In this chapter, I learned about accommodation criteria that are employed when judgments on

accommodations are being made, usage of teacher-designed tests, and differences in the

methods of assessment in the core subject areas of reading, mathematics, spelling, and writing

for beginning and advanced students are discussed.

To be successful, I think I need to learn more about the possible sources of difficulties that

might arise from the use of teacher-made assessments and the many ways that can be taken to

observation. In our roles as educators, we are required to maintain a high level of self- and

student-awareness. As stated in the reading, “Teachers are constantly monitoring themselves

and their students. Sometimes they are just keeping an eye on things to make sure 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)

We are able to keep our teaching approaches improving in order to better suit the demands of

our students since we have the capability to preserve data of observations.

My level of understanding regarding the topics presented in this module’s chapter are

manageable, yet there is potential for me to expand my comprehension. In the classrooms

where I have worked, one of my responsibilities has been to monitor and record the activities

of the children. Information pertaining to conduct, academic achievement, and interactions

with peers. The information that I have gathered has been prepared and presented in student

IEP sessions for the purpose of making any necessary adjustments and additions to the IEP.

What I liked best from this chapter scenario in assessment. The scenarios allowed me to

visualize myself in the situation and consider how I would react to various challenges along

the way. The ability to "role play" provides the opportunity to consider several courses of

action that can be followed to deal with a certain circumstance.

What I think I will use the most in my future or current classroom is data collection

throughout the school year in order to make proper accommodations to meet student needs.

Salvia states, “When making decisions about what to teach, it is important to collect

information about the student’s current skills in a way that the student can adequately

demonstrate his or her knowledge.” (Salvia, 20160201, p. 108) After reading this modules

chapters, and completing all the activities, I can discuss, explain, and demonstrate the criteria

for accommodations that are used when judgments on accommodations are being made are

discussed, as well as the use of teacher-designed tests and the differences in the methods of

assessment in the core subject areas of reading, mathematics, spelling, and writing for

beginning and advanced students. The learning activity that helped me more than any other

was the scenarios in assessment and chapter comprehension questions.
