    Focus student one showed a 70% accuracy when asked to identify and sort pictures of objects into conceptual categories, a 59% accuracy when asked to identify and match all upper and lower case letter with prompting, and a 75% accuracy when asked to retell the main ideas or important facts from a read aloud. Based on these scores, I plan to raise the accuracy percentage goal for identifying and sorting colors, maintain the percentage accuracy goal for identifying upper and lower case letters, and raise the accuracy percentage goal for retelling main ideas or important facts.

    Post 1:Principles for Fair Student Assessment Practices for Education in Canada "Assessment methods should be suited to the backgrounds and prior experiences of students. Assessment methods should be free from bias brought about by student factors extraneous to the purpose of the assessment. Possible factors to consider include culture, developmental stage, ethnicity, gender, socio-economic background, language, special interests, and special needs. Students' success in answering questions on a test or in an oral quiz, for example, should not be dependent upon prior cultural knowledge, such as understanding an allusion to a cultural tradition or value, unless such knowledge falls 5 within the content domain being assessed. All students should be given the same opportunity to display their strengths" All that I…

For example, in Agatha Christy’s “The Blue Geranium” and Jacquez Futrelle’s “The Problem of Cell 13” both show characters being misled by the clues left behind. “The Blue Geranium” shows us how clues can be placed to lead you away from the true criminal.…
