In this chapter, I learned about the application of accommodation criteria in different scenarios, such as making a judgment on accommodation, the use of tests designed by teachers, and the differences in methods of core subjects such as mathematics, spelling, and writing for both beginners and advanced learners.
To succeed, I need to learn more about the possible causes of challenges that stem from using assessments designed by teachers and the different ways to improve teacher-designed tests. As an educator, I must ensure we have both student and self-awareness. The reading states, “Teachers are constantly monitoring themselves and their students. Sometimes they keep an eye on things to ensure that their classrooms are safe and goal-oriented, to anticipate disruptive or dangerous situations, or to keep track of how things are going in a general sense.” (Salvia, 20160201, p. 134). Therefore, as educators, we should improve ourselves and the learning system.
My level of understanding regarding the topics presented in this module’s chapter is average, and I have room to expand my knowledge of the concepts. I have experience in teaching, and as I continue implementing the ideas learned, I will better comprehend the chapter. For example, in the different education settings I have worked, I have dealt with various tasks such as recording children’s activities and using the information to prepare IEP sessions.
What I liked best from this chapter is the scenario in assessment. The scenarios allowed me to visualize myself in such scenarios and how I would respond to them and handle them. What I think I will use the most in my future or current classroom is data collection to ensure that I have adequate information, which I can utilize in making adjustments in the classroom to ensure all my learners have a comfortable learning environment.
After reading this module’s chapters and completing all the activities, I can discuss, explain, and demonstrate the criteria for accommodations used in the classroom and teacher-designed tests. The learning activity that helped me more than any other was the comprehension questions and scenarios in the assessment. They helped me get a better understanding of the content.
