Assessment

The elements that learner-centered instruction should contain what the students are interested in, their backgrounds and any experiences they may have about what is being discussed.  A learner-centered activity for a class could be: the teacher would play a sound of a letter and a child would have to hunt for an item in the room that begins with that sound.  The elements that knowledge-centered instructions should contain would be information to help the student learn.  They should understand what they are learning.    Two types of assessments that should be included in assessment-centered instructions are Summative and Formative Assessments.  Community centeredness is important to student learning because it allows us to create a safe environment for everyone.  When you are in a safe environment you are more comfortable, which can allow you to learn with ease.  I worked with young children and when their environment is friendly and safe they open up to you.  If they have an open mind then you can fill it with knowledge.   I think you can do evaulate your instruction at anytime and it would be beneficial to do it on a regular basis.  You can ask your students or peers for their suggestions.
