Assessment
Assessment
Description: The teacher understands and uses multiple methods of assessment to engage learners in their own growth, to document learner progress, and to guide the teacher’s on-going planning and instruction.
Interpretation: The educator uses different methods of assessment to help each learner with their personal growth. The teacher uses the assessments to help plan future lessons and activities.
Pre-Assessment Data:
Pre-Assessment Data:
Description of Artifact: Lesson one pre-assessment data was collected at the end of students' pre-assessment test. This data was then put into a spreadsheet and recorded. It gave me an idea of where each students' strengths were and where students might need more support.
Indicator: 6(L) Knows how to analyze assessment data to understand patterns and gaps in learning, to guide planning and instruction, and to provide meaningful feedback to all learners.
Indicator in your own words: The teacher uses the data collected from assessments in guiding the remainder of the unit and activities.
Rationale: The pre-assessment spreadsheet is a good example of Indicator 6(L) because I was able to record and analyze the data from the pre-assessment to help guide which lessons I might have to teach in my unit. For example, I saw that most students felt comfortable adding decimals so I chose to not spend that much time on that specific operation. On the contrary, I noticed that most students were struggling with multiplying and dividing decimals. This told me that I should spend more time on those operations because of the lack of proficiency that was shown in the spreadsheet. To give students' feedback we went over the spreadsheet together and we talked about which questions we might want to spead more time on. We realized as a class that we needed more practice on multiplying and dividing decimals. This artifact shows proficiency in Standard 6 because I used a method of assessment to document learner progress and it helped me guide instruction by specifically highlighting spots where students are struggling.
Written Learning Goal:
Written Learning Goal:
Description of Artifact: The learning goal on the board was a goal from a math lesson regarding decimal operations. Students can self assess with the learning goal and see if they are meeting the expectation of the lesson throughout the class.
Indicator: 6(r) Takes responsibility for aligning instruction and assessment with learning goals.
Indicator in my own words: The teacher takes responsibility for making sure that their lessons line up with learning goals.
Rationale: The learning goal on the whiteboard is a good example of Standard 6(r) because I am letting students know what the goal of the lesson is. This lets students know that they are doing a lesson for a purpose, what the goal of the lesson is, and how they are being assessed. For example, at the end of the lesson, students put their heads down and put their hands up. Then, on a 0-5 scale, they assess if they met the learning goal. Another example of the indicator is the learning target on the board which states SWBAT use their knowledge of decimal operations to solve complex math problems. The main goal of this lesson was for students to get more practice using multiple decimal operations to solve difficult math problems. Therefore, I think that this artifact shows that I am proficient in Standard 6(r) because I took responsibility for lining up the lesson and worksheet that goes with the lesson to the learning goal posted on the board for the whole class to see and refer back to.
