Inspiration for this blog comes from a class project I am currently trying to complete. I am to "develop an information presentation for other middle school teachers about how to effectively use formative assessment in the classroom." I racked my brain trying to determine what would be applicable to me and my situation.
Aha! I can share what I've learned with my colleagues and the parents from KCA, a university-model, resource school for those who home school their children. Because I am quite excited about all the new ideas I'm learning from the research I'm doing, I feel, quite humbly, that this information would be helpful, especially to parents who instinctively know what their children need, but may be overwhelmed with all that is out there. This will be one less thing for them to have to research.
Because these are new and fresh ideas (as of today), maybe this information will be helpful for my colleagues, who (I'm assuming) are so busy actually TEACHING, they might not have time to do the research.
The next blog post will begin my presentation. Please enjoy. And, since this is basically about feedback, I would be some serious kind of hypocrite if I did not welcome YOUR feedback. . .and I do!
