Assessment Conclusion

Elder Jeffrey R. Holland of the Quorum of the Twelve Apostles encouraged teachers to “remember that a student is not a container to be filled; a student is a fire to be ignited” (“Angels and Astonishment” [Church Educational System training broadcast], June 12, 2019, broadcasts.ChurchofJesusChrist.org). Opportunities that students have as part of assessment activities in seminary are an important way to motivate students in their learning. They can help kindle a desire to deepen students’ conversion to Jesus Christ and His gospel. Giving students an opportunity to explain doctrine; reflect on their feelings, attitudes, and desires; and review plans or goals they are working on will help them be more deliberate in their efforts to become more like Heavenly Father and Jesus Christ.
