Good teaching requires both assessment of learning and assessment for learning. Assessments of learning ensure that teachers know that students have learned the intended outcomes. These assessments must be designed in such a manner that they provide evidence of the full range of learning outcomes; that is, the methods needed to assess reasoning skills are different from those for factual knowledge. Furthermore, such assessments may need to be adapted to the particular needs of individual students; an ESL student, for example, may need an alternative method of assessment to allow demonstration of understanding. Assessment for learning enables a teacher to incorporate assessments directly into the instructional process and to modify or adapt instruction as needed to ensure student understanding. Such assessments, although used during instruction, must be designed as part of the planning process. These formative assessment strategies are ongoing and may be used by both teachers and students to monitor progress toward understanding the learning outcomes.

Formative Assessment
Formative Assessment
In this assignment activity I was required to create a formative assessment for my students. This assessment is broken up into 2 learning goals. The assessment is designed in a way that guides teachers to know if students are prepared to move on to further material or if they need more time to consider the material. I am able to use this type of evaluation to consider if my teaching has been clear enough for students to reach the desired outcomes that I am looking for. The rubric suggests a range of different types of student work and what that specific data could mean. Furthermore, such an assessment creates opportunity for growth as an educator and for the students. I could use this type of assessment to help students create an individual learning plan, and I can make professional changes to better meet the needs of individual students.

Mini Lesson Plan #1
Mini Lesson Plan #1
Lesson Plan: In this Artifact I am showing that I am capable of creating a lesson that has a clear content standard, objective, engagement and an assessment plan to gauge learning. Even though this lesson plan was not used in an actual class. My assessment plan clearly states what I will have my students do and what I will do to gain a clear understanding of what my students understand. I expressed my plans as a teacher of a proactive plan on how to fix the issues at hand. Fast finishers are also mentioned at the end of the lesson assessment and what they can to continue moving forward.
