Martina and I are coming to a close in our unit plan. It feels good to have all of the components in place and now just add or modify small details. I am very happy with the progress and the variety of assessment tools we used. Martina did an excellent job in incorporating evidence-based learning throughout the unit. Each first grader has a science journal to record observations, ask questions and complete small assignments. The science journals are used in the classroom as well as in the media center. At the end of the unit, a large group project and presentation are assigned and these are assessed by a rubric. Martina developed a multiple-choice online test using www.proprofs.com. I was not familiar with this website and I think it is an excellent assessment tool.
As far as displaying work for stakeholders, we decided to video record the student group presentations and put them on the school's website. We also decided to display the group posters in the media center, along with a book display about butterfly life cycles.

Kara,
ReplyDeleteI'll have to check out proprofs! With all of the hard work you put into designing evidence-based lessons, I wonder could you go beyond displaying student work and devise (or have students devise) a chart to reflect their growth in understanding of the subject matter.
Good work.
