Field Experience 14 - 4/3/2012

Assessments Of Student Learning
Today in class was another day of gymnastics. There were several more stations added to the previous courses. This time me and my partner would be assessing the forward roll down a decline mat. The course itself was Indiana Jones themed. Music from the movie Indiana Jones would be playing as kids quickly made their way through the course. We would have students come up to the mat and grab a bean bag ball. They would stand on top of the mat with the ball pinned between their chin and chest. This was so that kids remembered to tuck there head to avoid injury. Each student would perform the task three times. We would use a holystic rubric that we previously made to determine each child's performance. Many of the kids were pretty good at performing the skill. They would move on to the next task without any hesitation. There was only a select few students that were slightly intimidated and struggled performing the skill. The assessment will be put into an Excel spreadsheet. We now have some time off for easter break to get ahead on the curriculum project.
