Module 5 Questions

Reflecting on the assessment procedures in this module has made me search for ways to include all my students. First, because the group is small, and secondly because there is such a wide range of ages. The common factor for all of them is limited reading skills.

Because of limited reading skills, assessment must target non-traditional means. For this reason I will use checklists with picture responses and graphs.

My students have used self-assessment to a limited degree by daily determining if they have met their behavior goals. However, in reality this is usually limited because of the time it takes to talk them through it and have them try to verbalize specific examples. To involve them more in assessment, I will have them personalize their goal at the beginning of the unit. Then we will reword the checklist to match their goal.
