Assesment ah ha.



PPA 4D says: “The plan includes opportunities for students to engage in a variety of assessments that measure their performance relative to the learning targets”.  I was not sure how, other than an exit slip, to offer a variety of assessments.  One option that was offered to me included having students have small white boards at their desks so that I can ask a question, get them to write an answer and hold up the white boards for me to assess their understanding.  I am planning a trip to Home Depot to buy a special kind of melamine board to cut in pieces, tie markers to and launch the white board assessment adventure in our classroom.The irony is I was familiar idea I just hadn't considered it a form of assessment.

  1. Those are also good for group work. Especially if your room is arranged in rows. For example you can put a multistep problem on the board, start the problem off with the first person in the row doing the first step and then pass the board back, the second person does the second step etc.
