Viewpoints
and Information
What
other viewpoints or information can you share on assessments (e.g.,
standardized testing, behavior assessment, parent-teacher conferences,
assessment to improve instruction, etc.)?
Students should take part in their learning. This
means they know what is expected of them. Students need to know the standards
they are expected to learn and how they need to show they have learned the
knowledge. Since moving from teaching kindergarten to second grade, I can see
how each grade level gives students more responsibility. This year, I asked my
students to do more than I ever would have asked of them when I taught them in
kindergarten. This includes self-monitoring of behavior, testing, and
extension. Parent-teacher conferences are an example of students have been
given more control. In kindergarten, they had a little share time, and then I
would take over to discuss expectations and answer any questions from the
parent. This year, students were able to lead their own conferences through
Zoom. The students know they would be leading the conferences, and we worked
together to ensure the conference was planned out and structured (West, 2017).
