Module 1: Preparing Students for assessments

 

Research ways teachers can better prepare students for assessments:

 

 I have usually heard of the standard ideas like, review sheets, talking explicitly about how to take tests etc. I have always had great communication with parents, I have worked hard at that.

Assessment in primary grades is a lot of observation and taking in of samples. I like building portfolios because often you have work from the beginning of the year (the students baseline) and then from the end of year. This gives me, as a teacher, the view of each individual students growth, and this is what is celebrated.
