Assessment Crisis #17
"If we wish to maximize student achievement in the U.S., we must
pay far greater attention to the improvement of classroom
assessment."
This excert from the reading really sums up the reading. It talks about how high stakes testing is not bad at all. They just need to approach it in a difrent way so the students who don't do well with it don't just give up. It talks about assessment for learning a lot and how if we can let students learn at there own pace they do better.
It talks about the politician in this country and how some of them understand that this needs to change, but they don't know how to do it. We as a country have been doing high stakes test since the school system started and have only added more test over the last hundred years. As we look now we see that the numbers are not going up because students are feeling hopeless.
What needs to be done is to teach teachers how to do better assessment in the class. And also let them have a little more lead way in the class. Right now there is so many deadlines and goverment programs to tell them what to teach when and how long to teach it. We need to worry more about the for learners then the of learners.

Project-Based Learning for the 21st Century #15
1. The paper talks about two schools in England that one was not a PBL and the other was. The PBL school out did the other school on the national test in England. This is one exaple of how PBL schools increase students knowledge.
2. It challegences the students to research and and read matterial that are a little bit above the students reading level becasue they want to learn more about the subject they are talking about.
3. The main reason is that thay are doing learning that matters. The students are excited to learn and will remmember it becasue it is relavent to them.
4.The reason PBL and Dewey align so well is that Dewey believe that students build on background knowledge throught the use of a PBL project.
5. We need to assess on real skills and knowledge to help student improve on students background skills and add to new schema. We do not need to just have student spit out the same imforamtion that the teacher stand in front and tells the student they need to know.

Teaching for Meaningful Learning #14
One of the main challenges is skills and knowledge of the teacher who implement this in there class.Since a lot of teacher do not know how to do it feel that it is unstructured.Also if the students do not have proper support,guidance, and structure then it doesn't help the students learn.This is just some of the reason this type of learning doesn't take off in all classrooms.
Leaning increases in leap and bounds.Johnson & Johnson said from the reading this "there are significant learning benefits for students who work together on learning activities." The reason is that lower level student learn from the upper level peers and do not feel left out.Forty years of research on cooperative learning, they identify five "basic elements" of cooperation that have emerged as important across multiple models: positive interdependence, individual accountability, structures that promote face-to-face interaction, social skills, and group processing. (edutopia Pg 11). This was found along in the reading and it tells a lot of the skill research has found that collaborative groups help students build.

Struggling Student
I am in a physical education class. The student I am watching is a mute student. The child can not speak, which makes it tough to get information across to the student. The main teacher uses flash card to get information to the student. The child also has a aid that helps with the interutation in class for the student. All this support should help the student be able to function in main stream class. The class mates do really well with the struggling student and know what the child want and helps him get it.
