During the development of my course, I have found that it took time to research and curate credible articles, videos, and information. I also, would have liked to have had a textbook to reference, but did not feel that I had time to research textbooks. However, I did end up locating some great articles and videos over Guided Reading to use in my professional development coarse.
I also struggled with determining how to assess learners throughout the coarse. I used discussions for pre-assessments to assess learners prior knowledge of the different aspects of Guided Reading. I then tried to use a variety of activities for assessments. I used reflection essays and presentations, video recordings, and Padlet. I wanted to use the COVA approach, so I decided to give learners the option of presenting their work by whatever platform decided upon. Bates suggests using computer based multiple choice questions, essays and short answers, project work, simulations, educational games, and eportfolios (Bates, 2015). I chose video assessments so that learners could have an opportunity to work hands-on with students. I am hoping having discussions and Padlet posts develops collaboration and that the videos and reflection essays helps learners be engaged. Resouce Bates, T. (2015).
