What is formative assessment? Formative assessment is an assessment tool used to provide immediate feedback to both the teacher and student, during the learning process. This assessment allows students to receive immediate feedback regarding their own progress and allows their teachers to know the best course of instruction continuing forward. (Chapuis, 2014) In order for assessments to be considered formative, they must occur alongside instruction and provide feedback that allows for ongoing…

Mrs. Murphy’s answers to the interview questions were very enlightening and only one was surprising. With all of the complaints and controversy I had previously heard about No Child Left Behind and the Common Core Standards, it was surprising to hear a teacher speak of the two in such a positive, supportive light. Mrs. Murphy not only stated that she supported the implementation of both ideas, but also that effective teachers should simply do what is best for their students with or without a…

instruments to be utilized must be prioritized. Instrument that lacks reliability and the one that is very low in reliability are both worthless for all practical purposes (Royse, Thyler, & Padgett, 2014).

learners where they currently are and move them to the next level. To be an effective teacher, one must understand that every child is unique and has different learning styles. Thus, teachers must be willing to accommodate and modify instruction and assessments. Teachers need to be cognizant of how students assimilate and acquire new knowledge and find the most advantageous method of instructing learners. In their article, the authors point out that independent assignments should be varied…

accommodations on assessments. I also worked with her to create informal assessments, using observations to gage where students’ learning is. Mrs. Ottlinger had 9 students on her IEP caseload, of these students, 5 were boys and 4 were girls. On Tuesdays and Thursdays, she had two periods where she engaged in one-on-one reading intervention with two male students, both students were diagnosed with an SLD. Mrs. Ottlinger was a great mentor, and was open with what interventions and assessments she…

Consequently, it became very evident that top-down teaching relies heavily on the student’s background and experience to obtain knowledge. In addition, I gained understanding of how the overall learning experiences should be planned with the summative assessment in mind. Therefore, instead of first figuring out what to activities do, I found out that starting with the goals and standards and then developing the lessons based on performances is beneficial in preparing students to learn.…

My assessment is a formative assessment, to see how well the students have picked up on the ideas that the ending sound of a word (rime) is the base for creating rhyming words.

I choose to do such an assessment because it allows for immediate feedback from the teacher to the student,…
