We know. We know our real level of commitment is best demonstrated by our practice. So, we know that the real commitment level of the following teachers is not high:

• I’m a second grade language arts teacher who is committed to students writing well. Each year, my students write 1 journal entry.
• I’m a middle school Bible teacher who is committed to students memorizing God’s Word. Each year, my students memorize 2 verses.
• I’m a high school science teacher who is committed to students doing labs. Each year, my students do 2 labs.

In Christian education, we're committed to helping our students to connect what they study and what the Bible teaches. We know that assessment helps students make connections. So, we're committed to using assessment to help our students make these connections.
