Unit 1 Reflection: Myself as a Learner

1.  What do you know about yourself as a learner?
I know that as a learner I enjoy structure and visual aids, and if information is scattered or all over the place that I am going to have a hard time collecting my thoughts for assignments. 
2.  What has  impacted your life as a learner?
When I was a kid I asked a lot of questions, to the point of being annoying. I have realized that as an adult I have an itch for learning, and this was why I did and always will constantly ask questions throughout my life. 
3.  What score category did you get on your mindset quiz?
My mindset quiz score was 26/30, which means I have a strong growth mindset.
4.  What is the connection between your mindset and your experience as a learner?
It makes a lot of sense, because those that want to learn more often have an easier time learning because they enjoy it. I have almost always enjoyed school and learning new things, and will always want to learn more. 
5.  What steps are you taking to grow your mindset and become the learner that you hope your students will one day be?
I am making sure to keep asking questions, and to not shy away from new information even if it isn't something I necessarily want to hear or learn about. I hope that my future students will grow as learners with an open mindset.

What part of deriving a learning target was challenging for you?  What connection does the learning target have with assessment? I thought that taking multiple parts of a standard and breaking it up into multiple learning targets was challenging. It is sometimes hard to not try and combine everything into one big lesson, but I know that it is important to slow everything down so that students gain a better understanding in the end. Learning targets are mainly for the benefit of the student, because when students understand what they are supposed to be learning and where their skills should be by the end of lesson, they are not "flying blind" in their steps in getting to the target. I think that the learning targets are what set students up for assessments, and allows students to understand what they will be assessed on no matter how the assessment is given.

What are the pros and cons of the four different kinds of assessments in general? (For example, performance assessments can lead to poor data with a student with performance anxiety, just as a test can have the same impact for a student who struggles with test anxiety).   With the four types of assessment, each has their own pros and cons specific to students and the types of activities that you are teaching. Performance assessments are not great for knowledge mastery, but is great for reasoning proficiency, performance skills, and the ability to create products. Written response are good assessments for creating products, reasoning proficiency, and knowledge mastery, but not a great assessment for performance skills. Selected response assessments are good for knowledge mastery and reasoning proficiency, but are not great for assessing creating products or performance skills. Personal communication assessments can work for knowledge mastery, but will take time to use proper...
