Looking through the vocabulary for chapters 1-3, I used just a few from chapter 1. The "Look-say" method, the Zone of Proximal Development and anecdotal record keeping. The Look-Say method as stated in the textbook is a phonics approach that requires a child to learn as sight words which means that these words need to be memorized so they are recalled on sight. All of this makes total sense but I had just never heard it called that before.
The next word is the Zone of Proximal Development. I had heard of this before but never knew the meaning until I read through the chapter. This is a "zone"of what children can do on their own and their ability to solve problems. Going outside that zone is where they're learning something new that is out of their comfort zone and it challenging to them.
Lastly, I chose the anecdotal record keeping. It was listed under the types of formal assessment measures. It is used as a note taker/recorder for teachers to keep track of a students behavior or actions throughout the year. It keeps track of individual students' academic work, interests as well as their behavior. Whenever a students card becomes full, it will go into their personal portfolio. I really like this idea to keep throughout the year because I am terrible at remembering things and this tool will be perfect to look at at the end of the year to see how far a student has come academically and as a student.
Next weeks assignment will be to write the 100 DOK questions.
We did choose the same terms! The only reason I know about anecdotal note keeping is because I am doing it at my job currently. We use the COR preschool assessment at my school. We catch students displaying academics, social, or emotional behaviors. It's been very interesting to learn about and I honestly love this form of assessment for young children.
ReplyDeleteThe look say method was a new term for me as well, I had only heard the term sight words when girls started kindergarten. I new a lot about anecdotal note keeping from working at Head Start. I started with the paper and pen method but began using the Online COR in 2009. Online COR is a great way to track progress and growth, I loved giving the parents the parent reports during Home visits and Parent Teacher conferences.
ReplyDeleteI learned something new, Online COR. I'll be looking into that. I love seeing the vocab that is new to you, too. That helps me in future planning.
