Week 6 Reflection
This week, we learned about how our assesments, lesson objectives, and the state standards should all aligh with one another. In the one scenatrio we read about Mr. Sullivan, his lessons were fun and engaging but his assessment was not nearly realted to the lessons he was teaching. His lessons were may have been aligned to the state standards, but not to his assessment, which caused a misalignment in the lessons vs. the assessment.
I realized how important it is to make sure everything is aligned so that your student's will have an easier time with the lessons and assessments. I remember many of my tests in school having questions on topics we never fully went over, which I felt was highly unfair. It causes stress/anxiety in students and can even develop into them having lower confidence in their learning abilities.
In my future classroom, I want to make sure that my studetns feel as if they know the content well and will not have as much stress and anxiety I used to have going into tests and quizzes. I will always keep in mind that I should start with thinking of the end goal I want my students to take away and learn from the lesson, and then work backwards.

Hi Shaniyah! I also remember tests having questions on topics we never learned about which is completely unfair! Thinking about what you want the end goal to be for your students is so important! Great post :)
ReplyDeleteGreat post! I also remember having tests that caused me stress and anxiety from teachers who included content on the test that I did not feel prepared to be tested on. Having an alignment through all the components of lesson plans is super important to make sure students are comprehending the content being given so they do not feel anxious or stress while being assessed!
ReplyDeleteGood post! I really like your blog and think this nails what was taught this week!
