Evaluation and Assessment

Last week we had the topic of assessment and evaluation. Now I am more clear about their meanings. I understood assessment as the observation of students in the process of learning, the collection of frequent feedback on students learning that can help to provide information about students' learning. Evaluation uses methods and measures with grades to judge students' learning and understanding.
Now that I am more clear about assessment and evaluation,  it can help me to increase my students' motivation and show them how well they have learned the language.

    Hi, Lorenzo!
    I am glad to know that you not only enjoyed and learned from this session, but you also want to implement changes in your class evaluations. Remember what we discussed: every test is a learning opportunity.
    Thanks for sharing.

Day 4 of observation in Thurman G. Smith Elementary School.

Thursday, March 1st, 2018 The use of technology in class surprised me. All the students in class owned their own personal laptop. They used it to practice math in class, to look for information and to share information with others. Also, I could observe that the computer could be a distractor in class. Because sometimes some specific students were not paying attention to class and they were playing computer games. The teacher couldn't observe those students for that reason I talked to them that please pay attention. The teacher also used technology to present her classes. She handled in a good way the use of technology in class. Also, I attended the library class. This class was performed at the library. The library teacher read them a short book but the point that caught my attention was the tone of voice and mimic used during the reading. That caused the students to pay attention and participate in the reading. At the end of this class, she encouraged them to select a boo...

Day 2 of Observation in Thurman G. Smith Elementary School.

Tuesday, February 27th, 2018 During this second day, I focused my observation in the classroom management. The management of the class was ordered. Every time the children talked or did not pay attention she called attention to them with attention to getters like "Clap once if you can hear me." Those students who listened quieted down and clapped once. Then she said, "Clap twice if you can hear me." Then more children responded with two claps. Finally, she said, "Clap three times if you can hear me." By this time she had the attention of all her students. Also, I noticed that she had a notebook, where she wrote down the names of students who did not follow the instructions given, they at the end of the week they would not have the extra recess time that those who followed instructions would enjoy. I liked that the school has an ELD class (English Language Development). In this class, all the Spanish speakers or another language speakers students had to ...
