Assessment 6 months, 4 weeks agoOne of our 4th grade teachers uses a “graffiti wall” to assess students’ knowledge of content such as identifying figurative language, text structure, and main idea. I have also utilized this strategy with Social Studies content. Use chart paper or the whiteboard as a space for students to respond to a topic or question. I have most often…[Read more]

Assessment 6 months, 4 weeks agoOne of the resources we use to assess is a consensus map. I was introduced to this idea during a Kagan training. There are many ways to use the consensus map.

Assessment 7 months agoIn my paperless classroom I utilize Google Apps for Education every day. Google Classroom is our “home” where they receive and submit their work. Google Forms is great for assessments, especially now because they have a lock down browser enabled to prevent cheating. I am also a big fan of Google Drawings which allows students to get creative with…[Read more]

Assessment 7 months agoResource
One resource that has been extremely helpful to my classes this year (and one I had not explored yet) has been Google Classroom. With the on-demand writing test moved online, Google Classroom has allowed students to get in much needed typing practice and has made one-on-one work much simpler for myself. When I create a new assignment,…[Read more]

Assessment 7 months agoResource.
I have been a big proponent of case studies throughout my teaching career, as it develops students’ understanding of content through their own research and active problem solving skills. The following link is for a data base of case studies related to the subject of science. These are great and students actually enjoy them.…[Read more]-

Assessment 7 months, 1 week agoResource #2
Elementary school stations or centers are important if used correctly.

Assessment 7 months, 1 week agoResource #1
My teachers have been using quizizz.com and they love this resource. It has quizzes that are already created by other educators as well as the option to create your own quiz. I also have been using this with my teachers in our weekly interactive agendas and they log in and answer their questions for me.-
We use Quizizz! The students love it and sometimes even ask to use it.

Assessment 7 months, 3 weeks agoAnother great resource for science are these books. This week I specifically used the Before, During, and After strategy which really works well to help with modeling in science. Students first did individual illustrations of the concept then I had them chose their best representation from the each group to add to the board. Once we had a… -

You do a challenge then get pics of your students engaging in it and post online. Thought it would be a great way to share strategies with each other. I had a tiny bit of success but if anyone on here would like to…[Read more]

Public Holler 2 months, 2 weeks ago
The opportunity for the relevance of assessment in learning is here and most of all assessment practice focused at the school and classroom level. Assessment is inherently a skilled tool that can be honed by the professional teacher to not only assess learning, but to motivate learning. In this manner, assessment becomes a fundamental part of teaching and is made most useful by the assessment literate teacher. The Assessment Holler is a place to share assessment practice, pose questions and interact in ways that make us all better at our craft.
