Blog entry #4 managing assessment

 In the classroom I have been observing, I have seen a few ways the teacher has assessed the classroom. One was that he had the kids go into two groups and split up the classroom. He had each group come up with a group chant and whichever team used the most team work and which team had the best ability to perform would get a certain number of blocks that would go towards their field trip. When the kids were don't they did their chant and each team used their teamwork to the best of their ability but one team was better, he then rewarded them with their blocks.
           Another form of assessment I have seen in that class is my first day that I visited, they were all taking a multiple choice test, to test their skills in certain subjects. It was a placement test to make sure the kids were at the level they needed to be for that grade level. They were in the computer lab taking the test and the children were raising their hand for the teachers help if they didn't understand a question or needed a little extra assistance. The kids seemed to mostly understand and I didn't see a lot of hands raised.
