I am really exciting with themes and material I found and discovered in the last five weeks: I realize I made some mistakes about evaluation. I have to grade the activities with " Numbers" this way of grading is not useful because It is only sumative and it is part of the customs. If you use other forms to grade the tasks for example A,B,C,D,E,and F the students and parents complaint about the new grades I want to use. The sudents are very happy when they see grades such as 20/20 or 18/20. I do not like to do tradional things about teaching so sometimes my students think I am an alien. Alternative assessment and Rubrics are important tools I am really interest to use in my courses.and Webquests give the opportunity to work closely teacher-students and get the best of me and my students
I want to shared this experince with my partners at highschool. If we spred this news we can improve English teaching.
I agree with you my friend,
ReplyDeleteWhat we have learnt must be share with our mates… one of the most important aspects is to use alternative assessment in our students and not only the regular written tests… what do you think

ReplyDeleteThe traditional grading system doesn't measure students' abilities to communicate. It's commonly used by the great majority of teachers. Sharing alternative assessmentwith teachers could help them change, and that will motivate students to learn.
Sorry I made a mistake in the first comment
