What clerical and preparation responsibilities have you participated in?
How does this teacher manage assessment?
At Dan Peterson school I was asked to take data on the goals that the students did. I would mark whether the students completed the task independently, with a partial prompt, or a full prompt. I would then write any comments I had concerning the progress of the students. At Barrett elementary I was not asked to record information, but, I did notice the way that the teacher kept track of the students' scores. Each student was assigned a number. The teacher would call each number and the students would say what score they got. If the students did not want to say their score out loud they had the option of walking up to the teacher and tell her the score secretly. I do not think that I would be able to score things that way in my own classroom. I think it is important to have the students learn about honesty, but, I do not think I would trust my students to give me the correct score. Recording progress is important for the growth of students. I know that by grading everything myself I would have a lot of extra work but I want to be able to see where my students are missing questions so that I may better teach them in the future.
