ELM- 555: TOPIC 2 DISCUSSION 2 - Using Feedback from Pre - and  Formative Assessments to Form Instructional Decisions

How would you use feedback from students during pre-and formative assessments to inform instructional decisions?

ELM- 555: TOPIC 2: ASSESSMENT PRACTICES FOR K-12 STUDENTS/ EDUCATION 

Assessment Description

There are various assessment strategies. One strategy, questioning, gives insight into students’ understandings and misconceptions and adjusts instruction accordingly. Assessing students before, during, and after instruction guides the teacher in how to modify and adjust instruction to meet the various learning needs of students. Teachers should use a variety of assessment strategies.

Part 1: Assessment Table

Using the math and ELA standards and learning objectives that you created in Topic 1, you will complete the “Assessment Table” graphic organizer that identifies two pre-assessment questions (assessing students’ prior knowledge), two formative assessment questions (assessing students’ progress), and an example of a summative assessment that aligns to the selected content standard.

Part 2: Reflection

In 250-500 words, summarize and explain your reasoning for choosing the formative assessments, questions, and summative assessment. Include responses to the following:

How do the assessments align to the learning objectives and standards?
Discuss the importance and purpose of multiple forms of assessments, and how the assessments inform instruction.
Explain how you will use your findings in your future professional practice.
Support your findings with a minimum of three scholarly sources.
