If teachers assess their students’ knowledge before diving into an explanation, lesson, or unit, they might be surprised by the wealth of experience and information that students bring into the classroom. Encourage them to explain where they learned that information. I had the pleasure of working with teachers in Texas this week.

Assessments are the unloved orphan of schooling — no-one likes them. They are typically named as one of the most time-consuming activities for teachers, and debates continue on how effective current standards of assessment are in actually measuring what students know, vs. simply measuring teacher and school performance.

So many important lessons were learned during the pandemic that can be used to not only improve our practice but also to pave the way for a brighter future. One important lesson learned was that face-to-face learning does not meet the needs of every child. Students and families win as they have on-demand access to resources.

As elementary students learn how to read, teachers administer reading fluency tests and listen to students read passages. Nothing can replace this formal assessment, but it’s helpful to teach students to track their words per minute between these reading fluency assessments. This can be useful as they design lessons!
