I recently discovered two rather handy classroom assessment tools on Pinterest:
Rectangular cards
Circular cards
These double-sided cards are from Ateacherswonderland blog
I liked the design and wording of both. On one side pupils rate themselves on a scale of 1 to 4 (from Novice to Expert). On the other side they can tell you where they are, without causing a fuss. I incorporated the circular wording with the rectangular shape, reinforcing the punched edge with tape.
Example:
“I’m okay but may need help in a minute”.
I particularly like the fact that you don’t have to interupt or draw attention to a child to find out how they are.
These are my cards. I’m going to use them with my new classes this half term.
Thank you to Ronnie for sharing her idea.
