Chapter 9 Reflection: Making Assessment Meaningful

1. Description of a method of understanding prior-knowledge of students

  • By using projects in the classroom students have the opportunity to not only learn new things but also apple what they already know. a teacher can use different tools of assessment such as the K-W-L chart rather than using national testing to see where they are academically. 
2. Discussion on the importance of establishing anchors for a project
  • The anchors of a project give teachers a sense of where students are starting and how far they're going as they work to meeting learning goals. By expanding opportunities of differentiated instruction it will help all students be successful in their projects. 
3. Description of several ways to assess what students learned during the project
  • There are many ways to assess what students learned during a project. For example, teachers can bladinently ask students what they've learned and may what they're unsure of to help guide their learning and prevent any misconceptions. By taking what they've learned teachers can have them apply it to something new to create. Teachers can also encourage real-world assessment and maybe even push students toward entering their project into a contest or submit it for publication. 
4. Discussion on how concepts in this chapter relate to your topic/project
  • This chapter helps our group take what prior knowledge we have about staying healthy and apply it to what we have learned thus far in our project. By taking what we know and what we have learned we are able to create new things.
