Your First Year as a CTE Teacher (Part 2) --> Student Assessment
Post what you've learned about this topic and how you intend to apply it. Feel free to post questions and comments too.
I will use both formative and summative assessments for the tracking of skills learned and techniques demonstrated by my students.
Integrating for formative and summative assessments in my curriculum.
Both formative and summative are essential for student success
When assessing students be open minded that students learn differently so use different forms of assessments so that students can be assessed correctly in the best way possible.
You truly need both types of assessments
In my class I will be performing both summative and formative assessments.
Student assessment is key to tracking progress and guiding instruction. I’ve learned to use both formative and summative assessments, especially hands-on tasks in CTE. I plan to give regular feedback and use results to adjust lessons and support student growth.
I learned that student evaluation should support learning, not just assign grades. Using activities like “Muddiest Point” helps identify areas of confusion and encourages peer learning. Effective summative assessments should include all three learning domains: cognitive, psychomotor, and affective. I plan to use “Muddiest Point” in my classroom to check for student understanding.
The table of specifications is a helpful tool to organize internal alignment and have a complete view of how you are using your assessments to meet your objectives
I didn't know that certificate and certification had specific connotations of education vs industry. Good to know!
A unit of study should have quality formative and summative assessments.
Formative and summative assessments are a good method of guiding students with the means to help them understand and get the most out of the lessons.
It is helpful to know the difference between formative and summative assessments. Formative assessments are used as you are helping to form the students. Summative assessments are used to summarize what they have learned over the class.
It was helpful to understand the difference between license, certificate, certification, and degree.
Combing formative and summative assessments are the key to ensure learning is being understood along the way.
The importance of ensuring the summative assessment is aligned with standards and formative assessments.
I love the idea of the "muddiest point." I think could be greatly utilized in my curriculum
I like how the module focused on beginning with the end in mind. Often, I can see myself being overwhelmed thinking that way, but in actuality, it provides direction and clarity instead. I always like learning about ways to differentiate instruction. It can be easy to get into a groove doing the same things over and over again, so it is really important to be mindful of alternative ways to differentiate instruction while keeping students engaged. Including various forms of assessment is important and this is something I intend to continue to work on with my students. I hope to continue to expand my knowledge in vertical alignment capabilities in order to help my students better understand all of their options.
The table comparing license, certificate, certification, and degree was enlightening.
