Assessment is a crucial component of every classroom. Assessments give teachers insight into what students know. A well-designed assessment creates data that a teacher can use to identify what students meet the objective and which students need additional support. In my classroom, I implement a wide variety of assessments to ensure that all students have an opportunity to accurately demonstrate their knowledge and understanding.  Additionally, assessments are a tool that students can use to monitor and track their progress throughout the school year. In my classroom I share assessment data, help students set goals and allow students to correct their mistakes on assessments which allows students to engage in their own growth. 

 

In my classroom, I use diagnostic testing, formative assessments, and summative assessments. To engage my students in assessments I use a wide variety of engaging assessments, celebrate accomplishments, and encourage students to review their tests and written feedback. I share assessment data, data trackers, and hold individual student conferences to help students track and monitor their progress. Data from assessments informs my instruction; class performance will determine the activities we do including remediation, acceleration, or extension activities to support all students to meet success in my class.
