Well let's get started shall we? Now what are formative and summarize assessments? Formative assessments are given through the learning process and gives you better insight about how your students are progressing and how they are doing when it comes to trying to meet their goals. Summative assessments I'm the other hand are given at the end of a unit or year and assess how they are progressing to achieving mastering a certain topic. You can use a formative assessment by doing something as simple as a q&a session with students at the end of a lesson. Summative assessments can be done by giving quizzes as final exams. I can tell if they are valid and reliable by keeping track of both my results and my progress charts. Finally I can tell if my sources are reliable by looking at the .edu,and .org websites for checking their reliability.

BPH is FINALLY done!!!

Praise the Lord Hallelujah we are finally done with our BPH! Lord knows that we put a lot of blood, sweat, and tears into this project and it has finally paid off. I can't be 100% positive about the number but I'm almost positive that it's Standard 4, which is where we have to know what we are going to be teaching and honestly I think that there is no better example of this Standard. I mean honestly we have to be a jack of all trades when it comes to finding and using strategies that will be successful in the classroom. I definitely learned a lot about some great resources that I wouldn't have otherwise and call me crazy, but in the end I am very glad that we had to do this project
