- A method of understanding prior-knowledge of students is to assess what they already know by asking them specifically what they know about a certain subject or to have them write out what they know through a graphic organizer such as a KWL.
- It is important to establish anchors for a project because you are able to get a sense of where the students are starting and how well they are meeting their goals. As a teacher this is important for project-based learning because the students are doing so much independent work that we need to be checking in with them.
- Several ways to assess what students learned during the project is to use the standards set up from the different area disciplines. You could ask what they have learned, ask them for feedback, and not consider what you want to measure but how you will assess improvement.
- All of these things relates to my project because they are ideas I can use in my own classroom.

I agree that a good way to ask the child what they have learned is to ask for feedback and what you could improve. Also you could have them provide one thing they did learn.
ReplyDeleteYour post is very organized and easy to read. I agree that it is very important for us as teachers to figure out where each of our students are with understanding the material provided to them.
