Keely Reading

This reading was a great way to show us how to correctly assess our classrooms. I really liked that this reading gave definitions for a some of the words. Its hard to read articles in classes sometimes, when I have no idea what have of the terms mean. This is one of the more insightful readings that I have had to read since being in the program. It gave me ways to bring up assessments, what the best ways are to assess my students which will ultimately help me be a better teacher. I also liked how the article gave examples and tables as well. It gave me a visual to look at which helps me learn. The section on probes was also very interesting. I had never heard of them before and now looking back I remember some teachers using them. This is also one of the readings that is not only talking about science, but it is helpful for all subjects. Being able to correctly assess my students will not only benefit me, but it will benefit my students. It gives me an idea about what my students are thinking about and what they want to know or already know.
