“When a teacher teaches, no matter how well he or she might
design a lesson, what a child learns is unpredictable. Children
do not always learn what we teach. That is why the most
important assessment does not happen at the end of the
learning-it happens during the learning when there is still
time to do something with the information”. – Dylan William,
