FIAE: Chapter 3

This chapter was all about assessing lesson plans to find out what needs to be kept in the lesson plan, dropped, or re vamped. Assessing a unit or lesson plan is not only based on the kids achievements but it is also up to the teacher to do their work in really determining what works for which student and why. There are three ways to assess, the first is pre-assessment where the teacher finds out where their students knowledge is at before they being a unit. Then there is formative assessment which is assessments given to the students throughout the lesson, then there is the summative assessment given at the end of a unit to see not only how successful the students were but how successful the lesson was as a whole. It is the teachers job to compile these assessments and critique the lesson. Another important thing included in this chapter was the fact that teachers should be preparing their students for the moment, for what is going on in school then, not for the outside world or college. I have had many teachers who tell the students that they need to prepare for college, and that's not true, the students need to prepare for what is going on in school then.
