One thing I really liked was a class chart the book supplied that goes along with the chapter test. On the left listed all of the students in the class. Along the top were the different sections of the chapter broken down to specific concepts. Each concept listed what number questions it was correlated with. My cooperating teacher will look at each section and give the students a number of how well they demonstrated their understanding; one would not understand and four would be a complete understanding of the concept. With the chart, anyone can look at it and it clearly exemplifies which sections of the test every student understands, and what the entire class struggles with. I was surprised with how clear some sections were, but I thought it was a really good idea to chart the entire class. My teacher even said, he doesn’t always notice how clearly the entire class does or does not understand certain sections of the chapter. I thought this would be even more useful before they take their tests. It was not too complicated of a chart, I feel it would be easy to create my own, and before a test maybe create a pretest with a corresponding chart in order to know what the students are not understanding and could use extra practice on.
