Chapter 10 - Assessment Style

Pick two types of assessment and explain how they work, and  why you would choose these assessment styles over others.

I think that in my elementary classroom I will use Peer Assessment and Self-Assessment.  I think that peer feedback can be very helpful to raise the effort and work that a student will put intot the work.  I think that if students are also given the chance to rework their assignment after the assessment then they can incorporate their peer's ideas into their work.  These ideas may have sparked something to improve their assignment that they hadn't thought of before.  I think that self-assessment would be very benefical for students to learn.  There was a girl in the third grade class I was volunteering in last semester and she would always raise her hand to see if her answer was correct or her ideas were expanded on enough.  I think that students like her would be helped greatly by learning to evaluate their own work and assess themselves internally, without always deferring to the teacher.
