Words of the Week: Anatomy of a Focus Area
1) Diagnostic assessment: A diagnostic assessmentis a type of "test" assessment that allows students to identify their level of understanding of a concept and therefore target their studying time.
3) Playlist: A playlistis a compilation of learning resources that students can use to help them learn a concept. They are purposefully different video, reading, exercises to allow students to learn in different ways and reflect on what works best for him/her.
2) Content assessment: A content assessment is a 10 question assessment that tests students' understanding of the various concepts and objectives. Students can take content assessments multiple times. These tests are largely multiple choice, though there are some examples of tests where students must type in their answers (called “Explicit Constructed Response”).
3) Key Terms: These are the vocabulary terms that are essential to the students understanding of the content area.
4) Objectives: Objectives can be defined as the learning standards for that focus area. The objectives in Connect are closely tied with the TEKS (Texas Education Knowledge and Skills)
