Evaluation methods

Reflection on Teaching and Student Learning Each day I collected data from the class and students A and B. This data allowed me to adjust my lessons to better fit the needs of the class. My original goal was broad in my lessons for students to be able to answer the essential questions from the focus wall. I had general knowledge of how to teach the content from teaching previous reading lessons over different subjects. From teaching these lessons I had a preview of how this unit would go. I had…

that technology comes with glitches and can fail at points in time. This means that technology cannot always be relied on to assess student learning. Teachers cannot always rely on technology tools to facilitate assessments. Teachers must use other methods to assess their students being that technology resources might not always be available for the students to…

rely on formative assessments using a “show of hands”. This may give the teacher an idea of how many students feel comfortable with a topic, but it does not provide insight to how much they know(Herr, et al, . Another popular method is the use of whiteboards. This is a method that I used to use myself. Again, there were many problems that I faced. First, was the distribution of markers, whiteboards and erasers. Then using more class time to replace any markers that had dried up. Next came…

Reflecting on experiences may assist in understanding and learning from those experiences. In an academic setting, feedback received on graded assignments may promote the leveraging of strengths, as well as closing any perceived gaps in performance. Therefore, a look back at the case studies and feedback received should provide the opportunity for additional growth and development. Additionally, the strengths and gaps in performance will be discussed using the theoretical framework of…

Aimsweb Assessment Summary Aimsweb was started by Pearson as a place to store DIBELS data and developed into something more over time. Now it is used as a curriculum based measurement tool for universal screening, progress monitoring, and data collection that aids RtI. The system measures students’ math and reading skill sets as well as provides a subjective way to score students’ writing. It can be used for children K-12 as a way to identify those at risk for academic failure and to monitor…

this practice not been enforced yet? Many individuals, including myself, prior to reading the text, simply do not know exactly what the evaluation hierarchy entails, which is quite troublesome considering how simple it is. In order to improve the current situation and better inform policymakers, practitioners, and even researchers, certain essentials of the evaluation research can be taught or acquired. According to a number of scholarly articles, a number of strategies can be used, in even the…

The skills that individuals should meet is based on the RICS Quantity surveying and construction pathway guide. As a Quantity Surveyor individuals cover 3 sorts of skills: Mandatory, Core and Optional. The mandatory competencies covers regular themes canvassed in all the pathways accessible under the RICS. This implies it will cover individual, interpersonal, expert and business practices. The core competencies covers points that are particular to the individuals’ field, this implies that they…

range of years the number of years they have been teaching. In addition, they will be asked to declare the discipline area in which they teach. This TTQ has been validated (Lowther & Ross, 2000; Sterbinsky & Burke, 2004) and used in research and evaluation (Corbeil & Valdes-Corbeil, 2007; Grant et al., 2005; Lowther et al., 2008). The TTQ was also tested for reliability through a trial incorporating 4,863 teacher participants. These participants had completed the questionnaire beforehand as a…

The backward design is an essential component in the planning and implementation of my 70 minute year 6 History lesson in the Humanities and Social Science component of the Australian Curriculum. The backward design has been used to obtain the desired results, objectives and learning outcomes. This essay will demonstrate how the three stages of the backward design have shaped my lesson plan. The desired results, are used in conjunction with the ABCD model. Evidence of assessment, incorporates…
