Content Area Assessments
In my graphic, I chose to represent content area assessments through one of my favorite hobbies which is reading. Each (tiny) book represents a small part of the large book: Content Area Assessments. I chose the assessments/tests that stood out to me (as important) when reading chapter 3: running records, cloze testing, reading ability, self assessment, leveled texts, lexile scores, & standardized testing. Each smaller book represents a different method or test that could be used to assess a student. The teachers need each smaller book to effectively teach their students as many [of these assessments/tests] help the teachers understand their students ability levels. You will see a line drawn from the small book labeled 3 reading ability because this part of the chapter stood out to me the most as being something important to know about the students to make sure they are reading a "just right" book. You will see I have highlighted from the small book labeled 3 with question marks as we want to understand if they are reading a book that they can read independently without a teachers help, if they can read an instructional book where they can read most on their own but may need some support or instruction from the teacher, or is the book causing frustration for the student/is it too hard? As teachers we want to make sure students are reading a book they can both read and comprehend.
