I am Selina from Labasa Vanua Levu. I am a Kindergarten Teacher and the reason I have taken up this course because of my eagerness to learn more about Assessments and it’s importance on the lives of every student we teach and how we can use those assessment tools or skills to ehance our teaching strategies and also develop learning strategies that suit each students learning development since not every child develop the same way.

Bula everyone. I am Lensley Livu Bani from Vanuatu but studying here at Laucala Campus. I am a teacher trainer at the Vanuatu Teacher training institute back home but I am here at the University of the South Pacific on a study leave. So happy to be part of this talanoa group.
Greetings everyone. I am Sheila Drew from Johannesburg South Africa. I am an overall facilitator on this course. I hope you engage well with each other. I will engage more in the main course feed, but I popped in here for a quick look. I notice some of you work with very young children. Early childhood is my field of specialty, and I cannot resist to ask a question. What do you think are the differences and similarities in assessment of very young children and older primary and high school students?
Wishing you all well.
