Alternate assessment

The concept of assessment, in e realbodys estimation is that of the score card generated by the student as a result of the examination. A certain portion of the student community, however, is not able to concentrate part in such exams, (Massanari warble B. )and get a score card as the rest of their community. Such students may be hapless from any cognitive disabilities, or has deficits in communication or language. They may need highly specialize education program or educational support systems, exchangeable, assistive technology and personal c be systems (NYSAA).Such students lowlifenot practice in the routine examinations, even after the accommodations are made. The resource assessment system is designed by the Education department, to benefit such students.

In this short time span thither is so much to know, so many things to do. Engaging our mind constantly and continuously enriches our mind.It is this richness of mind which would make us live our life in a satisfactory way. I use all my extra time in collecting information on events that can be considered historic. They may be newspaper or magazine clippings, personal photographs or electronic data from the internet. Such a temper many times reveals many interesting facts, raises many questions or is simply amazing to our minds. I would like to share what some of my collections reveal. Till the devastation of New Orleans by a hurricane, the administration of the nearly powerfulcountry on this world was not aware of the fact that the land on which such a swelled human riding habitat has developed is much below the normal se a level. Science teaches us that on that point is no atmosphere on moon. The flag of the United States, which Neil Armstrong hoisted on the surface of moon, is fluttering. How? There was a crack of at least 50 legal proceeding between the attack on the twin towers of WTC and on the Pentagon. What was the most sophisticated military and air force of the super power of this world doing during this 50 minutes? Was it impossible to trace the missing planes?The precision with which late President John F. Kennedy was hit by the punch is evident from the fact that the X-ray plates, taken immediately after the shoot out, reveal that his skull had no brain. Pictures of innate beauty are simple refreshing to mind. I refer back to them whenever I feel monotonous. The colored farms of Switzerland, the vast stretches of deserts, the snow clad mountains, or the deep ocean sea life,,, nature is always very refreshing. Enrichments of mind is should go on continuously throughout our lives, irr espective of age and profession.That is precisely what a habit of collection does. References 1.
