This week, we learned even more about assessments and how to explore different assessments/elaborate on the ones that we have already created. We went over observational learning, formative assessments, and DAP, which is 'developmentally appropriate practice'.
DAP requires meeting students where they are and enabling students to reach their goals. The main ideas of DAP are shown on this infographic.
On Wednesday's class, we discussed how we must align our objectives to the standards for best teaching results. We talked about specific steps we have to take in order to meet objectives with the standards. they go as following:
Step 1) Start with the standard.
-The standard is what you are supposed to teach, so picking a standard to be taught is the first step and working the curriculum to the objectives and said standard is important.
Step 2) Create an objective.
-Your objective must come from the standard. You may adapt to fit students needs.
Step 3) Creating the assessment
-Use your objective as your assessment.
These three steps are outlined to work together to adhere to lesson planning; aligning our standards, making objectives, and providing assessments for our students.
I like how we discussed this, because we are lesson planning right now. I like how we met with a partner to critique each others work. When we do this, we get an idea as to who is on the same page and who isn't. When meeting with another student, it may be better then a teacher providing feedback because students are more likely to make common mistakes and build off of eachother.
