Assessment - Gives an accurate picture of where students are academically and socially/emotionally.
Create routines within routines to help you quickly gather data on students.
Lean on the support of the other teachers in the building.

Assessment - Proceeder to making inferences. Ask to do, I observe and make inferences.
They aren't valid assessments there are only invalid and valid interpretations.
Go to assess - Whiteboards for good responses

Assessment: Getting to know what kids know and how can we use it to help them.
Go to: Exit tickets so we can know if students were able to retain the information.
QUICK ASSESSMENT MAKES THE BEST ASSESSMENT.
Working together and asking what friends have said can help you cut down on grading and still be able to see what they have learned.

21 years of teaching.
Assessment: How students are feeling, where they are at, where do we need to go. Knowing how they feel is important to assessments.
Go to: Whiteboard while observing.
GOAL: How did my students grow this year?
Make a plan on where students need to be and gather students to show them where they need to go and how to get there.

Assessment: This is when you have a goal that you want to meet and you have to assess to be able to see that you are here and you have to do this to get to there.
Go to: Rubrics that have multiple indicators and standards. It keeps you more objective.
Creating a rubric will help you stay connected to those standards and how you want the end product to be.
Advice: Rubrics don't leave room for guessing games and you know exactly what you are wanting.

Assessment: A tool that determines what our students have learned and what they are going to learn next. It guides us as teachers.
Go to: Hands-on, fast and easy. Tool kits already prepared. Ex. Cubes, ask to show me a stick of 5 break off two how many are left types?
For younger students routines are very important. Go over them over, and over again until they have it down. If they fail take a breath and practice with them again.

Assessment: Can students apply the knowledge and show me they understand what has been taught?
Tip: Start with a standard and break it down on what it means. Break it down to five to six students and keep it laid out for the students so they know what is going on. Keep it open.
Give the students opportunities to meet with you and how they will do their project.

3rd grade
Assessment: The biggest key to assessments is observation. The day-to-day part is the important part of the assessment.
Go to: Small groups assessing even with students who meet the academic levels. It makes students feel heard and seen in their education.
Use vocabulary lessons to help promote good vocabulary and help widen their curiosity through vocab.

Assessment: This is an estimation of the quality of our student's learning and day-to-day observation.
Many times students can be assessed and given the wrong information. Taking the time to stop and properly assess students can show you students' deeper needs that might not have been caught before.
Advice: Respect your impact. Relationships with students are a huge deal. Many need that relationship with you.

One thing that I noticed about their advice was to stop and take the time to see how students are doing and observe what might be going on with them. It can help you get a better understanding of what students might need.
The strategy that I heard most often was to watch the students the moment they walk into the door because those behaviors and issues that happen all the time can change how you might teach and assess that student.
The part that I liked was one of the last ladies who said to have assessment boxes and tools ready to go so you can make it fast and easy for those younger students.
The one that I connected to the most was the kindergarten teacher (Sorry can't remember her name). She shared some good insight on how the kindergarten room and her teaching style worked and that helped me get a good understanding of some things that I will have to do if I become a kindergarten teacher like I hope to do.
What shocked me the most was how they all said to stop and take a breath because assessments aren't as scary as most new teachers feel. Take a deep breath and learn without being scared.

How can I ensure that my students understand the assessments that we do? What are some ways to help students who are less interested in working on their needs?
