Assessment practice inventory. Unit 1

Assessment practice inventory. UNIT 1

In this activity we should use a scale (0-4) to develop a self-assessment about the understandings, relating them to our own experiences.

After completing the chart, I will make a reflection about the marks.

Developing this self-assessment, I have realised that I have to improve the way in wich I carry out assessment of my students. I know the theory but sometimes it is difficult to apply. 

I have to improve about the grade book. I know that I, as a teacher, have to give feedback to my students and take note of every problem that they have, as well as the achievement that they get in the process. However, sometimes it is difficult to carry out because of lacking of time.  

Also, I have to improve in the connection that should exit between objectives and assessment. I have realised that in many occasions, the assessment criteria that I establish don´t have a clear relationship to the targets. It is because I don´t know the law in a hundred percent.

I am not good at relationing the  instruction and the assessment.  I know that my students are totally different and also I try to adapt my way of teaching to them. However, at assessment time, I carry out the same way of assessment to all of them. It is because I want to use the same criteria to assess them, but I don´t take into acount their weakness about this way of assessment.

Finally, I have to improve my way of thinking about assessment. I know that assessment is not to find students´ weaknesses. I try to give my students positive feedback about their assessment task. However, it is difficult for me.
