Using Assessments to Drive Instruction
Using Assessments to Drive Instruction
Assessments are an embedded part of classroom teaching and learning and provide data on gradelevel priority content and practices. Schools have access to multiple data sources including data and work samples from previous teachers, formative assessment practices, and universal screeners/progress monitoring tools to name a few. These data sources, used together, can provide evidence of student learning progress.

Lesson Plan 7 Reading Assesment revision.docxArtifact I
Artifact I
I chose my lesson plan as my first artifact because it is an example of how teachers have a logical sequence and support their instructional goals. Lesson plans should have a clear objective not only outlining what the teacher wants to teach but what the students should be able to do by the end of the lesson. It provides structure ensuring that learning builds logically from one step to the next.

Artifact II
I chose TEK 2.3 as my second artifact because understanding these grade and subject-specific standards is vital to creating a well-structured lesson plan. Using TEKS helps teachers design purposeful and effective lesson plans. Reviewing your TEKS is honestly the first step in creating a lesson plan. It holds educators to a standard and ensures that teachers meet professional expectations and responsibilities.
The current standards, which outline what students will learn in each course or grade, are called Texas Essential Knowledge and Skills (TEKS). The standards are adopted by the State Board of Education, after extensive input from educators and other stakeholders.
Interdisciplinary Content
Interdisciplinary Content
Interdisciplinary instruction develops strong systems of engaging and efficient whole student experiences. When we think of each content area or academic field as a cog in the instructional system educators can feel overwhelmed by the complexities and expectations of teaching. By taking an interdisciplinary approach to teaching and learning, schools can - and should - integrate multiple academic fields. Interdisciplinary instruction relies on multiple content cogs working together to develop student knowledge, problem-solving skills, self-confidence, self-efficacy and a passion for learning while supporting students' various learning styles, diverse backgrounds, interests, talents, backgrounds, and values.
A rationale is when you are asked to provide the reasoning or justification for an action or choice you make. It focuses on the 'why' behind your decision – why you chose to do something, study, or focus on something. It consists of statements of purpose and significance and often addresses a gap or a need.
What are Thematic Units? Thematic units involve teaching lessons based on a recurring topic, integrating multiple subjects across the curriculum. Each lesson within the thematic unit focuses on the main idea while still addressing its specific objectives and goals.
