Standard 7 - Assessment – The competent teacher understands and uses appropriate formative and summative assessments for determining student needs, monitoring student progress, measuring student growth, and evaluating student outcomes. The teacher makes decisions driven by data about curricular and instructional effectiveness and adjusts practices to meet the needs of each student.

Discussion on project:
The test that was made was about Educational Psychology that involved factors like intrinsic and extrinsic motivation. It tested the individuals in our class about these different factors and how they understood those factors. I did the test on Google Forms which was able to use for the test. It was easy to use and be a good resource for the future.
This is important because students are going to be tested on the benefits of exercise in my classes. It will be important that I have a resource that is easy to create and easy to use for the students. By making these forms, it tells me that I have added another way to assess my students which is important to seeing improvements for my students.
Therefore, the future will need assessments that I could use for my students. It will be essential that my students are being assessed with forms along with fitness gram type tests. They will be able to see the answers about the benefits of exercise on paper rather than just seeing data. Some students will learn a little bit better seeing articles, tests, and assignments than just talking about the information.

Discussion on the report:
Based on this project, I would say I have a better understanding how to construct a test and analyze the results. I was able to evaluate the grades by finding percentages as well as T and z scores. I was able to configure a formative assessment that I would create in the schoolyear for my students.
After looking at the scores, I was able to come up with examples of how my classroom lessons would be adjusted. Based on the questions missed, hypotheses were made to figure out why and what would have benefited the students a little more.
The project allowed for me to keep accurate records of the students scores and organize them in such a way that I would be able to calculate the data into different data analysis. This is important for the future as I will do this to observe students to see strengths and weaknesses. Improvements in the curriculum would be made going forward.
