Assessment 2 days, 15 hours 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.

Assessment 2 weeks agoOne science tool that I love are these misconception books. Just when you think students really understand something your mind is blown. They can be used in so many ways! -

Assessment 2 weeks 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]

Therefore, it makes it difficult to plan and assess. A book I have found super helpful this year is called, “The Common Core Mathematics Companion: Standards Decoded.” In this book it explains the…[Read more]

Assessment 4 weeks agoA resource I wanted to share is called, “Visible Learning For Literacy.” I have always found it challenging to assess reading. It is different than assessing math. There are certain math problems students can work tied to a particular standard that can give you insight into whether or no students have master that standard. However, there are…[Read more]

Assessment 4 weeks, 1 day agoThis is a great website to use for combing reading and writing in the content areas! Also, each module comes with a rubric for helping you assess student work/writing! I always find it hard to find the materials I am looking for to correctly assess student writing! This is a plus with this site!

Public Holler 2 days, 15 hours 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.
