Journal Entry #4
While observing in Mrs. Nuttall's kindergarten class I have been able to many ways that she assesses her students. With in the last month she has had parent teach conferences and had to put out grades. Observing just a small part of Mrs. Nuttals's assessments with the students was overwhelming, because of how much goes into assessing each student. She went over her list of what she needed to assess to update their grades and it was so much. It ranged fro social skills to counting to 100 and reading. There was a list of at least 20 (probably much more) that she showed me on all these skills that the students are tested on.
When Mrs. Nuttall was preparing for parent teacher conferences she used the assessments with the grades how ever she also had collected a lot of work that she had the student work on previously, like projects that tested their motor skills, and "writing a narrative" worksheet. I loved this because it showed the good work of the students, though they has no idea it was a "test" in a sense. I love this also because it works well for me as well. I am not a great at taking tests, I become nervous and do not focus well, but on projects I can really dedicated my self to a project and do my best. I feel like Mrs. Nutall was really able to asses the students in several ways like these to really see the real progress of each student.
