Week 6

 For our 6th week of class we were doing our assessment project with our groups. This was a really fun assignment. We were able to see the best tools that are available to teachers to be able to assess students. Making our video was fun and we were able to actually do the assignments that were in our kit and try them on ourselves. This gave us a chance to see it from both the teacher side and the student side. We are also able to let the parents of the child we asses know how they have done and what  they could possible do with them. This also brought me back to my childhood when I had to do this a couple of times. When I was doing it then I obviously didn't understand the point of it but now I know why I needed to do it and why it was important form my teachers to know what i'm best at ad what I may need to work on. I would recommend ERDA which is the assessment plan we used to anyone. I think it is useful tool that can be used foe any student for any reason.

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 reflec...

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.
