Assessment and Teaching in German Language Class in the Netherlands.Bart Pardoel
The teacher uses 10 different types of assessments in their classroom that range from traditional to more alternative approaches. Some assessments are used frequently while others are used occasionally. Most assessments are summative and designed internally, with the teacher providing feedback. While most assessments are individual, some incorporate group work or peer assessment. The teacher aims to improve assessments by incorporating more formative and diagnostic testing as well as improving peer assessment.
This presentation explores effective exam preparation strategies. It recommends creating a revision timetable to help organize study goals and avoid time wasters. The presentation also discusses different learning styles and provides tips for visual, auditory, and kinesthetic learners. Key advice includes looking at past exam papers to anticipate questions, organizing notes well before the exam, and revising topics efficiently rather than trying to cover everything at once.
The document discusses various approaches to student assessment, including periodic achievement tests, portfolio assessment, end-of-course tests, and external examinations. Periodic achievement tests track student progress and provide feedback in a low-stress manner. Portfolio assessment allows students to work at their own pace and receive periodic feedback. End-of-course tests should test covered material and include different question types and marking criteria. External exams provide clear targets but may not suit all purposes or prioritize the most important areas.
Positive body language such as making direct eye contact, smiling, nodding, fully facing students, and having an open and relaxed posture can help build rapport with students and signal that the teacher is approachable and engaged (1). This helps create a positive classroom environment and relationships with students (2). When students feel respected and supported by the teacher, they are less likely to act out or misbehave (3).
This document provides guidance on procedures for speech language pathology (SLP) student success team (SST) meetings. It outlines a multi-tiered SST process including a pre-SST where the teacher consults resources to determine if speech concerns are developmentally appropriate. For SST I and II, the teacher works with parents, team members, and specialists to develop and monitor classroom and home interventions over 5-6 week periods. SST III involves an office-level meeting with an administrator to review intervention results and address remaining concerns, potentially recommending a formal evaluation. The goal is to provide appropriate support through general education interventions before considering a special education evaluation.

Ben continues to struggle with communication, in

Ben has continued to manage his time well, often
splitting his day to come into the lab for time-
sensitive activities such as setting up fish or
attending meetings.
He has recently taken on responsibility for screening
some important fish lines which has required
learning some difficult new techniques including:
Sexing and pair-mating fish
Treating fish with drugs to induce fluorescence
Screening fish using fluorescence microscopy
Whilst it was clear that Ben struggled initially, I think
this was mainly as a result of his reticence to ask
questions, not due to any lack of ability.

making sure no fish go over 5 days post fertilisation if
not legally allowed
The systems that we have put in place to monitor
Ben’s daily tasks seem to be working well. There
remain instances where I have to ask Ben to perform
particular tasks but, generally speaking, these tend
to be the less important tasks that could have waited
a few days before becoming urgent. I would hope
that over the coming months, Ben will begin to pre-
empt such things.

labs and keeping up on the amount of consumables

Performance Review
Ben has made a great deal of progress during the past 4 months and is working independently much of the
time.
Ben has been screening some of our fish lines over the past few months. This has entailed him learning some
new techniques and using new pieces of equipment. Ben has successfully identified homozygous adult fish
which will remove the need for individual lab users to screen fish each time they use them. It is my hope that
we may be able to rely on Ben undertaking some more work of this kind in the coming months.
