Week 2 assignment ! Assessment

I found this video very helpful and understandable. In this video what Dr. Paratore was mostly discussing different ways and ideas to assess students in the content of reading. Dr. Paratore and different teachers from the school discuss their ideas on how to assess a student. Also discuss in the video was that students that have struggle with reading are the students that don’t read on their own. Also it discuss that a good teacher is a teacher that assess within the content of daily instructional activities. Teachers assess their students on the work level, comprehension, on the different content the students do level text, and how they read on their own or with a friend or a teacher. Also the teacher discuss the classroom assessment that utilizes multiple measures which is assessment teacher use multiple on nature and context. Also embedded in the instructional context, continuous is when teacher gather information either day by day or week to week data. But Dr. Paratore suggested that if you gather information week by week to those students that have struggles and questions and monthly to those students who don’t have as much of a trouble reading. Dr. Paratore spoke about running records. As the teachers discuss the running records they made me have a better understanding of what it actually is. When I was observing last semester one of my teachers did the running record with me present. Running records assess the student’s fluency, but I do agree with Dr. Paratore and the teachers the running record doesn’t really assess on the student’s comprehension of the story. From this video I learn how different teacher share their different ways to assess their students and try to find the best way to help their students in the classroom.
