Listening Assessment

As Soldiers, Leaders, and Non-Commissioned Officers communication has always been a significant factor in our profession. Effective listening is a key step in communicating, as leaders; we must understand the different types of listening in order to improve our communication. Communication begins within our squad, our unit, and ourselves. Effective listening is increased and implemented when communicating with others.

In addition, J.K was administered the Oral Discourse Comprehension component of the WIAT III Listening Comprehension subtest. She was asked to listen to one or more sentences from a CD and then answer some questions. This was done to assess her receptive language skills at the sentence and discourse level.

I will walk around the classroom taking notes about each students’ progress, while they work independently and during guided practice. On students desk there will also be colored cards to explain where each student believes they are. A green card will explain that the student understands it, a yellow card means they understand some of it, and red means they do not understand how to complete the work. Data will be kept on a chart with every students’ name. This assessment will show me where additional accommodations may need to be made; therefore, meeting the needs of students with exceptionalities. If I notice a student not being able to understand how to solve the problems, accommodations can be set to help students understand what they are working

assessments for monitoring student learning during the lesson (e.g., pair share, use of individual whiteboards, quick quiz)

I have always been told that am not very good at listening, therefore, I choose the skill of listening as a means of evaluating myself and observing how this skill is used by me and towards others whom I have contact with. During this process I decided to take the Self-Assessment 8.3: Active Listening Skills Inventory offered on the website http://highered.mheducation.com.

In my assessment these students will be evaluated consistently my me and the instructors at Hillcrest elementary school. The students will be evaluated on how to continue his/her next steps within the school. Input will be given to the student at the school for data so they can learn more by adapting to their own personal experiences. I will first do a walk-thru of the classroom in starting my assessment. I will visually be able to check on my student’s progress and really understand the students. Next I will use a checklist to compare and see if the student is progressing or not. Criticism feedback won’t be seen as a problem but would be seen as a guide to understanding and achievement inside of the classroom. Lastly and most important I will give out a summative assessment to assess the knowledge of problem solving skills. The specific end goal is to persuade students to become long lasting learners inside and

This week we were instructed to partake in a listening style quiz that would reflect what our listening styles are. Through the Listening Styles profile, I learned that there are four different types of styles one may have and use when communicating and listening with others. There is usually a dominant style that represents the listening style you use the most. The other styles show how likely you are to use them by the rating of your score. My scores were revealed as, people – 11, action – 4, content -7, and time – 6. What this shows is that people is the style I am most likely to use when listening to others.

The ability to listen well is an important tool for understanding others. Sadly, very few people know how to listen well. In fact, most people can think of only one or two good listeners in their lives. Listening is not simply agreeing - it is much more. Good listeners are able to better understand and respond to others, complete assignments accurately, settle disagreements before they escalate, and establish rapport with difficult people.

Active listening includes a variety of behaviors which communicate to the other that they are heard and understood, that the feelings which underlie the words are appreciated and accepted, and that regardless of what the individual says, thinks or feels, they are accepted as a person by the listener. Active listening demands that the receiver of the message put aside the belief that listening is easy and that it happens naturally and realize that effective listening is hard work.

Good listeners are prepared to listen, show interest, keep an open mind, listen critically, resist distractions,
