Week 2 Reflection

What I learned in week 2 was about different styles of assessments. The first one was checklists, and the goal of this assessment approach is to help you understand development, develop curriculum, and assess learning and development. They have the benefit of being simple and adaptable to use, and they may be employed independently. However, there are several drawbacks to this examination, including the fact that it can be time-consuming and is not indicative of a child's success. Rating scales are another type of assessment. They are similar to checklists in that they measure the degree to which particular behaviors or qualities are thought to be present in the individual. There are many different types of rating scales, but the two most common are the numerical rating scale and the visual rating scale. Rating scales have several advantages, including the ability to capture behaviors that other measurements cannot, being quick to complete, simple to understand, and simple to develop. Lastly, rubrics are an assessment that presents a set of qualifying phrases specifying multiple levels of quality for each feasible level of performance. Holistic, analytic, and developmental rubrics are the three most prevalent forms of rubrics.

Now, I would utilize checklists in my classroom since they are simple to use. I'd be able to phone up a pupil and see whether they're crossing off the items on my to-do list for the week. I wouldn't use it for large observations to check whether the youngster is grasping the content completely. However, having a weekly checklist and meeting each child personally will allow you to get to know your pupils better and see if they learn in their unique style. That way, you can see what needs to be changed in your classes and whether or not the youngster is absorbing the content.

Finally, one of the most difficult aspects of the analytic rubric was coming up with precise statements so that students understood what they needed to do to receive full marks in that area. In addition, it had to be linked with the PA standards and the regions had to meet the worksheet guidelines. Overall, it wasn't horrible, but there was a lot to think about.
