rapidly growing global educational scenario. read more

There have been some interesting discussions on this forum on the topic of Assessment of a student's learning - what form it should take, and especially an oft-repeated concern that in India, our exams are more a test of rote learning than understanding, and that this issue is clearly undermining the quality of our educational system.

I want to share here, information about an organization that has devised a test that is a better test of a child's understanding than what is used in most schools in our country (tests of "knowing" rather than "understanding") read more
