Multiple Intelligence and Myer’s Brigg’s:
This
form can help me determine which intelligences are strongest for you. If you're
a teacher or tutor, you can also use it to find out which intelligences your
learner uses most often. It is important for teachers to carefully select
activities that not only teach to the intelligences, but also realistically
mesh with the subject matter of the lesson or unit. Multiple Intelligences
theory should enhance, not devalue from what is being taught. I would rate this
5 because it help us teachers find the weakness and strength of each student.
Performance Task:
Performance
task ask students to apply skills and knowledge by performing real-world tasks.
Performance tasks require students to think at a high level and employ a
variety of skills. Students will gather information from
sources such as books, articles, interviews, lectures, or experiments. Rather than simply memorizing facts,
students will analyze, apply, and synthesize what they learn. They often have
many opportunities to make choices, express creativity, and practice problem
solving. Students will communicate their learning through a type of performance
such as a demonstration, presentation, recital, reading, or role-play. I would
rate this 5 too because it helps understand each information being applied by
students.
Checklist,
Learning Log, Journals:
Checklist is something a
teacher would guide themselves or to make list on the lesson. Learning Log and
journal is similar; both have the same outcome of what the teacher wants the
students to do. I don’t see this as an effective tool but it is considered as
an interactive and engaging way to breakdown a topic or keeps something
valuable. I would rate this 4 out of 5.
Matrix and
Rubrics:
Rubrics are great for students
they let students know what is expected of them, and demystify grades by
clearly stating, in age-appropriate vocabulary, the expectations for a project.
They also help students see that learning is about gaining specific skills
(both in academic subjects and in problem-solving and life skills), and they
give students the opportunity to do self-assessment to reflect on the learning
process. Using scoring rubrics demote grades and helps students see that the
whole object of schoolwork is attainment and refinement of problem-solving and
life skills. Rubrics also help teachers authentically monitor a student's
learning process and develop and revise a lesson plan. They provide a way for a
student and a teacher to measure the quality of a body of work. I would rate
this perfect 5 because it is a must and also helps teachers identify if student
understand beyond what is expected.
Graphic Organizer:
This is a great tool for
students to expand their thinking. It helps students classify ideas and communicate
more effectively. By using graphic organizers to structure writing projects, to
help in problem solving, decision making, studying, planning research and
brainstorming. I would rate this 5 because it helps student think beyond
expected.
Interviews & Conferences:
This help parents get to know
the teacher background information and also give advice on what their child
lacks and need to improve or to be aware or what is going on with school and in
academics. This is necessary to all teachers and I rate this 5 for just
because.
Teacher Made Test:
Teacher-made tests are
generally used in the classroom to assess student learning. Good teacher made
test is crucial for student’s success. Assessing
should produce more than a score, it should cause students to think and
exercise a variety of skills. I would rate this 5!
CNMI Standards and Benchmarks test:
Standards
are guideposts for schools. Teachers, parents and students use them as a tool
to focus on what students are expected to learn. These standards
become the basis for the way teachers are trained, what they teach and what is
on state standardized tests that students take. Without standards, districts
and schools don't have goals to shoot for. By matching what is taught in the
classroom to the standards in each subject area, students (and their parents
and teachers) will know what teachers should be teaching, what students should
be learning and what they will be tested on. This is the most important thing
in education and I would rate this 5.
