Reeflection # 7 and #8

Week 7 and 8 were very important in my opinion. Lots of information I will be able to use in my future classroom. Starting with week 7 we started talking about statistical concepts. After we went through the statistical concepts we then moved onto talking about the differences between population, sample, and norming. What I learned about each is population is the entire group, sample is the people you are actually testing, and norming is when you figure out what the normal is for the test scores.

For week 8 we got to see how to collect our student data in excel so that it is less work for me as the teacher and it will be easy for me to do and send out progress to the families.:)))

Reflection #1

During the first week of this class we focused a lot on the different types of assessments. I did not know there were different ones before this class. I thought all assessments were just the big tests like the PSSA and the Keystone. We not only focused on what the types were but why we use assessments. As I mentioned before I thought they were just those big tests but now I know they are much more and they are so important. They are very helpful for both the student and the teacher. The assessments help us be able to know where to place them on the curriculum or for the next grade. The kids get so much out of them since they will be getting the proper help they need since we would be able to get a good idea of what they needed by assessing them. My plan is to be a special education teacher and I will be using both the formal and informal assessments all the time to make sure I am giving the students everything they need from me to help them learn and get good grades. Also since I...

Week 4 reflection

Blooms Taxonomy and DOK Blooms Taxonomy is what we learned first so it is what I got use to in the beginning. We learned that these are the verbs you use in your objectives for lesson plans. The Blooms Taxonomy is more straight forward I think since it is easily identifies by the verbs you use that go with the level of the triangle. DOK is more about what you know and how well you know it. I for sure plan on using the Blooms Taxonomy in my future instruction. I think it makes the objectives make more sense and I even understand them better. DOK is something I might use when asking children questions but as for my lesson plans I see myself more using the Blooms Taxonomy more.

Week 3

This week I learned about the different documentation, why we use documentation, and how we use them. Documentation is in many different forms such as, photographs, notes from the teacher, transcript of child's conversations, artwork, drawings, or graphs. There are so many things you can do with these documentations as well. You can put them into a portfolio, make a digital folder and make a bullion board. Where I work now we have to keep a portfolio of all the kids in our rooms so that when their IEP meetings come up we can bring them there with us and have some work to show the parents. I love having the documentation for when parents are getting the wrong information from their child and we can show them exactly what happened.
