Week 4- Ecomp 6202

We worked collaboratively on a project last week. Each person in a partner group had to create an assessment, use it to score the same collection of responses, and then compare their results to their partners scores. As an educator, I found the experience to be reassuring. It helped to justify how I examine students' responses and score them. My partner and I scored similarly 80% of the time. Our differences were mainly  due to the construction of our different assessment pieces.

Personally, this term is moving smoothly. I am only taking one course and find that with the end of the school year, I made a good choice to slow down a bit with the course work. When I take a course or courses each semester, I always wonder whether or not I will be able to utilize it in my current position. So far, I have not been disappointed, much of the course work is flexible and pertinent to the different age groups. I teach in an elementary school setting and I have been able to adapt the content I have learned towards our school curriculum and share it with co-workers.
