In addition, this case also brings forth the question of how early in their academic career should children be exposed to these types of tests. These tests were implemented to prepare students for their future middle school and high school careers. However, the role of elementary school is not limited to just preparing children academically, but it is also for nurturing social skills needed for students to communicate with their peers and helping children build confidence and esteem. These kind of standardized tests that were taken at Resembool may prioritize the role of academically preparing the students while sacrificing or demeaning other essential roles that elementary schooling must play.…

Standards are expectations of what children should know and be able to do by the end of the prekindergarten year; they are identified by a numeral (e.g., 1, 2, 3). A description of each standard is also provided. The Language, Communication, and Emergent Literacy domain and the Mathematical Thinking component of the Cognitive Development and General Knowledge domain include benchmarks for development. Benchmarks are more precise than standards and are set to reflect the level of skill and knowledge that should be demonstrated by a child at the end of the prekindergarten experience (when most, if not all, of the children would be five years of age). The purpose of these benchmarks is to establish goals for children that maximize their chances for success during kindergarten, first grade, and later instruction related to oral and written communication, reading, writing, and mathematical thinking skills. Stated another way, the level of skill expected within the benchmark reflects where a four-year-old would…
Accurate, automatic recognition of printed words drives the reading process (Morris, 2008). Spelling assessments play a vital role in this process and enhances the development of reading. These assessments also serve as an important tool when assessing the reading ability of students. When attempting to recognize any challenges students may face, spelling assessments are very useful. Dr. Bear goes into detail about spelling assessments and how they provide valuable insights about the reading development of students and goes into detail about the synchrony of literacy development. Dr. Brown also talks about primary and secondary reading difficulties along with the importance of teaching students where they are and at their actual instructional level. As students are assessed on their ability to spell, there are different levels to consider as they complete certain assessments. The levels include independent, instructional and frustration, which help in recognizing how well the students read and at what level the student struggles the most when spelling. Tompkins (2010) states that the choices students make as they spell words are important indicators of their knowledge of both phonics and spelling. With the use of spelling assessments and being able to identify the errors students make help with recognizing student development and making modifications in curriculum to get the students the assistance they need and move them to the correct reading level.…
The Reading comprehension and written expression subtests were given and scored. The Kaufman Test of Educational Achievement, Second Edition is an individually administered measure of academic achievement for ages 4 and a half through 25. The test is available in two versions: the Brief form which assesses the achievement of reading , mathematics, written expression; and the Comprehensive Form which covers a wide range of achievement domains and an analysis of students’ errors. The Kaufman Test of Educational Achievement, Comprehensive Form, Second Edition represents a revision of the Kaufman Test of Educational Achievement Comprehensive Form. The KTEA –II Comprehensive Form has an expanded age range and has retained the five subtests from the original KTEA and has modified to allow for testing of children and adults from preschool-age through college-age. Nine new subtests have been added to allow for assessment of a broad range of achievement domains and skills.…
Assessment is a valuable tool to measure students learning and achievement. It is an essential element for teacher to reflect on what and how they teach. To assess students is to collect evidence of their learning. Teachers use the information to modify their lesson plans and adjust their instructional methods; students need feedback on their performance to concentrate on their vulnerable areas. Assessment is necessary for parents to reinforce their children strength and assist them where extra attention is required. The data collected will inform school administration the parts of improvement that both teachers and students needed and for the state and federal levels, as is important to determine if additional funding is necessary to assist students in their learning and achievement.…
