Learning about assessments!

I loved the worksheets available in our book. This would be very helpful to use in getting to know my students personalities, interests, and talents. This would help me in differentiating because I would know how to connect with each student. I would be able to take an interest in their interests. I thought these inventory worksheets were very positive as well. The student gets to put the goods things about them. This helps the teacher see all that is good in their student. I think teachers have a hard time differentiating because sometimes they only see what their student is lacking. What their student still has to learn. These inventories help the teacher see the student in a positive light. I would want to take these inventories the first two or three weeks of school to help me know how to connect to my students and find something wonderful to appreciate in each one of them.
After looking through what was posted on blackboard I think I could use some of those in my student teaching. I few of the assessments I saw I have actuaAlly used in my field work. Such as the inventory about how the student feels about reading. Thank you for all of these great assessment ideas! I think if I showed a few to my cooperating teacher beforehand she would definitely let me do some in the classroom. These assessments all look like quick ways to get a picture of where that student is at and how they are feeling. In my student teaching these assessments would help me get to know each student better. Their personal struggles and their successes. Thank you for putting this on blackboard for us!
