Prior Learning Assessment: A Challenging Self-Worth

Examples could be assessment of recognised prior learning, knowledge and skills for a mature or experienced worker who does not have the relevant qualification. Witness testimonies from current and former employers who may are experts in their field could be used. Observations and verbal questioning in the work environment may be more suitable for a manual working candidate than an academic candidate. An academic candidate may prefer to be assessed through written evidence or through a professional discussion with the assessor.

Compare and contrast the roles of the teacher and the learning support practitioner in assessment of learners achievements

As a tutor I will carry out various methods of assessment to maintain continuous improvement; I also involve my learners in the process.

My personal philosophy of assessment consists of several components. The first component is that both formative and summative assessment belong in the classroom. The second component is that, although teachers should teach what is on the STAAR tests, they should try to avoid just “teaching to the test” the entire year. I also believe that different forms of assessments should be used throughout the year. Finally, I believe that assessments should always be structured in a way that is fair to the students, and addresses all learning styles. Overall, tests belong in the classroom, but should not be the focus of instruction and should be fair for all students.

I use formative assessment throughout the process so that every time I interact with the candidate I assess their achievement of LO to guide the learning process which informs my decision about the next stage of learning and assessment. When I worked though the plan with candidates and that together we feel that all LO have been covered I conduct a final summative assessment of the portfolio as a whole. I give feedback on this assessment and make

For this assignment, I’ve been told to take several assessments which allowed me to get a better idea of my strengths, weaknesses, opportunities, and threats which may help or hurt me in the future. It allowed me to see what jobs that might fit me best such as a Labor Relations Specialist or Curriculum and Assessment Director.

The experience discussed in the Prior Learning Assessment demonstrates progressive growth in the health services management field. This learner has gained knowledge in management practices, healthcare regulations, and general leadership practices. The Health Care Administration program (HCAP) has further prepared this learner for an entry level clinic manager position. However, the overall goal is to continue learning and taking advantage of on-the-job learning opportunities that allows for further growth in this career field.

The classroom component includes employment preparation exercises including writing a resume, cover letter, and follow-up letter. You will be compiling a job seeker's portfolio and working on proofreading and editing. We also do mock interviews.

Pre-assessments are I important when it when it comes to teaching a lesson because it allows us to see what students already know from the lesson that is going to be taught. Pre-assessments also give students a preview of what they will learn from the lesson. Before I begin my lesson I will inform my students that we are going to start a new unit on literature in which it has to deal with the five senses. This is how my script will go: Hello class today we will begin to learn about the five sense. To first start off I would like to know what you guys know about the five senses. The first question would be: How many of you know what the five senses are? The second question would be: What sense do we use our eyes for? The third question would

Focus Reflection Assignment The first assessment was Career Planning Readiness. The scores ranged from 1 to 5, 5 being very prepared and 1 being not prepared. The first assessment was self and I scored a 5. This is one of the most important test because it identifies occupations that are compatible with your personal attributes.

This leaves new managers time to learn at their own pace and not have it rushed before their schedule becomes hectic with other administrative duties. The application consist of 5 modules to cover each skill set and will go into depth on the definitions, processes, forms, and tracking programs of each career. Links to pertinent publications will be provided in case the individual wants to read further into the material. At the end of each module there will be a test to ensure that individuals have learned important areas, especially ones that have legal consequences if mismanaged. If an 80% isn’t achieve on the tests, managers will have unlimited times to retest, but the application will randomize the questions to guarantee the individuals are learning the material and not the questions. Once achieved, incoming managers will have a core understanding of the skills, and regulations they are require to understand. This will allow them to focus on changeover as opposed to learning

Through experience, I’ve learned to pursue some employment opportunities over others. I’m not sure why, but some choices can be attributed to my parents, peers, social status and the environment. These influences can also be credited to activities that I participated in while growing up. For example, I enjoyed helping my mother care for my younger sibling; this is probably why my strongest interest on the RIASEC spectrum falls within the area of Education and training. Acquiring a Bachelor’s degree, or Master’s degree is required to work in any of the fields assessed on the spectrum, along with the determination and skills to fulfill the necessary requirements.

After reviewing the assessment data recorded in Project A, I created learning goals to aid my students. Only 38% of the entire class was able to answer at least two of the three questions that required them to decode unknown words. Therefore, one of my objectives focuses on using known words to decipher unfamiliar words in a sentence. This goal correlates with the Georgia Standard of Excellence: ELAGSE5RI4 (Georgia Department of Education, 2015). My pre-assessment consists of an article taken from ReadWorks (2015) on Abraham Lincoln. Section three of the pre-assessment demands the students to read a group of sentences and determine the most accurate definition of the bolded word. By accomplishing this goal, the students will be able to read more fluently, and better comprehend what they are reading.

Throughout the years that I have spent in the workforce and during my myriad attempts to complete a postsecondary degree, I have learned many things about myself and about the direction that I would like my career to take. In my most recent encounter with higher education, I was shown and given many tools to utilize in my journey. The most useful of these is the CSU-Global Career Center, which contains quite a few tools and resources of which students may take advantage. By delving through these resources and materials, I have been able to use self-assessment to reflect on my journey thus far and redirect my efforts to better prepare myself for success in the long run. This self-assessment and redirection has helped me to identify my strengths and weaknesses, and has enabled me to understand how to overcome my weaknesses and how to employ my strengths to continue to grow in my life and career.
