(Jacqueline Grennon) Brooks and
(Martin G.) Brooks (1993) describe what assessment in a constructivist classroom looks like: Rather than saying "No" when a student does not give the exact answer being sought, the constructivist teacher attempts to understand the student's current thinking about the topic.

Through nonjudgmental questioning, the teacher
leads the student to construct new
understanding and acquire new skills.

Constructivists believe that assessment should be used
as a tool to enhance
both the student's learning and
the teacher's understanding of the student's
current understanding.

It should not be usedas an accountability tool
that makes some studentsfeel good about themselves
andcauses others to give up.

This presentationwill show light
to the important principles that guide the work of a constructivist teacher:

1Constructivist
teachers encourage and accept student
autonomy and initiative.

2Constructivist
teachers use raw data and primary
sources along with manipulative,
interactive, and physical materials.

3Constructivist teachers use
cognitive terminology such as "classify," "analyze,"
"predict," and "create" when framing tasks.

4Constructivist teachers allow
student responses to drive lessons, shift
instructional strategies, and alter
content.

5Constructivist teachers inquire about students'
understandings of concepts before
sharing their own understandings of those concepts.

6Constructivist
teachers encourage students to engage
in dialogue both with the
teacher and with one another.

7Constructivist teachers
encourage student inquiry by asking
thoughtful, open-ended questions and
encouraging students to ask questions of
each other.

8Constructivist teachers seek elaboration of students'
initial responses.

9Constructivist teachers
engage students in experiences that might
engender contradictions to their initial hypotheses and
then encourage discussion.

10Constructivist
teachers allow a waiting time after posing questions.

11Constructivist
teachers provide time
for studentsto construct
relationships and create metaphors.

12Constructivist
teachers nurture students'
natural curiositythrough frequent use of the learning cycle model (Brooks & Brooks,
1993).
