Assessment 1 year, 9 months 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 1 year, 9 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 1 year, 10 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 1 year, 10 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 1 year, 10 months agoResource #2
Elementary school stations or centers are important if used correctly. This resource has allowed my teachers to see real-life scenarios that help them make sound decisions on how to use data to determine activities. The book also have various activities that teachers can use in their classrooms for various levels.

Assessment 1 year, 10 months 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 1 year, 11 months agoI tried to start my own challenge since so many are silly these days. I was calling it the Formative Assessment Challenge. 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]

Assessment
Public Holler 2 weeks, 6 days 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.
