There is a discussion in the article, "The Teaching and Learning Cycle: Integrating Curriculum, Instruction, and Assessment", concerning the importance of incorporating assessment into the teaching and learning process in order to assess if a student has gained the knowledge necessary for them to take the next steps in their educational journey (Jones, 2008).) Additionally, this article discusses the historical steps and advancements made towards implementing assessments (Jones, 2008). According to Jones (2008),Jesus himself implementedthe concept of assessment in His own teaching cycle. In the article "What Use is Educational Assessment?" the importanceof assessments and its roles are also emphasized and examined (Berman et al., 2019). It is the authors' intention to describe in this article how assessment is an important tool that can be used in making curriculum decisions, monitoring progress, making placement decisions for students, maintaining teacher and student accountability, and evaluating the effectiveness of educational systems at a national level (Berman et al., 2019). Student learning outcomes have been shown to improve through increased accountability provided by assessments (Berman et al., 2019). As well as discussing the history of assessments in the US education system, this article discusses the timeframe in which they became widely used. The article also emphasizes the importance of implementing this world view into our daily assessments as educators. When looking at the the two articles and the topic of assessments in educations I can see many similarities. Both articles discuss the importance of assessments in education. In the article “The Teaching and Learning Cycle: Intergrating Curriculum, Instruction, and Assessment” noted the biblical perspective on the assessment process. They noted that Jesus himself provided assessments in his own teaching styles when he used certain types of methods of testing in order to prepare His disciples for the challenges of the future (Jones, 2008) The articles both share a common goal and theme as they focus on the assessment process and the educational purpose of assessments. Both of the articles argue that any type of assessment is always in the best interest of the student in order to determine what systems, learning styles, and/or opportunities are hindering a child or benefiting their educational journey. As educators, one of our most crucial roles is to be able to assess a child’s needs and progress during their short time with us. This can be incredibly important for children with disabilities and IEPs as their progress and data needs to be tracked in order to determine if they are meeting their goals and objectives developed by the IEP team.

I enjoyed reading about your teaching experience with children with disabilities. I also am a Special Education teacher, I work in a private therapeutic day school for children with behavioral and academic disabilities. The students I work with on a daily basis have a dire need for

assessments in the classroom. I agree with your notion that assessments are crucial for all teacher and especially in the special education realm. I found your articles very interesting! The article that you researched that focused on incorporating multiple types of assessments such as motor skills was very beneficial to learn more about as I work with students of all different needs. As in the article I researched, all assessments should have the same end goal to benefit the learner and have their best interest at heart (Berman, 2019). As you also stated, Jesus is the teacher of all and we can learn by his teaching to his disciples in order to better educate our students in our classrooms. In Proverbs 9:9 our Lord and Savior states “Instruct the wise and they will be wiser still; teach the righteous and they will add to their learning.” This verse speaks to how we can instruct our students but how as educators we can also add to our own learning as well as theirs by bettering ourselves in the area of assessment and teaching.
