5.+Instruction+and+Assessment

**__Instructional Strategies:__**
John Antonetti presented this to our school division and I try to actively incorporate it into my classroom practice. I like how high yield strategies, engagement, and Bloom's taxonomy are all incorporated. One of the things mentioned by Antonetti at one of the sessions I attended is how the cube is based on what the student is doing.

**__Brain-based Learning:__**
I try to include activities best suited to how the brain functions. The video below from Brain Rules has really changed my view on how exercise and activity need to be incorporated into every lesson.

**__Assessment:__**
--students need to be assessed clearly on the outcomes from the program of studies --students need to know what those outcomes are and the activities used to instruct them --students should self-evaluate and help create rubrics whenever possible --formative assessment/assessment for learning should be a part of every lesson --assessment data drives my teaching; Can I move on? Who needs more review? --a good website for assessment: Anne Davies
