The assessor will write comprehension questions to ask Kayla at the conclusion of each chapter. Also, while reading leveled texts, the assessor will request that Kayla retell the story at the end of the…
The assessment helps the assessor to have deeper understand the ways in which they support student 's literacy development (Wilde, 2000). The method to gather the evidence of students ' learning is appropriate. Observation, other 's feedback and child 's written work are used in the lesson plan for assessment to analyse children 's development level, which are useful to notice the type of miscues the students are making (Brown, 2001). It can also help the teacher to analyse the effectiveness of the lesson…
I chose to use the SENA1 assessment for my student, whom I will refer to as E, because he is in first grade. He is receiving extra help in math and is making great progress. He is also very young for his grade being as his birthday falls in August. E is very excited to work on homework with me, however, he is often looking to know if he right or wrong. Because of this, I recorded the assessment.…
Assignment Questions 1. List three things you learned about assessment and measurement in the context of the video discussions. First and foremost, properly conceived assessment is an essential aspect of education. The educational review process and all associated components should be routinely examined to ensure quality as well as make improvements. Because learning is a very complex endeavor, it is important to create measurement instruments that are sufficiently comprehensive and applicable (Gronlund, 2013).…
S’niya, a fourth-grade student at Miramar Elementary School, was given four assessments from a Scholastic resource packet that helps to determine what level of reading a student is currently achieving. The Scholastic resource assessments allow a teacher to establish an idea of the student’s reading proficiency and also helps to conclude what sort of instructional plan would best suit the needs of each individual student. With the Clinical Educator’s discretion, S’niya was assigned to complete a third-grade phonics and vocabulary assessment, and a fourth-grade phonics and vocabulary assessment. Based on past test scores, the teacher speculated that was a possibility that S’niya was not working on par with her grade level.…
3. What type of assessment is it (e.g. screening, criterion referenced, norm referenced, standardised interview, clinical observation, self-report, checklist etc)? RBMT-3 A series of studies were subsequently undertaken to evaluate the properties of the test when used in clinical memory assessment of older adults. Results supported the use of the RBMT as both screening and diagnostic tool. (GLASS, 2000).…
Research has shown that schools are actively seeking ways to better educate 21st century students and boost school performance. However, this cannot be accomplished without the support and service of faculty and staff. Strategies, as the skills listed keep emphasizing, will work if created within a learning community/organization. Demonstrating the skills in FELE Competency 1-02 will foster genuine learning opportunities for both faculty/staff and students. Genuine because faculty/staff will be challenged to tap into their inner potentials and resources.…
Analysis of Running Records The names below are the names of the students that I have assessed by performing running records according to their instructional reading level. Kelly, Lilly, Roxanne, and Andres are reading below grade level, they are English Language Learners and they are in an all English instruction classroom. For all four students, I used reading assessments from the McGraw-Hill Website which provided me reading passages with two questions at the end to check for comprehension. Since my students are reading at different reading levels, I had to provide them with different reading passages based on their reading levels, I used a total of two different passages since I have two students reading at first grade level, and the…
The evolution in mammals have passed through many stages since their synapsid ancestors first appearance in Carnivorous period between 320 to 315 years ago All mammals are related deeply in their bones and today’s mammals are one of the mammal lineages that survived. Scientific evidence suggests that Otters have been on Earth from the past 23 million years and present day’s Otter evolved about 7 millions years ago. Otters have gone through many adaptations and scientists believe that Otters were once only land animals but they moved into water to save themselves from predators and to get away from what was happening around them. Experts also believe that limited resources on land could be another reason which moved them into waters for…
The following week with my case study student, I administered an informal oral comprehension assessment, by reading him the book, The Mysterious Tadpole by Steven Kellogg. I first showed him the book and asked him to identify what the title of the book was and who wrote the book. Based of the title and the illustration on the cover page, I asked my student to make a prediction based on the provided information. Considering the basics of the book that he was given, his prediction about the tadpole becoming too large was correct. Before I read the book, I did notify him that I will be asking comprehension questions at the end, this let him prepare himself to actively listen and remember what occurred during the story.…
- Based on Focus Student 1’s specific learning needs I will modify this by breaking the test down into sections. I will read the directions to the student and then they will complete one section at a time. Once he gets to a different section I will read the instructions to him. He understands directions when they are broken down and not given all at once. Focus Student 2 learning needs reflects low level writing skills and staying on topic.…
1. Identify the issue involved. - The issue involved is that the polar bears cannot find a place to live due to the climate change and the change in climate causing the ice to melt. 2.…
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…
Doug Inkley, a senior scientist at the National Wildlife Federation provides information about polar bears and the effects global warming has on their species. He discusses that their primary food source is seals through the breathing holes and with a lack of ice polar bears are losing weight. In late October, Doug captured footage of the polar bears on ice because the ice hasn't melted yet. Additionally, he claims that by 2050 2/3rd of polar bears will be gone. This video addresses polar bears invisible enemy, global warming.…
The students will also be assessed by their ability to make an inference while reading their independent reading book. During Daily Five, the students will be asked to make an inferce as they read. This form of assessment will help me recognize the students that have a true understanding of this skill and are able to use the skill independently. I plan to use the results of this assessment to tailor my future lesson. If I notice during the turn and talk that not a lot of students understand the skill, I know that I will need to continue modeling my thinking when making an inference.…
