One specific area in which I learned a lot from in chapter 5 was the area titled “Selected Response Assessment //For// Learning”. Within this section it gives seven strategies for teachers to be aware of when assessing their students, especially when making the assessment. The author of the book is very straightforward and gives detailed examples of what is expected for selected response assessments. I feel that these assessments are very helpful for teachers and students. These types of tests give the students a different way of “seeing” the information. Hopefully the students will be able to comprehend the information on a higher level when they are being given different types of assessments to work with. **Strategies for Selected Response Assessments** Strategy 1: “Provide students with a clear and understandable vision of the learning target.” Strategy 2: “Use examples and models of strong and weak work.” Strategy 3: “Offer regular descriptive feedback.” Strategy 4: “Teach students to self-assess and set goals.” Strategy 5: “Design lessons to focus on one learning target or aspect of quality at a time.” Strategy 6: “Teach students focused revision.” Strategy 7: “Engage students in self-reflection and let them keep track of and share their learning.”
