Week 1 Reflection!


Week 1 Reflection!

 I learned a lot of valuable information throughout the first week of classes. The first week I learned about the Cycle of Assessment. The cycle consists of four different topics: Teaching, Gathering & Assessing Students' Work, Interpreting Evidence & Identifying Outcomes, and Reflecting for Change & to plan for improvement. This process is continuous throughout the school year & is never interrupted! Very important to know when you're a teacher or becoming one. This cycle outlines: The steps for how to assess your students' learning, the overall success of the students', and the curriculum.

Types of Assessments:

1. Formative Assessment   2. Diagnostic Assessment  3. Summative Assessment

1. Formative Assessments

ex: Exit Ticket

* Great way to document students' learning, check for understanding & emphasize main points in the lesson

* Straight forward focus on objective goals        * These new ideas & examples to asses the students will                                                              help me in my own Classroom!

* Clear expectations

 * Measures students' learning                                       

                                                                         2. Summative Assessments

                                           - See what standards & concepts your students                                                                                 have mastered.
                                          - Evaluated students' learning at the end of an
                                              instructional unit by comparing it against some standard or benchmark.

    The pictures within this post really help explain the difference between formative and summative assessments. The use of bolding to highly emphasize and bring focus to words and key points are such a smart choice and something I will think of adding to my next post! The bullet points make the post easier to read and it is overall a nice informative post!

    I really like how you set everything up on your page. I also learned a lot about these things.

Week 4 Reflection!

  This week in class, I learned about Bloom's taxonomy and DOK. Bloom's taxonomy is set up as a six level pyramid. This can be used to help you when planning a lesson or can serve as a teaching guide to teachers. The pyramid goes from the bottom up to the top, the levels are remember, understand, apply, analyze, evaluate, and create. Remembering level - Recall facts and basic concepts  Understanding level - Explain ideas or concepts Applying level -  Use information in new situations Analyzing level - Draw connections among ideas  Evaluate level - Justify a stand or decision Create level - Produce new or original work  On  the other hand, the DOK is a wheel that has four levels: 1. Recalling - involves recalling information, such as a fact or term. 2. Skills/concepts - involves limited application of skills and concepts.  3. Strategic thinking - Deep understanding as exhibited through planning. 4. Extended thinking - Prolonged thinking to solve au...

Week 6

 We learned a lot in class throughout the week. On Monday, Ms. Lauren met with us via zoom, she gave us lots of wise thoughts or lessons for us to learn and to think about. On Wednesday for class, we were on zoom! During the zoom meeting, we broke out into zoom rooms in groups to complete an activity. We also discussed objectives and standards and how to create them in a lesson plan. I like how we didn't have any other class on that day, it was beneficial for me to have a break from classes. I also liked having the opportunity to meet Dr. Hye Ryung Won's cat. IT WAS SO CUTE!  Friday, we talked about how lesson planing contains observations and how they are used. This will be useful to me in my future for teaching and will help me with observing the children. I will also know how to change or alter a lesson from learning this lesson in class.

Week 2 Reflections!

This week in class, we went into more detail with rubrics, checklists, and rating scales. I also learned the importance of observation and how to make a rubric correctly. I learned that there are three different types of rubrics, holistic, single-point, and analytic. Making a rubric is a lot harder than I thought it would be. Holistic rubrics are the most general kind of rubrics that have 5 levels of performance. These rubrics do not provide targeted feedback to students but are easier for teachers to create. Single-Point rubrics break down components of an assignment into different criteria and there is less time to create. The areas and levels of concern and distinction are without specified limits. Analytic Rubrics separate their characteristics of an assignment into parts. This gives students a more clear picture as to why their assignment is what it is and the reason why they got the score that they did. This week we got the opportunity to create our own rubrics in a group, based ...
