Education Alignment

My first response to alignment was that this is going to be hard to see. However, I was mistaken. I have been able to see education alignment in all of my classes. One specific class that comes to mind first is an English class that I have taken. My previous work in basically all of the upper English classes I have taken, the assessment was based off of all writing projects. Each class consisted of the goal having students be able to analyze literature, the curriculum, essays and short papers, the pedagogy, small group work and lecture, and the assessment, final essays. Although, in one class I have recently gone through, the assessment had quizzes as well as essays. In the beginning of the class, I had no idea what exactly the quizzes would consist of. Anyway, I have plenty of time to observe other classrooms and I am eager to discover exactly how teachers keep an alignment.
