- Evaluation processes are subjective and are always affected by context.
- Assessment is an inclusive term that refers to all methods or processes, both informal and formal, used by teachers, students and others to interpret information about student progress or teacher effectiveness.

Evaluation: Smith and Lovat (2003, p. 169) suggest therefore that evaluation is at
the heart of any teaching and curriculum process.

Assessment: In his Australian Education Review , Geoff Masters (2013) proposes an Assessment Learning System that distinguishes between assessment as judging and assessment as understanding.

Measurement: a baby is assigned an Apgar score (out of ten) to describe her general condition after her heart rate, breathing rate, muscle tone, reflex and colour are measured within two minutes of birth. A score of 10 is perfect while 1–3 indicates the baby has experienced some distress in the birthing process (McGill, 2016, p. 56).

They use words such as test to mean assessment but is necessary to know what the term is referring to as in the case of curriculum and syllabus which are often conflated. 
- Formative assessment includes any evidence gathered along the student learning journey. Such assessment is used to monitor student learning and adapt teaching and learning strategies progressively to meet individual student needs.

Regarding teacher evaluation it reminds me of reflective practice. Although the text discusses it I remember how a teacher is encouraged to improve through self reflection and take all aspect of their teaching and development as a teacher to critically ask themselves questions. ]]> 2018-07-10 23:07:12 UTC https://padlet.com/erum_abbas1/lkeaoleppys2/wish/269887085 Identify something new you have learned from the reading that you find most significant. erum_abbas1 https://padlet.com/erum_abbas1/lkeaoleppys2/wish/269887102 To be more consistent when using these terms 
There are many ways to gather  information about student learning.
The most significant things I have learnt are the definitions and the importance not to conflate the terms such as assessing students and evaluating teachers.

In the further reading section I looked up Absolum’s book; Clarity in the Classroom: Using Formative Assessment which is interesting because it ‘emphasises  assessment for learning rather than of learning’ (McGill, 2016, p. 71). ]]> 2018-07-10 23:08:53 UTC https://padlet.com/erum_abbas1/lkeaoleppys2/wish/269887157 erum_abbas1 https://padlet.com/erum_abbas1/lkeaoleppys2/wish/270147515 2018-07-13 13:59:12 UTC https://padlet.com/erum_abbas1/lkeaoleppys2/wish/270147515
