Assessment

What is formative assessment? What is summative assessment? How can you use these types of assessment? How can you use instructional technologies to support assessment?


Formative assessment is formal and informal assessment that teachers give out to students while they are learning to modify the teaching that is happening to help students achieve to the best of their abilities.  Summative assessment is the assessment of learning and shows teachers the development of learners across a certain amount of time.  I can use these types of assessments to monitor progress that my clients are making over certain periods of time of therapy and use them to test how much they are learning or how my therapy is effecting them.  I can use instructional technologies to administer these assessments or to motivate students to want to learn more by getting to play on the computer to fulfill an assessment.

Professional Development

What are professional organizations for? Which are relevant to your field? Which might you join? What are the advantages of being a member? What are the costs? 


My professional organizations are the National Student Speech Language and Hearing Association and the American Speech and Hearing Association.  These two websites are linked together and are the national organizations that are directly related to my field.  They give information to us about our major and they give information to parents with children who have speech and hearing disabilities.  I believe I am going to join the NSSLHA association because I get to see inside information on job seeking and I get to be updated on new things throughout our field of work.  The NSSLHA website costs $60 but you get a discount for attending the national convention.
