My Assessment Literacy
I had the opportunity to rate my current level of understanding and proficiency against each of the five elements of Australian Institute for Teaching and School Leadership (AITSL). I believe that I need to practice more on all the five elements, with a greater emphasis on Standard 5.5. According to this standard, as a graduate teacher, I should be able to maintain accurate and reliable records of students’ achievement and use effective strategies in reporting them to the students and their parents/carers (AITSL, Standard 5.5, 2014).
Teachers use formative assessment in this on-going work to monitor and improve students’ progress and they have the responsibility to undertake summative assessment, so that they could report to their parents/carers; as the students move from the current to the next year level to new teachers, they also create end-of-year reports (10, p.11). Techers should report the test results back to students in such a way that it provide guidance for them to identify their own …show more content…

However, as I get involved into summative assessments, I should practice creating reports. During my practical placements, I plan to gain further insight into this aspect by discussing about my intention of improving my skills in report writing, with my mentor teacher. I would like to go through a variety of reports on different learning areas from my mentor teacher, and start gathering resources pertaining to report writing. I would take effort to write some reports with comments as a practice, ensuring that it is embedded with proper evidence to support my views (Readman, p.157). As I have insufficient experience in report writing, io would like to utilise databanks of reporting statements, if they are available in the school (Readman,

The Mora High School cafeteria is a very familiar place to me, with it’s columns in the middle of the room, the off-white paint, and white and blue tiled floor. The cafeteria is usually a place full of a lot of kids and incredible amounts of noise. It’s nearly empty except for the four tables placed in the formation of a square near the little nook where the lunch ladies serve us food, or at least what tries to pass as food. The seats around each table are occupied by the cast of Annie celebrating the completion of their second show. The cast of Annie doesn’t even come close to filling the cafeteria, but the noise level could nearly be the same as when it’s fully filled during lunch.

Time seemed to have stood still from all the way up there. The wobbling platform on which I was standing couldn’t have been more than a foot in diameter. Looking down, the blurred images of my peers were all that I could see. I should have been frightened out of my mind, but strangely I wasn’t. I had conquered the 25-foot climb up the telephone pole, and although I was wearing a harness, the feeling was nothing less than exhilarating.

A completely blank evaluation sheet: I was furious. The coach didn’t even give me a chance. I was given the blind eye, the cold shoulder. I left everything out on the court and it was like I never showed up. The next day I returned with my blank paper in my hand.

The two most common forms of assessment are formative and summative assessment but there are many different shapes this assessment can take. As many forms as possible (visual, technology-based, written in a variety of ways) should be incorporated into the classroom to allow teachers to form an accurate representation of the children’s learning and continue to teach them in the best possible manner. 5.2 Provide feedback on children’s learning While assessment shapes the children’s learning and teachers’ teaching experiences under the curriculum, children and families have no way of knowing their own development and progress without feedback on the part of the teacher. The appropriate and timely feedback about their child learning and development information supplied to parents/families, gives parents the

Suskie (2009) suggests that assessment reports should keep short and simple. For faculty, the last part of this plan includes a summary of academic assessment for each program and course. This could be more informative, since effective assessment plan provides faculty and staff with guidance on their assessment (Suskie, 2009). Additionally, the assessment goal is not clear enough. Walvood (2010) indicates that the learning goals should be “live” (p. 31).

ANALYSE THE EFFECTIVENESS OF ASSESSMENT METHODS IN RELATION TO MEETING THE INDIVIDUAL NEEDS OF LEARNERS. UNIT 2, 6.2 Race, P. (2009) says “we need a richer mix of high-quality assessment formats, and we also need to decrease the overall burden of assessment for ourselves and for our students. We need to measure less, but measure it better.' Using a variety of assessment methods gives students more scope to demonstrate their knowledge and skills across a range of contexts. By adopting a wider catalogue of assessments I can also help support students who may for one reason or another be underprivileged by the extensive use of particular assessment formats.

For me, what I learned doesn 't necessarily come from the book or the actually content of the course, but rather from the individual exercises and writings. I 've learned more about myself than I was expecting. Granted, I have learned the content, but to me it 's more of a refresher with a few new terms and explanations, than learning a whole new subject. As I said, my biggest takeaway is what I 've learned about myself.

I had begun the first grade that September after arriving to the U.S.; like any other new student I was nervous. I arrived in this country at just 5 almost 6 years old. During that summer, my cousins would sit with me for at least an hour going over the letters of the alphabet and numbers. My parents enrolled me in a Catholic school that provided only English instruction. Everything was still new to me.

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. Students have different learning styles and their strengths and weaknesses are not always apparent using the same methods of assessment. 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.
