This video was very interesting to watch.
This video provided me with a better understanding of assessing students on a
continual basis. On-going assessments are crucial for student learning. Assessments
give teachers a clear understanding of the students learning deficiencies, and
allows for teachers to prepare lessons that ultimately help the students’
learning needs. As a teacher, I believe a variety of assessments should be used
to assess students learning. By using a variety of assessments, teachers are
able to receive immediate feedback, which allows for well-planned instruction
that meets the needs of the students. As a classroom teacher, I use a variety
of assessment to fully understand my students’ needs as a learner. It’s
important to know and understand student’s strengths and weakness, and how to
plan effectively for their learning. Reading is comprised of some many
different aspects. It’s important for the teacher to understand where students
are struggling with their reading. By labeling a child a struggling reading, a
teacher is not identifying the real problem. Using assessments allows the
teacher to pinpoint the exact issue the student is having with their reading. Once
the reading issue has been identified, the teacher is able to provide
instruction to meet the needs of the reader. Differentiate instruction is a
common term used in my school. Through differentiated instruction, teachers are
able to provide instruction at the students’ level. It’s a well-known fact that
assessments help drive your instruction. If this is the case, then assessments
should be on a continual basis, not just once and awhile. Assessments play a key
role in student success, and it’s the teachers responsibility to help improve
their reading abilities by providing effective instruction, and then assessing
students understanding. It’s our number one priority…ensuring success of all
students. Student success can be accomplished with the use of assessments.
