  Case: What are some methods you have found to be effective when assessing student learning?
If you are asked this question in a job interview for a teaching position: What are some things you should avoid when responding to this question? What might be some important points to stress that would get the interviewer's attention? How would you respond to this question?
Solution: (Rates are posted for this solution!)
I would avoid the generic response "tests" I would try to come up with other interesting ideas. For instance, a game of jeopardy using clickers may be an interesting and effective way to asses students learning. I would back this up with the statement that if the children are having fun while learning they will retain more.
