dont mess with assessing!

Assessing is NOT EvALuAtiNg!!



Assessing your students is a great way to understand where they are before during and after an activity. It allows the teacher to also assess their teaching..

Do my students understand what I am teaching??

Is this a good lesson?

Am I teaching the information properly?

It is truly a process of collecting data of the student progress. The teacher collects the data using tools to measure it, Interprets that data, and then makes judgements on it. The process helps the teacher meet the needs of their students and allows them to give feedback.

TOOLS! the tools used to collect this information MUST be:

Valid

Reliable

Fair

Cost efficient

There are types of assessments.. When i filled out my concept map I thought i was on track, but i do not know why I did not think about the most obvious answer. The answer is the types of assessment that we have been working with since the day we started our education program... Diagnostic- this allows you to ask questions an assess whether the student has prior knowledge of t he concepts.  The students can brain storn, create graphic organizers and so much more. It really gives the teacher concrete evidence of this diagnostic information. Formative- this is the assessment you get throughout the lesson. whether it be a worksheet, discussions, a game. Last is the Summative assessment which is where you get to assess what the students learned it also provides feedback of how you did with teaching. You can do this by having your student create something... construct something.. its your choice! have fun!

Authentic assessment

THIS IS NOT a punishment for the students which a test may feel like... and it is not just grading

It is a multiimensional, task oriented way to assess your students.

HMMMMM WHAT CAN WE ASSESS YOU ASK!!!

well we can assess the students

 Readiness - this provides us with the information of whether they have the skills and contecnt knowledge to move on.

Interests - using interest surverys and interest centers provides the teacher with the information of the student is. This way they can make the lessons more exciting for the student.

Learning Profile- This is your student all around, their strengths and weaknesses, work preferences, and their self awareness.
