The classroom has been setup to allow for each child to have individual goal to accomplish. The instruction is delivered in a manner that takes each child’s ability and needs to be taken into account. I have a morning group and an afternoon group of preschool students. The two classes are smaller than the average class size for a typical elementary class. I also have two paraprofessionals that work within the classroom to assist in providing instruction and support. This allows the classroom to be set up to differentiate for the various needs.
I pondered upon this question longer than I usually do for the weekly assignments. I thought about how I could bring choices into my assessments to promote student choice and meet each child’s multiple intelligence. I came to the conclusions that I could give the students more choices when they draw a self portrait which allows me to assess their abilities. I have created a rubric for the self portrait drawing. The student will be the one to determine which method they will use to create the drawing: iPad, paper/pencil, Promethean board, sculpture, or watercolor painting.
