FEAP 4 Assessment. The effective educator consistently:
a. Analyzes and applies data from multiple assessments and measures to diagnose students’ learning needs, informs instruction based on those needs, and drives the learning process;
The photo above is of an Easy CBM assessment I administered on a student at risk of being retained. She has made incredible gains in the past month, but this data (along with unit assessment, DRA assessments, etc) will be use to determine whether or not she should be promoted to 1st grade.
b. Designs and aligns formative and summative assessments that match learning objectives and lead to mastery;
The above photo is of a formative assessment I designed to determine whether or not mu students were ready for the math unit test on sorting. The students' excellent performance on this assessment led me to believe they were for the test the next day.
c. Uses a variety of assessment tools to monitor student progress, achievement and learning gains;
This semester I have combined several data points to measure students' learning gains (particularly in reading), such as Easy CBM assessment, DRAs, formative assessment (i.e. literature responses), and games (sight word bingo). My CT and I use this information to drive lesson planning, and address students' needs.
d. Modifies assessments and testing conditions to accommodate learning styles and varying levels of knowledge;
All of our math tests this semester include a listening section. Some tests require that students demonstrate understanding through the use of manipulatives. In order to minimize distractions, these sections are done in small groups. Doing it this way helps students focus, and allows the teacher to address misconceptions.
e. Shares the importance and outcomes of student assessment data with the student and the student’s parent/caregiver(s); and
My CT and I held a Parent Meeting about reading on a weekday, during the evening. We provided tips on how to help their children at home, as well as review their child's individual information (including work examples and test scores) on a one-on-one basis.
f. Applies technology to organize and integrate assessment information.
I used Microsoft excel to organize grades and calculate averages. I print out a blank copy so that I can write in grades and transfer them to my electronic copy later. This allows me to have all my information in one place, and the backup copies ensure the information will not be lost.
