No Child Left Behind (NCLB)-II: What We Want for and from NCLB

Let us consider the taking of the first step:

What we want in NCLB is simply the way of evaluation that goes beyond our written and spoken words. For it, we search many different ways, but it usually does not happen, because research is not search. We may take the example of evaluation that we usually seek from the examiner who interprets what we written and speak as well as the other ways of other expressions of our learning and knowledge. This evaluation may be like this:

1. The written works and the related ways of its evaluation:

(a) Teacher or evaluator prepares an exam for us say 10%

(b) We prepare our own exam, which we feel that we know 10%

(c) We do both A and B for our real life experience in the relevant context or criteria 10%

2. Practical in the above said manner A and B with the chosen ways that may include oral, viva, interview, lecture, seminar, exhibition, debate, etc. 20%

3. Our own chosen way of research work on the given topic, by the way we socialize what we idealize and materialize in the very research and go through its evaluation by interaction by any selected way that suits our own style. Like its presentation to parents or family, friends, relatives, teacher, the selected audience of our choice, the way we wish to interact like discussion, interview and any way of interaction that may even be our new selected one. And it goes through the selected ways of 1, 2, 3 with A and B conditions if necessary 20%

4. We select our own way of evaluation for additional marks (For example we are want to submit an essay but we wish to deliver a speech in nobody’s presence) or on the spot improvement that part of evaluation labeled as weak or poor. In other words it is the given alternative chance to exhibit that we know but are weak in the method of presentation) -10%

5. Project Assignment: It may include our interaction with children, young and the old as well as the juniors, colleagues and seniors in which we go through the previous steps, ways and means 1-4 and A (5%) and B (5%) -10%

6. Assignment on the study material in which we have at least one autobiography and the novel, play, stories and the similar our choice, it may include our own autobiography 10%

and there can be many other options. Thanks!
