These are my Assessment Literacy quizzes from the beginning and the end of the semester in my ECS 401 course

This is from January 10th

This is from April 8th

At the beginning of the semester, I had never really thought of the specific topics brought up in the quizzes. I was not confident in being able to answer questions based around the numbers and specific statistics. My confidence and knowledge has grown on all of the topics, but mostly I now have a better base to configure my opinions around. When it comes to assessment, I feel more insightful and capable of incorporating and trying different avenues of assessment. Overall, the quizzes further proved how this class has benefitted me as a person and in my Education Career.

At the beginning of the class there was a focus conversation about Pre-Internship. I personally have not gotten to the point in my schooling journey to be in my 3 week block yet. I have been taking a full class load, while taking multiple spring classes- I wanted to take this class now (at the end of my 2 & 1⁄2 year of University) to make it easier on myself when I am in my semesters of Interning. This was nice to still be a part of in the sense I was able to get an idea of what some of my peers experienced during their time in their internship. We did a PollGuru to facilitate conversations and opinions of what was seen in everyones classrooms during their experiences. This was a beautiful way of fitting all the pieces of assessment into a whole! Which leads me to my symbol this week.

This week my symbol is the yellow Hexagon used while teaching fractions to represent a whole. The idea that this Hexagon can be separated into different fractions- all that can add up to be a whole and construct different pieces of an idea. Some pieces of assessment use COPS- as was mentioned in the class on Wednesday, “Conversation, Observations, Products” each represent ⅓ of putting together parts of assessment to make a successful whole.

We also went over the Class Community Summary Score Sheet for our Dialogue Papers. There are also three points that make up this form of assessment- There were the scores, the Range, and the Mean. This made up my Dialogue Papers fraction.  I found it to be an enlightening process as well. I got a better understanding of how my peers like to assess and understand what I wrote- it meant different things to different people, which I wholeheartedly respect.

Another task we went over was the Fraction activity. In itself it represents my fraction symbol, however, this activity had multiple pieces making it a whole. I was able to complete the Fraction activity a couple of weeks ago, then myself and a peer came together to decide how we would assess those who have completed the activity (what question is worth what points and what category they land under: Intellectual, physical, or Spiritual), finally we looked at how the Fraction activity is marked and what category each question falls into. This helps to make us look at data in a thoughtful way!

Overall, this class helped to make some more pieces of the fraction for Assessing and learning easier!
