Hello again,
I absolutely loved exploring app.easycbm.com for this unit, and I would like to start using the measures materials in my placement as soon as possible. I am teaching a resource room geometry course in Allendale High School, and this week I have learned the importance of assessing my students current levels of performance before teaching new content. After talking with my CT, I decided to start my geometry course by reviewing how to solve single-step equations with variables. On the first day I was eager to get started, but was quickly received with many groans from my students claiming they already knew the material. Shocked, I told them to humor me and complete the lesson. Although they were not as proficient in this skill as they claimed to be, I would not have needed to start with such an early skill. If I could go back in time, I would have used the measures materials from this website to assess where my students are regarding their mathematics performance instead of relying on my CT's word. This would have given me a better understanding as to where to start my lessons. Then, I could use the assessments throughout the semester to determine when students have mastered a concept so we could move on to the next topic. I could even store their scores on the website so I could easily reference their progress. Unfortunately, I was not able to explore all of the tools on the website because I do not have the Teacher Deluxe Edition. However, I would love to use the Instructional Intervention Creation tool offered on the website, so I would encourage my future school administrators to consider getting deluxe accounts for teachers.
