Educating Our Parents: Understanding the New Paltz District Curriculum
Language Arts skills include, but are not limited to, reading, reading comprehension, research, writing, and verbal communication. Being able to pick out the most important information will also help students summarize what they have read, which will be required on most assessments through college. Students also benefit from developing writing portfolios by being able to keep track of their work and seeing the growth of their writing ability. This gives students a feeling of ownership which often results in better performance.
The benefit of the journals and writing portfolios is that they allow teachers to track what skills and strategies students are using as they read. For instance, if a student is having trouble making connections to a piece of literature, it will be evident in their responses. Students may also use these journals as a record of what they have read throughout the year. It also helps to dramatically increase the amount of reflective and analytic thinking a student is capable of doing.

Chalk Talk: What Is a Summative Assessment
Summative assessments test students’ understanding of an entire unit of study (such as a chapter of a textbook or a story in a reading basal). The goal is to summarize the extent of student success in mastering what is taught, a reflection on both student and teacher. The traditional method involves giving a written assessment, but end-of-unit projects, presentations, and writing assignments may be effective summative assessments as well. In fact, it is beneficial to vary assessment methods. The younger the student, the less material will be involved in the summative assessment. High school students will usually be given mid-term and final exams as expanded summative assessments to test their understanding of all the material in the first half of the year and then the whole year. The ACT is a summative assessment and gauges learning throughout high school.
