Assess student learning:

2024-10-10 12:24:42 UTC

I work with them one on one so I have them tell me in their own words what I’ve been teaching them. I ask them next time we meet how they have been using what I taught them last time.

I often use writing to assess learning

Warm ups based on previous learning to assess retention of content

2024-10-10 12:25:34 UTC

Weekly grade checks. Individual student conferences. Seeing actual student work.

Presentation skills are a big part of displaying learning

Curiosity. Provide some time for open thinking…connections to current events.

Curiosity

2024-10-10 12:26:23 UTC

I encourage students to stay curious about themselves and their developing sense of self. I encourage that they challenge their own ideas about the world and have them explore where those ideas came from.

2024-10-10 12:26:46 UTC

I encourage students not to take information at face value, but to ask why.

In class discussion of texts is a good vehicle for encouraging curiosity, especially as students are able to ask question of one another

It is helpful when a student is curious, or at least interested in learning.

This is what I encourage the most with my students. The desire to explore the world is what makes education worthwhile.

I assess learning with drawing exercises and practice and different steps of the process. I will ask questions as we cover material to reinforce previous discussion/learnin.

Using labs hits both on curiosity and displaying of learning. Because they fundamentally require application of learning, as well as potentially unexpected results, they check both boxes of 2 and 3

This is key as a facilitator of learning. I am curious about my students’ thought processes and hope to inspire their curiosity.

In campus ministry, this comes mostly through reflection and then sharing, where students are comfortable doing that. Reflection in our case means individual discernment, small group sharing and then, at times, sharing within the large group.

2024-10-10 12:54:58 UTC

With check-ins, quizzes, integrative performance assessments
With their participation in pair and class discussions
Students are encouraged to ask questions about anything they are curious about

Curiosity: I always have students look at what other people do in art. We talk about how to be more observant in order to dig deeper.

Write and plan and adventure. Then write a creative story about the adventure

By asking questions and using do now assessments. Pre-assessment / post assessment

lydiasawchuk — 2024-10-10 13:18:48 UTC

Sometimes I can assess their understanding of a story/book just by having a quick interview. Other ways that I use are journal writing, exit slips, and formative assessments like a unit test.

Assessment

2024-10-10 13:19:01 UTC

In addition to more formal assessment, I will utilize short one or two question knowledge checks. Sometimes I will give these at the beginning of class and immediately adjust my instruction based on the results.

3.) Independent reading projects: students pick books and projects. The project encourages students to take ownership in their learning and find excitement and creativity in those ventures.

2024-10-10 13:19:19 UTC

I assess student learning with daily homework checks, weekly quizzes & unit tests. Also with daily feedback during lessons.

Curiosity plays a large role, a with any language, personal motivation is key. Curiosity about the language and cultures behind it can greatly increase students’ personal motivation

Display of learning

Answering out loud, writing a response to a question on the board (silent discussion), do now/exit ticket

Assessing Learning

Using pre and post “quizzes” assessing the main questions that were set at the beginning of the lesson/unit can help direct your understanding of how the kids are learning.

Curiosity

2024-10-10 13:43:03 UTC

Willingness and want to dive deeper is important in a process based class. Can’t memorize stuff.

2024-10-10 13:43:10 UTC

Warmup problems based on previously taught content, exit tickets, formal assessments

2024-10-10 13:43:17 UTC

Students demonstrated learning through discussion using notes. They demonstrate this learning when they can evaluate their answers and those of others.

What role does curiosity play?

2024-10-10 13:43:35 UTC

I encourage students to ask the questions. I try to allow students to explore their own learning and guide them as needed. I am always surprised by their insights when they have the freedom to be curious

A lot of living things fish, turtles, etc. bring up a lot of current topics to ask off topic questions.

Via performance. Every musical performance is a display of learning.

Curiosity

2024-10-10 14:07:48 UTC

I love helping students sift through their ideas to find the precious gems that will help them lead to new discoveries.

Externally this can look like telling students they are wrong, but it is about honing their lenses to see what is valuable about their interests.

This occurs in students writing and also in class discussions.

Curiosity

2024-10-10 14:08:04 UTC

Curiosity is huge in my classroom because it encourages my students to utilize both sides of the brain. Through Curiosity the hope is the will go out of their comfort zone and create something new that amazes them.

Suggesting schools that the student may not have considered. Peeking their curiosity.

2024-10-10 14:10:10 UTC

Assess student learning: give students the chance to share their own reflections on a prayer, talk or activity

Display learning: a lot of this occurs in small group sharing but even more so with our students retreat leaders sharing in their talks

Curiosity: Without curiosity students are unable to fully explore a relationship with God. God is so expensive and unknowable that we cannot put Him in a box so we must be curious in seeking to know Him more deeply

How do you assess

2024-10-10 14:10:21 UTC

Regular practice in class with students checking their work. Then assessments based directly on assignments as well as regular summaries assessments after they’ve had multiple opportunities for making mistakes without real consequences
