This artifact is the rubric that went with a narrative writing assignment students had to complete. Before I even started reading through each of the students' narratives, I took the time to grow in my understanding "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;" (7B). This rubric was selected by my cooperating teacher and I so that I was able to grow to understand "how to select, construct, and use assessment strategies and instruments for evaluation of learning and instruction" (7E) along with growing to know "assessment and progress monitoring techniques to assess the effectiveness of instruction for each student." (7I). Using this rubric, I was able to understand and assess how much students understood from the instruction given on narrative writing and how students applied their understanding in their writing. This rubric also allowed me to practice "maintaining useful and accurate records of student work and performance" (7M) and "effectively using appropriate technologies to conduct assessments, monitor performance, and assess student progress;" (7O) due to this assessment being done during my time student teaching. This assessment was done by having students type their final drafts on Google Docs to then be submitted and graded on Google Classroom. This was a great practice at informal summative assessments and determining where students are specifically in their writing skills.

This assignment was done for one of my special education courses (spring 2022) where each student was assigned a formal assessment tool and we had to determine if the assessment was effective or a good choice as a formal assessment. This assignment helped me "understand the purposes, characteristics, and limitations of different types of assessments, including standardized assessments, universal screening, curriculum-based assessment, and progress monitoring tools" (7A) along with helping me grow to understand "measurement theory and assessment-related issues, such as validity, reliability, bias, and appropriate and accurate scoring" (7C). I was able to also deepened my understanding of "current terminology and procedures necessary for the appropriate analysis and interpretation of assessment data" (7D) and my knowledge of "research-based assessment strategies appropriate for each student" (7F). While assessing this tool, I had to go through and determine the effectiveness of the data and how it can be used. This part of the assignment helped me grow to "understand how to make data-driven decisions using assessment results to adjust practices to meet the needs of each student;" (7G) along with "using assessment results to determine student performance levels, identifying learning targets, selecting appropriate research-based instructional strategies, and implementing instruction to enhance learning outcomes" (7J). I felt that I was able to learn and grew to understand how to "appropriately use a variety of formal and informal assessments to evaluate the understanding, progress, and performance of an individual student and the class as a whole;" (7K). For this assignment, I had to keep in mind of the legal aspect of assessments. This assignment helped me further my knowledge of "legal provisions, rules, and guidelines regarding assessment and assessment accommodations for all student populations" (7H). With this assignment, I was also able to deepen my understanding on how to "use various types of assessment procedures appropriately, including making accommodations for individual students in specific contexts;" (7Q) and how to "use assessment strategies and devices that are nondiscriminatory, and take into consideration the impact of disabilities, methods of communication, cultural background and primary language on measuring knowledge, and performance of students" (7R).
