It gives me, as a teacher, a quick check into students’ knowledge on each of the interactions of the geosphere and hydrosphere by using tools such as a 3-2-1, quick write, exit quiz, concept map, and comic strip. These come together to address misconceptions the students have, challenge and extend content, and ensure that students take away the main idea from every lesson]]> 2022-03-27 00:58:06 UTC https://padlet.com/hfreema2/pwxju3bw7om2qk2u/wish/2115181012 hfreema2 https://padlet.com/hfreema2/pwxju3bw7om2qk2u/wish/2115181356 I believe that assessment is a vital component of the learning process, as it is the means of evaluating how much students know, understand, and are able to do. In beginning with the end in mind, assessment was what shaped the entire focus and trajectory of the unit]]> 2022-03-27 00:59:16 UTC https://padlet.com/hfreema2/pwxju3bw7om2qk2u/wish/2115181356 hfreema2 https://padlet.com/hfreema2/pwxju3bw7om2qk2u/wish/2115181807 In my unit, students at the end of every lesson, get a variety of checkpoints through instruction to check for understanding. We use a variety of informal assessments, including thumbs-up, think-pair-share, questioning tools, and turn and talks all as a means of assessing how students are synthesizing the material and what misconceptions they are creating. Thus, the teaching can be consistently tailored and driven based on the students. ]]> 2022-03-27 01:00:49 UTC https://padlet.com/hfreema2/pwxju3bw7om2qk2u/wish/2115181807 hfreema2 https://padlet.com/hfreema2/pwxju3bw7om2qk2u/wish/2115183591 This serves as a final evaluation of student learning. The data collected from this assessment will prove how I can adjust the unit moving forward for future students to ensure that the teaching is in alignment with the assessment, and continue to begin with the end in mind.]]> 2022-03-27 01:06:22 UTC https://padlet.com/hfreema2/pwxju3bw7om2qk2u/wish/2115183591 hfreema2 https://padlet.com/hfreema2/pwxju3bw7om2qk2u/wish/2115184802 Beginning with the end in mind! It is the crucial element that remains as the basis for all teaching and lesson planning. Without assessment, teachers are left without any data of where student understanding is]]> 2022-03-27 01:09:52 UTC https://padlet.com/hfreema2/pwxju3bw7om2qk2u/wish/2115184802 hfreema2 https://padlet.com/hfreema2/pwxju3bw7om2qk2u/wish/2115185541 Every student must get a fair and equal chance to participate in the assessment. This can be done through a variety of differentiation tools.

The big idea: EVERY student should be given the chance to communicate their learning!]]> 2022-03-27 01:11:47 UTC https://padlet.com/hfreema2/pwxju3bw7om2qk2u/wish/2115185541 hfreema2 https://padlet.com/hfreema2/pwxju3bw7om2qk2u/wish/2120089004 2022-03-29 19:39:10 UTC https://padlet.com/hfreema2/pwxju3bw7om2qk2u/wish/2120089004
