Assessment

The competent teacher understands and uses appropriate formative and summative assessments for determining student needs, monitoring student progress, measuring student 6 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.

Create a Test: This artifact that was assigned to us during course 251 was to create a test that we would give to students based on a particular sport. This gave us practice to create a test as if I was testing my students on the rules of gameplay

Knowledge Indicator 7B states that the competent teacher understands that assessment is a means of evaluating how students learn and what they know and are able to do in order to meet the Illinois Learning Standards.

What I learned is that a teacher must be proficient in their content area along with their notes to be able to construct test questions tailored to each grade level.

Skills Assessment Data: This artifact was another assignment in this course in which I acquired data from all of my classmates based on the amount of tennis serves that they can get into a certain area out of 5.

Performance Indicator 7J states that the competent teacher uses assessment results to determine student performance levels, identify learning targets, select appropriate research-based instructional strategies, and implement instruction to enhance learning outcomes.

This artifact helps me determine how to structure my next PE classes or coaching lessons based on the data obtained from the base level tennis serve.
