UoS Libby
One thing I wrote about in my reflection of the UoS was my use of assessment. At the beginning of the year I did not do much assessment, instead I just sped along and went through each session assuming all students understood. Once I started diving deeper into the UoS, I realized the importance of assessment. I started creating small formative assessments that I could use at the end of each mini-lesson. I believe this affected my teaching style because I started learning how to modify lessons based on student results. It affected student learning because they were able to show what they know and I could focus on the areas that needed further instruction. As I have started my second unit, I have really been focusing on assessment. If even two-three students do not understand something we will go back and cover the topic again. This is something I plan to do for the rest of my teaching career. I am glad I have had the opportunity to observe the benefits of observation within the UoS.

Libby,
ReplyDeleteI agree having some sort of assessment or quick exit ticket with students about a lesson is a great way to modify future lessons to make sure every student is understanding what you are teaching. I also focused on my pre and post assessments for the project and found it extremely helpful in my thought process and planning for each lesson.
