1. Assessment in Action — Certificate (PDF)

On October 17th, I attended a presentation called “Assessment in Action”. The session was dedicated to informing pre-service teachers about the importance of assessment over evaluation and reshaping the meaning of the word assessment so that we are able to see the value in it and use it as a tool for good pedagogy. Many different assessment strategies were talked about, as well as the different assessment types, but I think one of the most important takeaways from the seminar was that assessment isn’t just a way to assess students learning to gauge understanding, but it is also a way to assess your teaching and a tool you can use to adapt your teaching styles and strategies.

2. Static Stations (PDFs)

On November 18th, 2025, I brought my science 9 students up to the lab to do some static electricity activities. I had set up 5 stations and split the class into 5 groups of 5 to rotate to each station to observe the different aspects of static electricity in action. Following the activities in the lab, my associate teacher and I reflected on what went well and what could be improved upon if the lab were to be done again. I intend to do lots of activities of this sort with my future students in various subjects. I believe that hands on experience is incredibly important for learning as it applies the concepts talked about in class in a way that is visibly and physically perceivable for all student learning types and preferences.
