After
reading the blog “Make Them Fix It” by Terie Engelbrecht my view on students’
learning has changed. In her blog she states that, “In order for her students
to really learn, they have to learn that fixing what’s wrong is a part of the
process.” Now I understand why it’s important for teachers to encourage their
students that it is a matter of I’m still learning, and I have to work towards
getting it right. We as teacher have to give student the correct feedback
in order for them to fix their mistakes.
In her
blog she used exits slips as an example to on ways you can check students’
progress. She use it as an example to help her see if students were progressing
or going in the wrong direction. This method insures that students are capable
of fixing, while understanding their problems. She states that “feedbacks isn’t
enough, students have to honor your feedback. They need to be able to act upon
it, turn it over, do something with it, and fix whatever is broken in their
knowledge.” I can see myself using this
tool as a formative assessment to monitor students’ progress.
I totally
felt that this blog was very informative to me as a students and a future
educator. Teri Engelbrecht blogs will be something that I always read to check
out some skills to help me in my future role as an educator.
