Chat GPT Thoughts

Posted on July 9, 2024July 9, 2024 By Amanda Younger No Comments on Chat GPT Thoughts

Another Chat GPT post. The links above are to two previous posts responding to the same prompt. I’m not sure how much my thinking has changed about using Chat GPT or other generative AI tools in the classroom. I’ve read other teacher’s work about “catching” students using Generative AI using various tricks in their own…

Theory of Action for Increased Number Sense

Posted on December 4, 2023December 4, 2023 By Amanda Younger No Comments on Theory of Action for Increased Number Sense

Please see the attached document for my theory of action working towards the goal of increasing number sense in my K-5 school. Is there something that you could see working in your school or classroom? What would you find difficult to implement? What would you not want to be part of?

Assessment Quote to Live By

Posted on December 4, 2023December 4, 2023 By Amanda Younger No Comments on Assessment Quote to Live By

“Classroom assessments that serve as meaningful sources of information don’t surprise students.” (Guskey, 2003)  This quote immediately jumped out to me as both a teacher and a learner. As a learner not knowing what would be on an assessment or not knowing how I would be assessed frequently added to the stress of exams and…

Back to The Basics Infographic

Posted on December 4, 2023 By Amanda Younger No Comments on Back to The Basics Infographic

After viewing the course materials for this section I chose 5 characteristics of good assessment to create an infographic. My 5 characteristics combine information from multiple sources including reading classmate’s discussion board posts to create my own overview. One of the ideas that keeps coming back to me in this module is are we assessing…

Making Assessments More Equitable for Multilingual Learners

Posted on December 4, 2023 By Amanda Younger No Comments on Making Assessments More Equitable for Multilingual Learners

https://www.edutopia.org/article/making-assessments-equitable-multilingual-students One of my biggest challenges I find each year when completing our FSA tests is to make it equitable for my ELL students who have the skills and knowledge but not the vocabulary. After reading the linked article form July 2023 I found several strategies that test writers could easily implement when creating LSAs…

Factors Affecting Student Success on Large Scale Assessments

Posted on December 4, 2023December 4, 2023 By Amanda Younger No Comments on Factors Affecting Student Success on Large Scale Assessments

The first thing that comes to mind for me is anxiety, I was a very anxious test taker through my undergraduate degree despite having the skills and knowledge to do well on the test and sufficient preparation for exams. When connecting with students about their test anxiety and helping them develop strategies to adapt and…

Constructing Quality Assessments

Posted on December 4, 2023December 4, 2023 By Amanda Younger No Comments on Constructing Quality Assessments

Like many teachers I think I have several miss understandings when discussing large scale assessments (LSAs), we are given minimal training on them and how they are developed unless we seek the knowledge ourselves and are also given very minimal training on how to administer them and interpret the results. If we are even given…

Reflecting on My Assessment Practice

Posted on December 4, 2023December 4, 2023 By Amanda Younger No Comments on Reflecting on My Assessment Practice

“The most traditional purpose of assessment involves teachers gathering evidence to draw inferences about students’ learning to establish grades and prepare reports,”  (Earl, 2010) this sentence resonated with me instantly, our assessment is an inference. If we look at how we teach inferencing in reading we teach students that what they read combined with their…

SNAP Math Rubric

Posted on December 4, 2023December 4, 2023 By Amanda Younger No Comments on SNAP Math Rubric

The SNAP Math assessment created by the Chilliwack school district provides a framework for assessing discrete math concepts and includes a one-page number sense assessment for each grade level with an accompanying overarching rubric for assessing in k-7. The rubric provides a good framework that is tied to the BC provincial performance standards in math…
