How can CFQ's help support my student's learning?
CFQ's or Curriculum Framing Questions provide students with a guide. It steers not only them but the teacher into the right direction. The questions give both parties (teacher and student) an opportunity to search for more in the lesson just by evaluating a general, semi-specific, and specific question set. The answer to one of these three types of questions can be very elaborate and even evolve into more inquries about the subject. At minimum, CFQ's give meaning to any given unit for the teacher and student.
How can I plan ongoing assessment?
Testing is repetitive, necessary, and overwhelming. It is good and bad. There is a matter of how to assess that determines the success of students on those assessments. Creating a chart could be a possible effective means of assessing students without constantly testing them. Basically, asking students to perform a variety of tasks (journal, report, create questions, recite, teach a peer) within a timeline could serve its purpose if students were constantly given points based on the task performed. A point system can be instrumental if you base the students overall achievement (grade and skill level) on accumulated points at the end of a unit.
