Evaluations in Education

The invention of the wheel was not a stopping point or a finished product.  Just providing a grade or a level on a rubric for an educational activity should also not be a stopping point or viewed as a finished product.  Learning is a continuous process.  It is too bad that usually in education a grade is associated with, “I’m done.  So, how did I do?”  Instead, an evaluation in education should be, “This is what you have completed so far.  Now, how can it be improved?”
