Anecdotal Notes

Student Rubric
Observation Checklist

Use questioning to access students’ prior knowledge and to monitor their understanding of concepts. Take anecdotal notes about students as they work and use these notes to monitor progress, provide feedback, and adjust instruction. If you note that a child is unable to master a skill (such as writing individual letters while writing on the whiteboard), make note of this and provide individual instruction later in the day. During group discussions, script exactly what students say in order to assess their speaking, listening, and ability to describe the concepts being taught. Schedule conferences with each student to make sure they are learning what they need to, answer any questions they may have, and assess individual progress at the time. Use an observation checklist to assess each child's progress during observations throughout the year.

Towards the middle of the year, distribute the student rubric and help students to self-assess their skills (this can be read to nonreading students). At the end of the year, ask students to assess themselves again and then celebrate the improvement they have made over the course of the year.
