Week one assessment: throughout the first week of ELEC 316, I have already learned so much new information about assessments and the means in which we assess children. I have also learned ways in which to translate these assessments to my future classroom. I especially got to learn a lot about norm- referenced testing since I had this assessment for the jigsaw puzzle. I learned that norm- referenced tests are standardized tests like the PSSA and SAT, and that test takers scores are compared to the "norming" group. I feel that all the class discussions have really helped me to learn because I have heard so many unique perspectives. Also, the creating a rubric project helped me to get creative and brainstorm like a teacher would. Also, I learned the differences between assessment, measurement, and evaluation.
I would like to use assessment in my classroom in many different ways. Not all students learn the same way, so one assessment type will not work for everyone. I love the informal assessments and how low- stakes, and low- stress they are because many kids have test anxiety. I strongly believe in project based learning as well as group work and in- class assignments. When formal assignments are necessary, I want to involve families in their child's learning. Providing lots of assessment types is my plan!
