Module 2 Reflection

This module has helped me think about using standards, CFQs or formative assessment in the following ways:

1. One must always make sure that the standards align with the assessments.
2. The CFQ's should be very broad and leave the possibility open that they might apply to at least a few various subjects across the curriculum spectrum.
3. Leaving the CFQ open and broad might help the teach make the unit cross-curricular.
4. Formative assessment should be performed frequently throughout the unit to gauge students progress, student needs, and modifications to the unit as needed.
5. 21st century learning skills and technology tools standards as well as standards from other curriculum should be considered in your unit.
6. Assessment does NOT have to be paper and pencil.
7. Authentic assessment should be utilized if at all possible.
8. Making activities and assessments relevant to the students should be done when possible.
9. It might be helpful for some teachers to start with what they want to assess in mind, then work their way backward to unit questions and CFQs.
10. All standards should be assessed!! :)
