Weeks 7 & 8

 Collection of Excel Spreadsheets for Teachers - Examples & teaching aids - FREE Download

During weeks 7 and 8, we focused on learning how to use excel and applying data. This is a helpful way to work on making an organized platform to put any documentation for students, objectives, and content. Excel is a helpful resource to use that can help track the progress of students. This can be organized by graphs, charts, grids, or any other organized way that works for you.

Norm-reference tests- results that are compared to others of a similar group

Criterion-referenced tests- results compared to a set standard and testers are ranked in relation to tested knowledge

It is important to understand that collecting data in the classroom is very important for assessments. This can determine how students are understanding the content, what lessons or assessments students are doing well in, and whether content needs revisited, and this also allows teachers to see how students are doing individually. These graphs of individual students are also good to implement when having parent-teacher conferences so the families can see how their child is doing.

While working on practicing using excel in class, I got more familiar with how to find calculations and create data points into types of graphs. This is something that I will see myself using in my future classroom.

  Documentation: During this week, we continued our discussion on documentation which is a way of recording a child’s progress with their academics, behaviors, child’s discussions and ideas, and their ideas. There are different types of documentation: Panels and Portfolios.  Panels:  The purpose of this type of documentation is to show what the students in the classroom are learning. The panels may include pieces of work from a child, multiple stages of completion of an activity, voices written by what students are saying, and any other ways to show what students are doing in class. This is good for students to have the opportunity to revisit what they have been learning in their classes. The most important part about this type of documentation is that the children’s learning is visible to everyone.  Portfolios:  The purpose of this documentation is to systematically collect evidence of children’s work and knowledge over time with demonstrations of a child’s eff...

  The ABCD Method is a method that is used to identify what students are able to do and gives a clear picture of what students need to do to be successful. These are also known as objectives.  Audience:   who is this objective obtained to  Behavior:   describes what the student is able to do; must be observable and measurable Condition:   any resources, limitations, or materials given while completing objective  Degree:   the level or criteria student succeeds; to what degree of mastery  ABCD Example:  Given four examples of ABCD instructional objectives, ELEC 316 students will work in groups of 2-3 to accurately identify the audience, behavior, condition, and degree of each example. This visual above is also important to keep in mind when creating objectives with the ABCD Method. The object must be specific, measurable, attainable, relevant, and time-based in order to be a clear objective for students to understand. If it’s missing ...
