Interview Questions: - Reflection

The teacher conducted reading benchmark assessments in the first two weeks of school to determine students' phonemic awareness and reading levels. The assessments, which were developed by the Ministry of Education, were oral tests of letter names, sounds, and sight words. Students were tested individually with teacher assistance. Based on the results, students were grouped by their reading phase or level for English lessons. The groups did not change for different subjects, as this was only an English diagnostic test.

- Reflection

Through my interview with the teacher, it was found that she carried out the diagnostic
evaluation in her classroom based on the knowledge of each student's level and put it in its
proper place. For example, if the student level is average, the parameter will place it with other
students whose level is average. In the future, the United Arab Emirates assesses their
educational levels to be given according to their level. For example, if students at the
intermediate level are given activity or a question that is given to those at the higher level they
will find it difficult to answer because their level The educator cannot understand this question or
activity. In the end, I think the teacher must challenge students at the low and middle level to
encourage them to understand, learn and challenge themselves to raise their level of education.
