Lucky I got to see how Rosa Parks Elementary school assesses the children in their reading. This week the children were being pulled out of class to see if they have improved in their reading. While Mrs. Roark was assessing one child at a time the other children were doing busy work (they were filling out worksheets about Thanksgiving- “Why would you, why wouldn’t you), she only got to two children in the time that I was there because of the way they were getting tested.
Each child would read a book at the level that they were already at and Mrs. Roark would have them read different level books until she noticed that child was struggling with more than ten words. The only thing that didn’t seem very smart with the way the assessment was going was because she wasn’t getting a lot of children done. The process was taking too long, but I don’t know what else would work in order to get each child assessed.
Mrs. Roark would assess the children’s reading informally just by having then read their homework problems to her or during calendar time she would noticed who was struggling still with common words.
I think that would be the only thing that I’m not looking forward to because assessing takes too long to do.
