Pre-assessing- Molly Fox

Molly Fox
After reading Chapter 4 from Science Teaching Reconsidered, I have four ideas that I can implement in my third grade classroom to pre-assess what students know.
1. Refer to a list of common misconceptions for the unit.
2. Group discussions
3. Probe and listen to students' thinking.
4. Have students explain (oral or written) their thinking- not as a way to grade but a way to identify misconceptions.
