“Reflect on your use of assessment in the
classroom. On a scale of 1 – 10, ten
being highest, how would you rate yourself.
What are your plans for becoming a “10” if you are not there already?
How are you using assessment in the classroom to guide your instruction? Describe how assessment results are used to
differentiate instruction within your class.”
I would rank myself an 8. My students complain there are too many test. I have shifted recent from largely multiple choice to a majority short answer. Its making them think and they don't like it. HAHA.
I use frequent weekly assessments as part of the district curriculum. These are mostly five question test. I do need to create larger tests in the future.
if you're 5 question quizzes cover the main ideas of what you taught that week, why do they need to have more points? Either they got "the big idea" or they didn't. If you keep them at 5 points then you know exactly where they got it and where they didn't. I would keep the 5 questions :)
ReplyDeleteKeep the short answer! It's good for them to think!
