Week 1 Reflection

Sophia DeVito Blog Post 1:

   My first week in Dev formal and informal assessments I feel like I have learned a lot. Not only do I know that I have learned new material, I enjoy going to the class Monday, Wednesday, and Friday. I love going and knowing I'm leaving with knowledge that will really help me when I become a teacher one day. I'm going to talk about just some of the things I learned from week one and I will use them later in life. 

what one  of the main things we talked about was assessment. Assessment is super important, my definition of it would be that assessment is observing, recording in any way and documenting the work that children do throughout the day. It's about gathering all the information you can and being able to really understand how a child is doing in that class. Another way to assess a child is called sampling, you just take different samples of the students work as opposed to just using that whole worksheet. 

one thing that we reflected on a lot was why we assess our students. our class shared many different answers but the ones that stood out the most were, to monitor students development, to guide planning and decision making, and lastly to see which children would benefit the most from special services.

    Hi Sophia! I really enjoyed reading your reflection. I love that you touched on the main ideas covered during week one and shared why assessment is important to you. I also agree that ELEC 316 offers a wealth of knowledge for us as future teachers. Thanks for sharing! :)

    I love the concluding statement to your post, as to why we assess students. Prior to this course, my perspective on assessments was limited to that as a student, but with the new content I've been provided this past week, I now have a better understanding and appreciation for them. Great post!

week 2 Reflection

For my second week in dev formal/ informal I really enjoyed this week a lot. I love working with the people in my class and being able to use what we all learned and put it all together. I feel like I learn things from them as well. we talked a lot about rubrics, checklist, and rating scales. I think I only every really knew a lot about rubies and less about all the other stuff. so it was nice to learn about those as well. Another thing that I really like is that we get to discuss things with the people around us. I think it makes a difference when you get to hear everyone's opinions and there take on the different topics. I know for me at least I take in what everyone says and even write it in my notes so that I remember it. the picture I put below if from my notes. I write down everything I can and what I think will help me to better understand what something means and what I think I will use throughout my teacher career.
