Educators understand and use data to drive their instruction and support students in achieving their learning goals. Educators:
7a: Provide alternative ways for students to demonstrate competency and reflect on their learning using technology.
- Artifact: APUSH Group Project Personal Reporting
- One of the assessments that I have included more in my own teaching is Personal Reporting. Taking time to reflect on what I have learned has had a beneficial impact on me and my learning progress. I have included this into my assessments more, it gives me the opportunity to see what the student valued from the learning experience.
7b: Use technology to design and implement a variety of formative and summative assessments that accommodate learner needs, provide timely feedback to students and inform instruction.
- Artifact: ISLT 9458 Assessment and Technology Final Project
- I have created many project based assessments that accommodate the learning needs of my students. The artifact above is a project based assessment that focuses on the roaring twenties. It is an assessment that promotes learning through assessment rather than assessing to verify learning.
7c: Use assessment data to guide progress and communicate with students, parents and education stakeholders to build student self-direction.
- Artifact: ISLT 9417 Action Research Plan
- In my Action Research Class I spent time collecting data on the effect of using Google Sites vs. Google Classroom as a learning management tool. Based on the analysis and student reflection I was able to communicate best practices and recommendations to teachers, administrators and students who are the primary stakeholders.
