Description: For this assignment I was required to go to the toy section of a store and assess the gender roles that were seen as well as answer some questions about my observations. I was also required to watch a children’s television program and answer questions about the gender roles I witnessed.
Rationale: To demonstrate my knowledge of INTASC Standard #6: Assessment, I have chosen to include my Children’s TV Show and Toy Assessment.

I also examined my own thinking and learning processes when it comes to gender roles in the classroom as well as everyday life.
