This presentation was full of fun activities and opportunities to show our knowledge and thoughts about a variety of educational issues. The activities - board games, skits, and Glee think-alouds - were motivating and thoughtful. Thinking about the issues that are implicated in the No Child Left Behind Act brings up many discussion topics - the topics of bilingual students and students who move into a class during their school careers really don't seem to have "official" answers or methods of solving problems in the classroom.
Working through alternative assessment techniques and strategies was a really great activity. It was good to work both with an individual student, where assessment can be tailored specifically to that student's needs, and with a full class environment, where instructors must find an total assessment technique that meets the needs of all of the students in the class.
