7B and 7C

7B 

The first thing while flipping through before I was reading was standardized test. I believe that those are crap. I am an untraditional college student who is still trying to pass my ACT's. which is crap, because i have already received my associates degree. so i believe that those tests do not track or show progress at all, and they should be thrown out the window. for someone who has very high test anxiety, i understand how students feel. they need a safe, quiet, non stress environment while taking tests. even doing an nontraditional test, maybe just having a conversation with the student about the information that was on the test. there are different ways to test children with high anxiety. while in my field experience, i saw that when the second graders took tests, certain students had to move and they also had blockers, however, blockers might be silly for middle school i think allowing only a certain amount of children in an area while testing and also different versions of tests. in my classroom, i will have different versions of the tests so every other person had a different test. with this you can easily tell who is still cheating by the answers are wrong with the people who sit next to each other.

Now the different types of test, i think that true or false statements are ridiculous. they can be so tricky that it could be either or. and lets be honest students have a 50/50 chance on getting it correct by guessing. i think that an essay form is better way because they take the knowledge that they learned and explain certain topics with their own feelings. as a teacher i would want to know how my students feel and react to a certain topic. and also i like the matching assessment. i think it is a great way to test and quiz on vocabulary and certain terms. but all other types are useless, in my opinion. in my future classroom i will mainly use matching and essay.
