SUNDAY/MONDAY of Week 4: Web crossing assignment
Same type of assignment as previous weeks, but this week, select a lesson
that included giving your students a preassessment.
Pick a lesson for which you wish you had made the preassessment a bit more
specifically related to what you hoped your students would eventually know
and be able to do, so that you could have had a clearer sense of what you
needed to teach to get them there. Redesign the preassessment part of the
lesson in such a way that:
-
it would help you better assess your students current understandings
of skills or knowledge related to the EALRs and your specific content area
goals
-
it would be easier to replicate at the end of your teaching
so that you could form a before-and- after picture of your "positive
impact on student learning" for individual students.
If you weren’t happy with the preassessment in your EALR’s
project,.you may want to rework that lesson, since you have a clear picture
of what you taught (and what you wish you had known about your students’
specific skills and knowledge before you planned your lessons), and how you
chose to assess the students at the end of your teaching (post or summative
assessment).
