3. Prayer (you are welcome to join or take a mental break) Prayer requests?
Serenity Prayer God grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change; courage to change the things I can; and wisdom to know the difference. Living one day at a time; enjoying one moment at a time; accepting hardships as the pathway to peace; taking, as He did, this sinful world as it is, not as I would have it; trusting that He will make all things right if I surrender to His Will; that I may be reasonably happy in this life and supremely happy with Him forever in the next. Amen.

7. Define the purpose of assessment
Diagnostic Assessment: Determines, prior to instruction, each student’s strengths, weaknesses, knowledge, and skills. Establishing these permits the instructor to remediate students and adjust the curriculum to meet each pupil’s unique needs.
Formative Assessment: Reflects the needs and progress of students. Usually not graded, these provide information to guide teachers as they make instructional decisions to modify and adjust teaching practices.
Summative Assessment: Evaluates student learning at the end of a term, chapter, semester, or year. High-stakes testing is also a form of Summative assessment. (Swearington, 2002)
