Reflection On How Was Student Achievement Of The Clo-Monitored

How was student achievement of the CLO monitored?

Student achievement of the CLO was monitored through the use of multiple types of formative and summative assessments. Pre-assessments were used as a way of finding out how much my students knew about the unit we were teaching when they were first being introduced to a new unit or topic. The pre-assessment was made up of varied levels of questions that would be used on a summative assessment at the end of unit. This was helpful because it allowed me to monitor how much progress was made towards the CLO. In every lesson students are asked various levels of Blooms type questions to check for their understanding of the CLO for not only the unit but also more specifically that day. All of the

For instance if Monique was to turn in a test that had very poorly written answers I would take a pen and start critiquing her writing with very specific comments about how she could have improved her writing. With her this is the best way to get her to respond to the feedback and improving her writing at the same time. She had requested this type of immediate feedback early on in the year. With her she also wants to be corrected immediately when she is speaking if she is struggling with structure or doesn’t quite understand how to phrase her answers. But most of my student I make small corrections in the margins and ask them to add details to their answers. I do not give them the answer in my comments to them because I allow them to do test corrections in order to gain some of their points back on the exam. Test corrections are done where they have to write the correct answer to each question three times in a complete sentence and they are able to get up to half their points …show more content…
By conducting Check for understandings throughout each lesson I was able to guide discussions around homeostasis based on what my students were interested in learning more about. Exit tickets were used each day in order to assess whether or not my students accessed the information I had planned for that activity. Then I would rephrase the question and ask it the next lesson as a Do Now. The end of unit assessment students are expected to do the test corrections because Biology builds on prior concepts and if they are not understanding the information from the previous unit it will set them up for failure in the next unit. I have found that implementing test correction has greatly reduced the confusion moving into future units. Also if I notice that students are struggling with a specific concept then we will revisit that concept before moving on, because otherwise moving forward will confuse my students and I will have to reteach all the new material as

    For example will assessment be initial/pre course, formative, summative or based on recognised prior learning. The assessor will need to decide the methods or activities to be used for assessment such as observations, performance evidence, discussion or witness/learner statement. How knowledge and understanding is going to be assessed also needs careful thought and could include tests, multiple choice questions, written assignment/task, a reflective journal, verbal questioning or naturally occurring evidence, all of which need to be fit for purpose and relate to the learner’s specific needs. Further considerations for assessment planning are to determine who will be assessing the learning/learner and how progress will be monitored and reviewed following feedback. 3.2 Evaluate the benefits of using a holistic approach to…

    Pop Quizzes Are Unfair

    Pop quizzes have always been a dreaded possibility for students. Recently, in writing class, a pop quiz was handed out and many students failed. The point now in question is whether the grade should be put into the gradebook to be held against the class. Through the evidence provided here, it will be undeniable that the grade should not be put in the gradebook. Due to the fact that students were not given time to look over the material on their own, and even the most hard-working students’ grades will be skewed from a quiz in which very few students were able to get a C, is evidence to show the grade should not be counted against the class.…

    On two seperate occassions this past week mistakes were made during lessons. I made a mistake on an assessment paper and copied the wrong side of the quiz and Mrs. Doss made a mistake and copied the wrong set of words for the entire class during word study. It really helped having 2 people in the classroom so new copies could be made and brought in ASAP. We were both able to laugh about it later in the day and realized we both were having a rough morning. I know that in a normal classroom you wont always have 2 people or a teachers aide to be able to fix mistakes.…
