Chapter four of Fair Isn’t Always Equal is fairly straightforward. It talks about “three important types of assessment.” This is one of those chapters that I can easily see myself referring back to as I begin my teaching career. It gives clear, step-by-step instructions on how to design a rubric. When I was in school, my teachers used rubrics for most large assignments. To me, it is important that I know what a teacher wants when they assign something, so I will always afford my students that respect. This section also talks about portfolios and student self-assessments, which I feel are important pieces of assessment because of how flexible they are. Students can use many different techniques to complete a portfolio, and the impetus is really on my to interpret their contributions correctly. In that same way, a self-assessment can give me valuable information on how a student is parsing the class.
