Student learning assessment is really about checking whether students actually understand the material, not just whether they can repeat it. Quick checks, like short questions, hands‑on demos, or mini‑reviews, make sure students are keeping up and to adjust my teaching when they’re not.
I learned that assessments don't have to be time consuming, a short quiz can be a good check-in to let you know how well, or not, the students understand what you have been teaching. It is important to adjust your teaching as needed, if assessments show lower comprehension. Also that practicum supervisors are in a great position to observe skills in action, and give feedback to both the students and the instructor as to what is going well and what improvements may be needed. As a supervisor, I plan to continue to give actionable feedback to students in the clinic, as well as the the relevant instructors if needed. As a TA, I plan to think of questions that may be useful for the teacher to add to a short quiz.
Nothing beats a good discussion between instructors and students. You can tell by the answers that the students respond with whether they have been listening or not. There is also experience insight from the instructor to help futher the discussion. Which now paints a larger picture for the student in their upcoming work environment.
Regularly assessing students throughout the course allows us to identify areas that need improvement.
I learned that student learning assessment is more than just tests or grades—it’s about checking understanding throughout the learning process. Using different assessment methods, like questions, activities, and feedback, helps identify what students are learning and where they may need extra support. I also learned the importance of giving timely and constructive feedback. I plan to apply this by regularly checking for understanding, adjusting instruction when needed, and using assessments as a tool to support learning rather than just evaluate it.
As a clinical instructor I can engage my students regarding ethical reasoning skills to egage their thinking about ethical principles.

how I can use a variety of assessment methods ,them I can to accurately evaluate my students and they have a chance to understand all material giving to them in de class
Covering the different types of assessments and how to implement is very helpful.
Reinforced the difference between formative and summative assessments.
Develop more questions to evaluate student understanding
using various forms of assessments
Classroom assessments that we all have an understanding of and all are learning what I'm am teaching.
Utilizing various forms of assessment can assist in creating a class that serves the students to a greater degree.
The ability to distinguish when I am using passive vs active voice. Active voice tends to provide more focus or clarity but is also more narrow. Passive is seems to be more broad spectrum and addresses more, this is why its commonly used in procedures, processes and policies than in direct communication.
Also, the general education facilitators evaluations was an important element to me, this is where the learners "learn" how to interact orally or in a written manner.
I've found that using soft skills creates a safe space for student. They are more comfortable asking questions. They don't fear providing incorrect responses.
Assessments/evaluations allows for the instructor to confirm that information is being retained. If not, adjustments can be made.
Assessment is important in the educational process. Formative and summative assessments both have their places in the classroom. Instructors should continually be using formative assessments to measure student learning and to adapt instruction to meet students' needs.

If students don't learn soft skills that are relevant to maintain a career being on time, getting along with co-workers communicating with workers, clients and patients then the institution has failed that student. Major skills that are taught include critical thinking, writing, communication, problem solving , ethnical reasoning and values and attitudes and areas must be assessed for understanding.
Don't overcomplicate it. Pre-test...content....post-test. This will give you and the students the ability to analyze what they learned and did not learn.
