Multiple means of assessment means feedback can be delivered in a wide range of methods, in an age and contextually appropriate and also timely, manner. Immediate, whole class discussions following exams, self-evaluations through the use of a journal or pre-made evaluation sheet, and peer feedback, which prompts a collaborative model for learning, are all feedback tools teachers can use throughout assessment in order to improve student learning (Brand, Favazza and Dalton, 2012).
It is possible to use Multiple Means of Assessment in the unit ‘Place and liveability’ in a variety of ways. For one assessment task, students are asked to act as town planners. It is here that the task of the assessment can be adjusted so students have the choice to create a written report, deliver an oral report, create a visual art piece or use technology to deliver their understanding for assessment.

Examples of strategies that teachers can use when creating an inviting and non over stimulating classroom is using classroom furniture such as desks, tables and chairs in a variety of ways that work with the size of the groups during group work activities as shown in appendix _____, displaying students’ work in various ways, utilising wall space in an orderly, yet varied way to display these pieces of work as ‘texts’, in a display of what the students have learnt and their own understanding and providing a well-stocked, easily accessible area for all resources needed throughout the day (Anderson, 2016; Roskos and Neuman,
The documentary said each of these places had some part to play in how suburbs change and how that brought up landscapes which were not sustainable. The intended audience of the documentary is the public, especially those living in the Suburban communities. The
A good teacher does their best to make the classroom itself an inviting atmosphere, as inviting as you can make a classroom that is. The posters and pictures on the walls, the table and chair arrangement as well as the teachers desk are all items that are intentionally chosen and thoughtfully organized to make the environment as inviting as possible. Atwell says “when students enter my classroom in September I want the environment to make their brains itch” in other words she wants it to build a positive atmosphere that stimulates and promotes their creativity (Atwell, 35). She also mentions watching another teacher Mary Beth Owens, set up her room and noticed that her “arrangements were intentional and deliberate” which is something that she refers back to often when it relates to her own classroom (Atwell, 35). In this example, Mr. Avery does not think that the classroom design and layout have any bearing on learning and have no negative psychological effects on students, because it never seems to bother him.
There are many reasons why location, climate, and natural resoureces are important to Australia. Australia has a diverse climate, and many natural resouces. Most of this has to do with Australias location! Australia’s location is important to all of Australias features. Australias location also impacts who it trades with and where people live.
A suburb’s Culture of Place is expressed in its architecture, streetscape, heritage architecture, noise, colour, street life, energy, vitality and lifestyle. Pre-urban renewal, Pyrmont’s culture of place was highly reflective around its low-income blue-collar workers and primary and secondary industries. As the blue-collar workers moved out of the inner-city areas with the decentralisation of industry, Pyrmont’s culture of place directly correlated with its devastating urban decay, such as abandoned and vandalised buildings, boarded-up shops, unused port and transport infrastructure, and overgrown, rubble strewn lots where factories had been bulldozed. Following Pyrmont’s urban renewal, the culture of place has been significantly transformed and is now characterized by its heritage and gentrified architecture, lively streetscape with cafes and restaurants, vibrant colours, and very relaxed and cultured lifestyle. The suburb is scattered with green, open public space, which makes Pyrmont a somewhat green suburb.
A little town in the middle of nowhere is often seen as just a small backward little place. It does depend, however, on what such a place offers to those living there. For those who grow up in such a small place the treasures are endless. This is the place where you learn most of life’s lessons, if not all of them. Having grown up in a town that was really a compact city, made the greatest impression on my life.
Department of the Prime Minister and Cabinet (2012) in White paper pointed out that 21st century is the Asian century. Many Asian countries are growing rapidly and influencing all over the world. This is because, Asia is the most populous in the world so they will produce a large number of goods and services and numerous of goods and services are consumed by them in a few years. Australian economy, society and environment have been already changed in the Asian century. There are many opportunities for Australian economy and society.
Make sure to also challenge the children instead of making everything too easy for them. Keeping things that will interest the children so that they will come into class and want to learn. Make it exciting for them to want to learn is an important thing to do in my opinion. Give them opportunities to express how they feel or what they’re thinking. Divide the interests into groups of different play areas.
Although, all media platforms failed to implement the accurate element of urbanisation of the typical Australian. The colonisation and urbanisation of Australia first began when the first European settlers arrived and since then, the population has constantly been urbanising and developing. The thought of making the nation a more suitable location for future generations is constantly portrayed by
Introduction As the world’s population continues to migrate and live in urban areas, planners, engineers, and politicians have an important role to ensure that they are livable and sustainable. But what defines an urban area and what makes it so attractive? In my opinion, urban areas are places that consist of a variety of land uses and buildings, where services and amenities are easily accessible to the general public, and includes an established multimodal transportation network. Also, it should be a place where people can play, learn, work, and grow in a safe and collaborative manner.

U1 AC 2.1 - Explain ways to maintain a safe and supportive learning environment. A number of ways to establish a safe and supportive learning environment is to stay within what is deemed as conventional rules and disciplines. A typical class room layout is rows of desks and chairs facing the front, it is the usual expected layout for learners and encourages them to accept conformity, something as simple as sitting on the chairs facing the front of the classroom is reassuring to the majority that the class is safe. In days of yesteryear the students would be expected to stand up when the teacher entered the room and wait for permission to be seated, thankfully those days are in the distant past and now it is acceptable to remain talking until the teacher is ready to begin class.
The classroom that I will be observing is a Preschool classroom at KinderCare Learning Center in Bartlett, Illinois. The teacher I will be observing over the next period of time is Laura Sturgulewski. She has worked at KinderCare for 8 years, mostly in the 2 year-old room until fall of 2013, when she took the lead teaching position of the Preschool classroom. Her classroom mainly has 3 year-olds, but on occasion has a mix of 4 year-olds and transitioning 2 year-olds. The number of students in her class depends on the day, because they are a child care center some students have a part time schedule, unlike an elementary school where children attend every day.
Feedback is a significant element in determination of education quality as well as in effective learning where it portrays the learning outcomes for students and the successes for the tutors. There are many aspects that concern educationists with regards to feedback but the relationship between perspectives of learning as well as teaching and feedback stands as the most important among them. Feedback should be conveyed in different modes in a learning environment but whatever mode chosen creates room for dialogue between the tutor and students. Therefore, it is only through feedback that the student engagement relationship with the feedback as well as the tutors’ perceptions of learning, teaching and assessment that such successes can be established.
In order to encourage long-term social, as well as economic, investment in the area, the communities of the Queen Elizabeth Olympic Park are designed as ‘Lifetime Neighbourhoods’. The homes all meet Lifetime Homes standards, which means they have incorporated features and adaptability that ensure they will meet residents’ changing needs over time. The design of the Queen Elizabeth Olympic Park thus recognises that in order to become a healthy, sustainable part of the city, both urban and residential configurations must consider the evolving needs and desires of people throughout their
