Week 1- Reflection

     

        This week we talked about different types of assessments and rubrics.  

In my future classroom, I want to try to use all of these things to help better my teaching. 

    For example, I would you informal assessment in the classroom to check for understanding because that is very important in the classroom, I want to make sure that I am getting the content across to my students. Also, I am going to use formal assessment because it compares students performance and effectiveness in the program but mostly because formal assessment is state testing.

 What is informal assessment?                                                    

• useful for teacher planning
• It is something that is tested but not usually graded to help test students understanding
• Such as Portfolios and Classroom activities

What is formal assessment? 

• standardized testing
• it compares performance of the students 
• it compares effectiveness of the program
• It is something that is tested and the data is collected to test what the students know, it is usually high stakes

Another example of using the skills this week that I want to use in my future classroom is rubrics.  I would use them to help organize the objectives on the project or activity that I was trying to teach the students Using rubic both analytic and holistic are very beneficial to the students and the teacher because it helps the teacher know what the base line grade is so everyone can get the same grade and it helps the students know what the teacher is looking for.
