This week, we expanded our learning on writing lesson objectives. Objectives clearly state what the students should be learning within this lesson as a result of the teacher's instruction. Objectives need to be clear, student-centered, and measurable.
When writing a lesson plan objective, using the ABCD method helps to ensure you hit each part required for an objective: Audience, Behavior, Condition, and Degree. This method gives you the perfect format to hit those three previously stated requirements.

This week we also listened to Ms. Lauren's talk on assessments, especially within standard-based grading, and how to make summative and formative assessments with each core subject. I learned a lot thanks to her talk and was thankful for all the wisdom she passed down to us. She explained how summative assessments, they do not always have to be multiple choice, we can leave them open-ended as well, working on their cognitive skills a bit more as well. She also thankfully answered one of my questions on if we as teachers need to always make our own assessments. I learned that we do not have to but it can be helpful to children in making our own, especially with open-ended questions.

Hi Shaniyah! I like how organized your blog post is and how you include a graphic about the ABCD technique. I also like how you split it into the different material. Great post!
ReplyDeleteI included the same exact clip of the example of the ABCD method, great minds think alike. Ms. Lauren's presentation was definitely helpful in the real life situations of the classroom. It's great to learn from experience!
