Assessment
Intern:
- Uses assessments that are aligned with lesson objectives and goals.
- Uses data from multiple formative and summative assessments to document learning and adjust plans and instruction.
- Provides opportunities for students to demonstrate learning and understanding in a variety of ways.
As a teacher moves from content knowledge to assessment, an extremely important method to evaluating assessment is through data. Below, I have incorporated a data sheet that I have previously used as a way to identify student work. I used this sheet to plan further lessons based on the data I received from the original assessment.
I believe that assessments should vary and work as a tool to open up and display the ideas and knowledge that the students hold. I try to implement a variety of formative and summative assessments in my classroom. I often use exit slips as a way to keep students engaged through out the lesson. Artifact one shows how I have used "Exit tweets" as a fun way for students to respond to each other based on the information we have just reviewed. Also, artifact three shows another different approach to a final project. This provided students with an alternative way to demonstrate their learning over the unit.

Artifact One: Exit Tweets
As a way to engage students, I have implemented "Exit Tweets" in the classroom. Instead of the common exit slip, students will write an exit tweet. The prompts are always different but are a way to gauge where the students are at after a lesson. At the beginning of the school year, I taught a twitter mini lesson. We examined tweets, what made a good tweet, and how to engage responses using tweets. |

Artifact Two: Data Sheet
In TE 804, we used this worksheet to analyze student work. This allowed me to categorize student work based on an individual assessment and then helped in making differentiated future lessons. |

Artifact Three: Romeo and Juliet Scene Remix Final Project
After reading Rome and Juliet, students completed a scene remix as their final project. Students were required to keep the same themes and ideas that were present in the original text but were able to modernize and alter the theme in any other ways they would like. |
