Assignment 2
Importance of informal
assessment
The importance of
informal assessment is the indication that extra help is needed. It also informs
the teacher how and where the student is struggling. As for the 6 videos the
students struggled with phonic awareness, pronunciation, letter pattern recollection,
rhyme patterns. Some these students however excelled in these areas and skills.
Informal assessments should go quick and smoothly. Things for the evaluator to
take into consideration is classroom environment, prepared, student
expectations, teacher knowledge, and most importantly assess the student when
they are at their best not their worse. Informal assessments allow the teacher
to become aware of where adjustments should be made in teaching techniques and
how to accommodate those struggling students.
Dear Paul, the assignment #2 is to do the running record and based on the results of the assessment, draw up a list of the student's apparent strengths and needs. Post it on your blog.
