Finalstandard 8

This document describes various assessments used during a student teaching placement in 3rd grade math. It includes daily problem of the day, guided practice, student self-ratings, homework collection, mid-unit progress checks graded by students, and unit final assessments. The experience aligns with teaching standards around using formal and informal assessments to ensure student learning and development. The student teacher learned the importance of ongoing formative assessment to monitor understanding and adjust instruction to meet student needs.

Title: A Variety of Assessments

Date: Spring 2015


Artifact Description:
The following artifacts are different assessments that I use throughout the math
chapters. This experience is from Spring 2015 of my student teaching in 3rd grade.
Alignment:
Wisconsin Teacher Standard Alignment:
I believe that this experience best aligns with standard eight of the Wisconsin
Teacher Development and Licensure Standards which states: The teacher understands
and uses formal and informal assessment strategies to evaluate and ensure the continuous
intellectual, social, and physical development of the student. This experience best aligns
with standard eight because I used many assessments throughout the day. In the My Math
Workbooks I used 3-5 different worksheets to monitor childrens progress. Before we
started the chapter the students completed an Am I Ready? worksheet. This shows me
what the students already knew before beginning our new unit. Each day we do a
problem of the day that refers back to what we learned the day before. We share answers
and discuss the many different ways of completing the problem. Next is guided practice
where we discuss how to solve the problem in whole group. I then ask the children to rate
themselves 4-1, 4 being I am an expert and could teach someone how to do the lesson and
1 being I have no clue what is going on. I then sit at the back table and work with the
students who had 1s and 2s. The rest are working independently on math problems in
the book. I keep a thorough record of all of the homework assignments that are handed in.
Homework being turned in on time shows responsibility for learning. Halfway through
the unit is Check My Progress worksheet. This will show me if I need to go back and
reteach any lessons. Students will grade this themselves to show them what they need to
work on before the final assessment. At the end of the unit students will take the final
assessment. This includes vocabulary, fill in the blank and problem solving.
UW-Platteville School of Education Knowledge, Skill, Disposition Statement:
I believe that this experience best aligns with KSD1.f. Assesses Student Learning,
which states: The candidate understands, is committed to, and can develop assessments
that are clearly stated and congruent with instructional goals. The students are aware of
how they are meeting the established standards and are involved in the goal setting
process. I believe that this best aligns with KSD1.f. because students are involved in
this process. I feel by allowing them to correct their Check My Progress holds them
accountable for making sure they seek help to gain a better understanding of the lesson.
Even though students grade their own papers they are still turned in so that I can see if I
might need to reteach a lesson, if many of the students get the same problem incorrect.
Secondary Alignments:
KSD1.c. Selects Instructional Goals
KSD3.d. Provides Feedback to Students
KS4.a. Reflects on Teaching
KSD4.b. Maintains Accurate Records

Reflection:
What I learned about teaching/learning:
I learned that it is important to use a variety of methods of assessment throughout each
lesson. Teachers should use both formal and informal assessments to get information on
the students to adjust their lessons to meet the students needs. I realized how important it
was to monitor where my students understanding of the lesson was. The formal and
informal daily assessments help me as a teacher figure out what the class needs as a
whole and what individuals students need. I learned a lot about reteaching lessons as well
and breaking problems down step by step.
What I learned about myself as a prospective educator:
From this experience I learned that I really didnt know a lot of different ways of
assessing students. I know now that there are so many different ways to monitor where
students are at with their understandings. I learned that this is a two way street with my
students. If the students dont understand its their responsibility to seek help. However
some students are unaware that they need help. Which is why they grade their own
Check My Progress to allow them to see what they need to work on. It will be my
responsibility to allow them to have a tool like this so that my students needs are being
met.
