    At sixteen, she has entered the adolescence stage and entered puberty. She demonstrated normal physical movement and had no signs of any disability that pertained her from adequate physical activity. Both her gross and motor skills were visible in the observation. Her cognitive development is visible, when she is able to think and make fast decisions to problems as they arise. Her cognitive development has reached a point where she no longer views problems in a concrete way but rather think abstractly about them in solutions. The ability to solve problems the last minute and look for solutions make her cognitive development ready for early adulthood. While she was not given a grade right away for her presentation, it was clear in the observation that her overall school performance is at or above normal level. It is inferred though this observation that the child has good communication skills which is something most peers her age can be lacking

  • Alternative Grading Methods for Students with Learning Disabilities

    853 Words  | 2 Pages

    The purposes of assessing special education students are to determine their progress in achieving annual goals and short-term objectives. Assessment also provides diagnostic information for instructional decision making decisions. In recent years, formal and standardized tests have been criticized for their inability to integrate assessment and teaching. Teachers know that the students are learning; however, they do not know the extent of learning. Standardized tests typically measure a small amount of grade-level skills. Also, standardized tests stress factual information; thereby, forcing teachers to teach to the test. For example, they evaluate writing skills by asking grammar questions rather than having the students write a story. Since standardized tests, do not measure an individual student’s knowledge, the impact on students with exceptional needs can be harmful. This dissatisfaction has forced educators to look at different forms of assessment in order to provide information about student learning and achievement.

  • Celestial Coalescence

    Fourteenth century England drew witness to many disruptions in time. The 100 Years War, Peasants Revolt, and Black Death are among the many tumultuous events that provide the context for some of the greatest literary masterpieces ever composed. Geoffrey Chaucer and the Pearl Poet are amid the most venerated poets on record. Is it purely chance, or did this era cultivate finely tuned writing ability through its refined culture? Just as we will never know the name of the Pearl Poet, we can only infer the social and educational mores of the fourteenth century through the caliber of writers it produced. The era uniformly affects the poem content of Chaucer and the Pearl Poet, but the values can be argued by one simple, differing factor. While Chaucer seemed to write to the popularity of his work, the Pearl Poet chose to not inscribe his name on his manuscripts. As Geoffrey Chaucer indefinitely marks his pages in history, the Pearl Poet, mysteriously, saves his literary breath for after he's literally taken his last. With no name and little evidence of its origination, the producer of the poems, Pearl, Purity, Patience, and Sir Gawain and the Green Knight will most likely remain anonymous, or commonly known as the "Pearl Poet," for the remainder of history. Whether his work was an offering to God, or whether he chose to leave the poems nameless because of the ill repute of English-written manuscripts, the Pearl Poet's work still ranks him with Chaucer and other literary geniuses. Akin to they're repute, their literary practices are very much alike. Chaucer and the Pearl Poet share in the same literary practices through their incorporation of the dream narrative, satire of nobility, Boethius, and the Golden Section.

    The Gravimetric Stoichiometry lab was a two-week lab in which we tested one of the fundamental laws of chemistry; the Law of Conservation of Mass. The law states that in chemical reactions, when you start with a set amount of reactant, the product should theoretically have the same mass. This can be hard sometimes because in certain reactions, gases are released and it’s hard to measure the mass of a gas. Some common gases released in chemical reactions include hydrogen, carbon dioxide, oxygen and water vapor.

  • Possible Solutions for Standardized Testing

    1079 Words  | 3 Pages

    One solution offered by Alfie Kohn, a well-renowned speaker on human behavior, education, and parenting, suggests that teachers would give parents written evaluations of how their child is performing and having frequent conferences available to talk about their child’s performance. Kohn believes that the most effective teachers do not rely solely on standardized tests. Great teachers are able to observe their students and are able to see without the use of exams how well their students understand the concepts being taught. In 1999, Phi Delta Kappa and Gallup poll surveyed the community. Individuals were asked to choose which of four approaches they felt would be the most precise evaluation of a student’s educational development. Using exam scores from standardized testing received the lowest percentage of 27%. Evaluating work that the students have done over a period of time received the highest number of votes at 33%, while the remainder of the votes were divided between letter grades and written evaluations from teachers after observing each student (Pollard, J, 1999).

    I wonder if there is a true solution to this situation. At a young age my brother demonstrated great skill and adeptness for understanding. Enrolled in a Montesorri preparatory school where students were encouraged to learn at their own pace, Ian was reading and doing long division in kindergarten. Later that year, when my family moved, my brother and I were transferred to another school system. Ian was placed in a kindergarten class filled with five-year-olds and it was clear he did not fit in. Finishing the assigned work within 15 minutes, he sat around fidgeting and causing trouble. The teacher, already overwhelmed with too many students, did not know how to handle the situation and sent him to the principal’s office. Faced with this dilemma, the principal offered my parents the option for Ian to test out of successive grades until we determined which academic level was appropriate for him. My brother took the exams and tested out of kindergarten, 1st, and 2nd grade.

Some of the most evaluated categories of assessment include: intelligence, achievement, memory, language, attention, and motor skills. (Silver, 2006).
