Standard #8: The teacher understands and uses formal and informal assessment strategies to evaluate and ensure the continuous intellectual, social, and physical development of the learner.
I recognize the advantages and drawbacks of different types of students' assessments. I will use and record multiple measures of students' learning. I will modify teaching strategies based on the results of assessments. I will be able to communicate student progress.
Artifact nine is a evaluation form focusing on my teaching, filled out by my supervising instructor, Mary Skerik, as she observed me teach a lesson during student teaching. She observed me teaching a math lesson in the statistics and probability unit.
In addition to assessing my students I need to be continually evaluating my teaching. Using constructive criticism and thoughtful reflection will make me a stronger teacher.
Artifact twelve is a writing lesson plan. For this lesson students wrote a generalization (a skill they had been working on in reading) about a specific person they knew and then gave to detail to elaborate on the generalization. To encourage self-reflection, students were then asked to grade themselves.
The assessment portion of this assignment asked students to participate in self-reflection. Based on students' reactions, this is not something they normally do.
