· What new assessment practices will you use in
your classroom?
Some of the assessment practices I look forward to implementing in
the classroom include filling out a chart that provides an overview of their word
knowledge, fluency, language, comprehension, writing, motivation and interest.
Working with former teachers to obtain students past reading records and
performance can be a great reference tool. Also have students write words that
they should know by providing photos as a reference or saying words out loud
(spelling test).
· In what ways do you plan to use the results of
your assessments?
These assessments give a glimpse of how students will perform
within the classroom. As a teacher, it is important that you take the results
to create lesson plans that tackle areas of problems. In addition, teachers can
utilize these assessments to split students into various learning levels to
focus more on problematic areas through specialized assignments.
· What assessment practices do you want to know
more about?
One of the assessment practices I wish to learn more about is anecdote
records and seeing how students make connections, their behavior and how they react
during their reading and what their thought process is like when they are
reading. This allows teachers to essentially get into the mind frame of
students and find ways they can avoid students making errors.
· What are the challenges you still face in
assessing and recording student achievement and progress in reading and
writing?
Depending on
the students age, many students guess word based on photos or what they’ve
learned from prior sentences. For instances, during a running record, I’ve
noticed students struggle with reading and guessing words because they weren’t familiar
instead of sounding it out.
