Assessment Assignment #1

Due Oct. 14, 2008.

Select one unit from the textbook you will be using in your student teaching. Write up a paper and pencil test. The test must be doable in 45 minutes and have questions from all levels of Bloom's taxonomy. You will identify which level you believe each question targets. You will include an answer key and a grading rubric. You are not allowed to use any straight true/false questions and only a maximum of 20% of your exam can be made up of multiple choice questions. You will bring enough copies to give one to each classmate and to Dr. Kitts. These copies will be needed for an additional activity.


Assessment Assignment #2

Due Oct. 28, 2008.

Select one unit from the textbook you will be using in your student teaching. Develop and prepare one performance-based activity that lasts no longer than 15-20 minutes. Have your classmates perform this activity in class on Oct. 28 and assess them. You must turn in your assessments and your reflections on how effective your choice of instrument was by 9 am Wed. Oct. 29, 2008. Why do you have to turn this in so quickly? Because your students will need immediate feedback and you meet with them everyday. It's called reality.
