IRIS Assessment Questions
1.
What are content standards and benchmarks, and how are they used?
Content standards are used to give a clear outline of what the students will
need to complete in any content area. Content standards are what is
supposed to be taught in specific content areas such as math, science,
history, reading, and language arts. These standards will help the teachers by
giving them the specific topic that the children are supposed to learn.
Benchmarks will allow the teachers to check and see the student's progress
over what he/she has taught in the classroom. It allows them to see their
strength and needs and to see if a student may need some remediation.
2.
Which student learning characteristics should teachers identify before
developing instruction? Why is this important?
Teachers should learn a
student's strengths, where they may need some improvement, interpersonal
and social behaviors, interests, home language and second language issues,
their learning preferences, and most of all some background knowledge.
This is important because as a teacher you need to make sure what you
teaching and how you teach will affect your students, will it help them, or do
you need to teach this a different way? Should I have more hands-on
activities? You need to make sure that the way you teach will help every
student.
3.
Describe the information-processing model of learning.
This process is
usually divided into 3 stages. The first one is receiving information, if a
student isn't paying much attention, then the information will be placed into
short-term memory and the teacher will have to learn how to keep the
student's attention so it can be placed in long-term memory. The second one
is connecting information to prior knowledge. There are several ways to
move the information into long-term memory some include organizing
memory and repeating the information over and over. The last stage is using
the information, you could play learning games that are over the topic so that
the student will remember the information.
4.
Adapting instruction is important. Discuss two reasons why this is so.
Adapting instructions is important because you may have some students
with disabilities and you need to make accommodations to help the student
learn what you may be teaching, perhaps teach it differently for that student
or have other practice sheets to help him. Having adaptations to your
instructions will help a student who just needs that little extra help rather
than being behind throughout the school year.
5.
Name three components of a good assessment.
The 3 components of a
good assessment include showing where the student is at as far as what you
have taught, how well they know what you have taught, and how well they
would be able to help another student.
6.
Describe three stages of the instructional cycle.
The 3 stages of the
instructional cycle include, 1. Intended instructional outcomes this is
identifying what will be addressed in the unit and what the content standard
will be about. 2. Planning, this is what activities a teacher will have planned
for the students. Lastly, the assessment is where the teacher will identify if
the students have met the criteria that he/she has taught.
7.
What should guide teachers’ planning to meet the needs of all students?
By using the curriculum planning guidelines this will allow the teachers to
ensure that the students with disabilities will receive the same content as the
other students that don't have disabilities.
8.
How should teachers identify lesson topics to include in instruction?
The
topics that a teacher uses should be from the standard-based curriculums that
the school or district has given them. Other more specific topics may come
from the students' questions or interests.
