     As a learner I think that I am a very visual learner, I do not do well just reading straight text book information because sometimes it is hard for me to keep focus especially if it is content that I am not super interested in. I do well working with other students and like to ask questions when I have questions in class, those are two things I greatly miss since it is a little different not being in class. Collaborating with my peers is something that defiantly helps me learn and process content that can be challenging for me.    

     There are a few things that have impacted me as a learner but I think the most important thing to me is the teachers that I have had and how they treated me as well as the classroom environment. First and foremost feeling like you are in a safe and welcoming environment is super important and was important to me as a student and my success. The teachers that I had played a big role in my learning as a student because when I had a teacher that believed in me and was super helpful and would do anything to help me understand the material my learning was ten times better than when I had teachers who didn't make that extra effort to be helpful and make me feel welcome and important.     

Some challenges I currently face as a learner is learning online, it is overall a big challenge and a whole new learning environment. One of the biggest challenges that comes along with online schooling is time management. Balancing school and work can be a challenge especially when you are not in class working on your school work but trying to do it on your own time. Something I will do to try and overcome these challenges is keep a planner and write a list each week of what I have due. Planning my assignments and when I will do them will defiantly help me this quarter.

    Oh my I can totally agree with you! Visual learning is the best, collaboration and working with groups is the easiest way to focus on the assignments given to you. Teachers will always make a impact in your life if they know how to teach right and open your eyes in different situations.Staying in a safe environment while learning could make your progress in learning great. Challenges are always going to faced in my opinion when learning how to do assignments online. This is the reason as to why I believe that we should be on campus learning. So the example of your planner is great because I believe that we should always be focus and learning.

Which kind of assessment was the most difficult to create and why? In my opinion the hardest assessment for me to create was either the selected response or the performance assessment. The selected response was difficult for me because I was trying to come up with enough multiple choice questions, true false questions and matching without having the questions overlap. The performance task was a little difficult for me as well because it was difficult for me to come up with a performance task for a lesson on character descriptions, setting and plot. Which one was the easiest and why? I personally thought that the easiest assessment was the written response just because I had my students just write a descriptive piece and I thought it was a little bit easier to come up with an assessment when it comes to writing cause you can pretty much have your students write about anything. What was something that surprised you about creating assessments? One thing that really surpr...

Consider how things are going in your placement, how you are growing as an educator, and/or what you still need to work towards as you continue your growth as an educator. I am not currently placed but I am working on getting placed somewhere closer to home on the west side of washington, I am hoping for the best that we will get to go into the classroom sometime soon and everything will work out with getting me placed over here. I feel like I am growing as an educator is so many ways every single week, in all of my classes I am either introduced to a new area od teaching or I am learning skills to deepen my undertstanding of subjects we have been learning about. I belive there are still many different things that I can work on to continue growing as an educator. My main points of focus for things to work on would be my lesson plans, espically the detials in the lesson plans and how to make my lessons all different and interesting for my students. I am excited to contine to learnin...

I believe that my understanding of assessment is growing more and more every week in this course. Before this class I did not know much about assessments, I knew there were assessments such as the SAT, WASAL and then in class assessments but I did not know very much more than that. Throughout the past few weeks I have learned what makes an assessment validity, reliability and biases in assessments. This week specifically made me think back to assessments that I have had during my schooling and what some of my teachers did that ended up making those assessments invalid and biased. I have also learned a lot about how to give assessments and what types of information should be included throughout my different classroom assessments. The information that I have learned about assessment so far is going to be incredibly helpful as a future educator. Assessments are a big part of teaching and I am going to need to know what I should or should not do in terms of assessment to mak...
