Even though my cohorts teach a range of ages and subjects, it is nice to see how similar our units are in terms of how we evaluate and what we consider important.
Gerald pointed out that pre and post tests are the best way to show that learning occurred. I completely agree with this and its effectiveness. Though I would like to have strictly performance assessments, these lack the ability to see exactly how much learning happened. I am excited to see how much students gained with the post-test. I always battle this question, should I be giving the same or slightly different post test for my second graders? Other points in this week’s question that brought new insight was thinking about how I can show my evidence. Is there some way to compile this information on a graph-- or just stick to taking pictures of the assignments? These are little details that I will figure out in the upcoming days. Ways I contributed to this week's topic was talking about my different forms of assessment. A few people commented on exit tickets and Kahoot by either agreeing they enjoy those forms or asking more questions about how I use them. Passing on tools and strategies is the best way to improve any teaching practice, so I am always happy when I learn from others and pass on that knowledge.
