Notes:

assessment is any time of life personal or professional is having a goal or objective.

How can I complete that goal, whether it is formative or summative

SMART Goals

working of educator rubric (6 standards)

multiple rubrics because helps keep objective and tied to actual standards and meaning

Don't just pick up a rubric from someone else

CREATE YOUR OWN!!

Keep end in mind and the process to get there

not a massive amount of HW, formative assessment to identify curriculum. IN Class, try not to grade at home

Assessment is necessary

tool that determines what they know and what needed next

not how smart, just a teacher guidance

Hands on, fast, simple

Look at standard, hands on tool kit, show me....

Have the students get supplies

One month, practicing routine!

First year (hard) need to have a work life balance

Set boundaries, have a planning day for the next week, work ahead but not too far

TEAM working

be nice to secretor and custodian

Listen to team and co-workers

Take a risk, try something, if you think your kids could do it but don't re-invent the wheel everyday

Background:

3rd grade Olathe District

KSU Alumni

Notes:

Make Observations is the biggest thing a teacher can do

day-to-day of what you notice

go too assessments are small group work!!

every level of students can have your time

good students don't always get time with teachers... Need CONNECTION

Can see what they need to do and help them move one with small group

challenge bright students

notice signals on face when they don't understand and they take more risk in small groups

Be a Team, divide and conquer, find your strengths

Use the leaders in your classroom, have the friend help show them differently

take the time to make relationships with everyone

5th grade teacher at Washington Elementary

8th grade science 10 years at middle School level

assistent Principal

Notes:

assessment is can students apply the knowledge

not always "how" they show it

it is okay to not see the results you expected when you assess them

give students an opportunity to show what they know

give many opportunities of assessment not just a final

go slow to start with

goal is to take little by little and do the best you can!!

smallest thing to do to make the biggest impact

# data[].attributes.body
Background:

special services 5 years

10 years school psychology

total 15 (Olathe)

Notes:

assessment is estimation of the quality or nature of something

snapshot of kids ability in that state

not end all be all, piece of information

prediction of success, interpretation

MTSS assessments are the first, see the intervention, general ed, formal, day to day exit tickets, quizzes

cognitive assessments "Whisk" underlying issues

have a process in all team members on the same page

have a framework that is consistent

respect your impact!! look to you to form relationships

1. What did you notice about their ADVICE?

They have been in the program for multiple years and they have had a different perspective. I noticed they all said something different and different things work best for them! No right one way.

2. What are the strategies that you hear most often?

To collaborate with TEAM teachers, make connections with your peers as well as students!

3. What lessons will you add to your toolbox from listening to these mentors?

To not make it complicated, focus on observations for assessment which means less take home grading and just as effective.

4. Which Mentor did you connect with? Explain why!

I really enjoyed Marsha Reeves because she has taught Kindergarten for 27 years and seems like she just started with energy. She also works in Olathe which is a new interest of mine.

5. What surprised you about any of the Mentors?

I think something so cool about teaching is just looking at their mannerisms you would think they are "normal" and just present but in reality they are an expert in their occupation and constantly assessing with ease.

6. What are 5 of the suggested books/podcasts you are drawn to? Why?

1. Out of my mind (book)how to not assume, focused on ability and getting to know students

2. Represent all students in books- read aloud, months

3. Despite the best intentions (book)- ADD, disabilities, how to help them

4. Twitter and other social media- see teachers in other classrooms for future

5. Constantly look for new things- self-help books, podcasts, TED talks

7. What are one or two questions you would like to pose to a Mentor Educator?

What if it feels like I am not teaching effectively? How do I find what is best for me and not compare in a negative way to other teachers?
