Description of a method of understanding
prior-knowledge of students.
Teachers should understand the
prior-knowledge of their students. They can do so by using a broad variety of
assessments to better understand their students. The assessments do not have to
be formal. Teachers can use activities as a way to assess. This makes it fun
and easy for both the teacher and students.

Discussion on the importance of establishing
anchors for a project.
Establishing anchors for a project
is important to do. You gain a sense of where students are starting. You can
also determine how far they are going as they work to meet their learning
goals.

Description of several ways to assess what
students learned during the project.
There are several ways to assess what
students learned during a project. One way that helps students and teachers are
the use of rubrics. These are a great way to help students stay focused and for
the teacher to grade from. Online grade books are another way. Online grade
books are a great way for parents to stay connected to the student and teacher
because all have access to the students’ grades.

Discussion on how concepts in this chapter
relate to your topic/project.
This chapter for the most part
relates to my topic/project. Students will be assessed on smaller projects that
build onto a greater assessment, the family dinner.
I really like how you want to make assessing your students knowledge fun! I think its important as teachers that we always have our learning experiences fun so that way students can learn and enjoy it ! I agree that using rubrics are a great way to assess the knowledge of students and the use of an online grade book I agree is great to help the students really keep track of their grades as well as the parents.I really like your reflection.
ReplyDeleteI really like how you mention that teachers can use activities to asses. This is a fun way to get your students involved and thinking about a subject before it is introduced formally. It is also easier for you to get to really understand how much your students actually understand instead of having to go off of what they write.
ReplyDeleteGood reflection Kasey! I really liked how you explained how the assessments do not have to be formal. I believe when most people think of assessments they think of difficult test but like you stated in your reflection, assessments can be fun and entertaining for both the students and the teachers. Also i enjoyed that you mentioned on line grade books as a way of assessing students, because this is something i believe is becoming very common within educational practices.
