Summary: This chapter focused on types of assessment and how you can use the data from these assessments to help improve student learning. The chapter also focuses on formative assessment which has several definitions, but the one that stuck out to me “is the process of gathering evidence of student learning.”
Formative assessment is great way for teachers to have ongoing strategy for assessing their students. The teachers can use that assessment in order to give needed and detailed feedback to their students. The books also outlines several informal assessment, such as facial expressions, body language, and speed and tone in which students read. These informal assessment are also great tool for teachers to use to further student learning. The chapter outsides outlines …show more content…

Will this type of assessment work in all subjects? Regarding the subject of body and facial language, how can you use these techniques on children who have special needs such as those with autism?

Connections: Today in my Math 212 Math for Elementary School Teacher we had Michelle Daml from the curriculum department at the FNSB School district, come talk to us about math strategies. One of the new curriculum they are using is called Number Sense. When I was reading about the strategies in our textbook, one of the key points she was making was also made in the book. The point was giving students enough time to give responses. She says this is big issues especially when teaching math. Children will usually think of several strategies to solve a problem so they need that time to work it out in their heads. Silence can be a good think in the classroom especially if students are using that time to think and solve a

In the Chapter One, Henry A. Rosso cites Hank’s explanation of the “fundraising is the servant of philanthropy” that “It is justified when it is used as a responsible invitation guiding contributors to make the kind of gift that will meet their own special needs and add greater meaning to their lives” (p.5). Also, Hank’s said “Fundraising is not an end in itself” (p.4). A fundraiser has to figure out the organization’s mission and design a fundraising mission. Next, the fundraiser can reach the correct potential donors and help them to donate the gift efficiently. An excellent fundraising can fulfill the organization’s mission; meanwhile, it may lead the donors to make a wisely decision.

A main part of Chapter 1 which seemed quite unbelievable was how the Jews didn't act upon the news of the Germans whatsoever. In the span of Chapter 1, the Jewish community in Sighet received news about the Germans passing the Hungarian border with ease. They did not worry about it. An event occurred in which all foreign Jews (including Moishe the Beadle) were expelled from Sighet. Although the Sighet citizens were concerned at first, they just ignored.

Since the dawn of time, man has always pondered whether women were equal to men. Questions about women’s physical and mental abilities have come up in every society and although every outcome is not the same, the general consensus was that women were the inferior gender.

). By showing them passion and being enthusiastic I would motivate them to achieve their targets. Wallace (2006), states that if outcomes are not achieved by students the lesson is not achieving the primary purpose. This is why assessing plays a significant role in the learning process. Formative assessment gives feedback about the learners’ progress through the course and a summative assessment is carried out at the end of the course and this is a formal way to check if the learner has met the outcomes of the course (Gravells 2014).

As chapter two discusses perennialism and how it is still present in our schools, I can relate it to how classrooms are set up as a lecture style setting. Teaching is based primarily on the Socratic method: oral exposition, lecture, and explication. Here is one curriculum for all students, with little room for elective subjects or vocational or technical subject matter (Ornstein and Hunkins text, p. 34). Essentialism within the schools still stand today with the demand to raise academic standards and changing standards (Ornstein and Hunkins, 2017, p. 36). An example is the No Child Left Behind (NCLB).

In Chapter 6 and 7, students learn how to preform operations with rational exponents and with inverse, exponential, and logarithmic functions. Rational, or fractional, exponents are powers where a base of a is manipulated by nth roots. For example, when n is equal to 2 or 3, an equation is referred to as a square root or a cube root respectively. In a square root, the radical’s answer must evaluate to a when multiplied by itself. Similarly, in the root of a cube an answer multiplied by itself twice must equal a Rational exponents can be written in either exponential form and as a fraction as in (am/n) or in the radical form (n √am ).

Matthew begins immediately in chapter 1 presenting Jesus Christ as the King and Messiah that the Jews had long been awaiting. They had been in exile and dispersed, and were under the rule of the Roman empire. They had experienced 400 years of silence since they had received any open revelation from God. It was a desperate time as they awaited the deliverer, the Messiah, the promised king of the O.T. prophesies. Many had come to the place of hopelessness, while others still faithfully prayed for this savior to come.

The whole point in assessments is to collect data in order to guide your lesson. This can tell a teacher whether or not to keep expanding on a topic or move on. This also informs the teacher the academic achievement level of students—if they are advanced, satisfactory or if they need improvement. With this information, a teacher should be able to customize the lesson to fit the student’s diverse needs. This information is not only helpful to teachers but to students as well.

I incorporate this learned experience daily and learn through each success and discovered area of improvement. Addressing my students needs using a variety of assessment tools has been a beneficial practice to help guide instruction.

Utilizing formative, standards(goal)-based, anecdotal, observational and benchmarks has driven my instructional programs. The combination of different assessments provides me with a multi-dynamic perspective of my students allowing me to better understand their strengths, weakness and academic needs.

Typically, young children especially those in primary schools simply do not learn what they are taught unless there is reinforcement. Assessment is used by educators so often to link their teaching to students’ learning (William, 2013). However, if it is done without any sort of feedback, it might not be useful at all. Teachers assess with the purpose of acknowledging strengths and weaknesses in a child in order to formally or informally instruct the child making room for improvement (Mikre, 2010). It is also important for it informs individual learning achievements to students themselves, their parents and education institutes.
