Ways of assessing.

When we talk in class about assessment I first thought that we were going to do the same that we’re used to do in the major part of the subjects in University. At the beginning, the things that came up were things that I already knew. When we were the ones who had to decide the items in a rubric, the class became different. We had to choose what we considered that was needed to be evaluating in our PLE presentation. We wrote the criteria we wanted at the top of the rubric. Some examples were said to the rest of the class. We voted which one was the more adequate for us and we copied it. 

We talked about the fact that evaluation with positive and constructive language is very powerful. As teachers, we don’t want children feel disappointed or frustrated, that’s why we must decide what words and expressions are more likely to be used in class.
