- I aligned instruction with assessment by basing lessons and centers on Gold Teaching Standards to gage what students know and what they still need to learn. This allowed me to rate children on the progress they have made, in order to see the growth that they have made from the start of a school year.
Guides students in goal setting and assessing their own learning.
- I guided students in goal setting and assessing their own learning by using Child Initiated Guided Interactions (CIGI). During this time I would provide materials to students in a science center, they then would discover something that was problematic based on the goals of the center. The students would then use their knowledge to find ways to try to solve the problems, or come up with new materials they thought may be beneficial in helping them reach a goal.
