Another bad example of the aftermath of standardized testing is cramming, which some might do as a result of the lack of concern with studies. “I can no longer cooperate with a testing regime that I believe is suffocating creativity and innovation in the classroom. We are not really educating our students anymore. We are merely teaching them to pass a test. This is wrong.

From adjusting their style of teaching to creating revamped lesson plans and getting familiar with new textbooks, to attending professional development meetings on and off campus, the transition has been a challenge. When most people think about mathematics, they think about computing numbers and symbols. Mathematics is more than just that, and the CCSS is making sure we are all aware of that fact. As discussed by Mongeau (2014) “By removing memorization standards and requiring teachers to cover fewer topics over the course of a year, the new standards are also meant to encourage teachers to spend more time on the underlying concepts behind mathematical concepts.” The end result of this will be that memorization will no longer be enough to meet the CCSS’s subject content.

The Effect of Research-Informed Reflective Sessions on the Quantity and Quality of Teachers ' Corrective Feedback on Students’ Paragraph Writing   Chapter Ι Background and Purpose Writing is the most complex skill for second language learners. This difficulty can not only be attributed to creating and organizing new ideas, but can also be extended to the ability to transfer ideas to the appropriate context (Richards &Rendayana, 2002). Many factors are involved in process of writing that intensify the complexity of writing skill. Factors like mastering the elements of grammar, vocabulary, mechanics, content, organization and style are only few areas to consider in second language writing process (Hyland, 2003).

This chapter can help young writers in English class with their papers in many different ways. For instance, Trimble gives examples on what a veteran writer does in order to make their writing interesting. He also gives out techniques on how you can get a reader’s attention or how you can fix your writing to make it readable instead of having nonsense. What makes this difficult for me as a writer is that I write what ever comes to my mind and it will not make sense. Another thing that makes it difficult for me as a writer is that I am not good at getting the readers attention and having him hooked on to my work.

Due to that I have seen the difference between grade school, high school, and college writing skills. In grade school, children are being taught how the school and teachers want the papers to be written. According to that teachers particular writing style preferences. Thus, not fully allowing students to fully become creative and excited about wanting to do a particular writing assignment. While a student is in high school and in college most of the students have a set foundation of skills about writing styles.

Introduction Many teachers are worried when faced with the task of teaching a multi-grade class-which refers to ‘the teaching of different Ages, Grades, and abilities,’ (Little, 1995). Due to the wide range of ages, abilities, maturity and interests in a multi-grade classroom, the teacher may not know how: organize the classroom, plan lessons, using the curriculum, create time table and lead or supervisor students of varying ages and abilities, at once. This can be extremely difficult, especially for a new teacher who has just being introduced to the principles of multi-grade teaching. However, with proper planning and organization multi-grade teaching can be very advantageous for both the students and the teacher. In this diverse classroom, there can be benefits of the older students assisting younger ones in group activities and otherwise; multiple intelligent is being catered for by the teacher and other students will be getting the experience; students may become better at independent learning and develop a greater sense of responsibility, these and

Sometimes literature circles might become a monotonous and repetitive activity. For instance, Lloyd (2004, p. 115) and Calderón (2010, p. 27) complain that their students filled in their role sheets mechanically and some of them did not even participate in the discussions. Literature circles have to be lively and spontaneous, but above all, they should be in English. There is a possibility that EFL students use their first language to talk to each other, especially if the teacher is not present. For Hill (1992, p. 42), the students’ overuse of their mother tongue is one of the main issues of book discussions in EFL classes.

However, the biggest drawback of continuous assessment is that “Too many assignments may result in justice not being done to them all” (“Assessment”). Students can be overwhelmed by the quantity of assignments they need to complete in short periods of time. However, this disadvantage is easily resolved if professors allow for the pacing of students as they go through the learning process. Continuous assessment allows for “Fairness, accuracy and consistency in assessment” (“Continuous Assessment

- it is difficult for me to plan a class, because it takes a lot of time and also, it is difficult for me to imagine what is probably what the students already know and identify what could be complicated in class and what would be the solutions to those problems - Another thing is that the teacher needs to make a good environment between the students and the teacher because if not, some students are not going to talk or participate, so it is very important aspect. - When I am making the worksheets, the flashcards, I think they are easy but when I am teaching I feel that are a little bit confused, and the students get confused with the activities because I do not give the instructions

The College Board SAT has received many mixed reviews from fellow students, parents, and even teachers about its effectiveness for college admission. The SAT writing portion in particular affects juniors and seniors who are thinking about and applying to various colleges and universities. Generally speaking, when junior year rolls around, the stress and anxiety builds up when preparing for these standardized tests. Many, including myself when I went through the process, worry about the preparation needed, strategies needed to be learned, and ability of whether or not one is able to sit through the dwelling three-hour exam. In addition, we must take into consideration that some people naturally test better than others on these types of exams.

Many struggling readers in middle school are disengaged from reading. In addition to low achievement, these students can have low motivation for reading. Many factors contribute to disengagement in middle school. Reading instruction is often disconnected from content, making reading tedious. Textbooks are formidable, and students are expected to respond to text with formal criticism or outlining rather than personal reactions.

Mike Watanbe, a researcher, found that “…writing has “become less” like a real writer writes’ in that the focus of writing has shifted to form over content and product or process” (cited in Au, Gourd 14-19). These mandated tests causes the voive of the studnets to not be heard. The content inside the essays have lost the meaning and is all about the product and to pass the test. Therefore, high-stake testing should be reevaluated to save the meaning of

In my essays I would have all kinds of run on sentences and comma splice errors. I would be looking over my paper and I would not see any issues with how it was worded. When someone else would read it, they would get stuck on sentences and become confused. While reviewing my drafts for each essay, I started to get tougher on myself on each essay as the class progressed. I started to dig deeper before I would call the essay ready to turn in for the final draft.
