Learning Objectives & Content Standard Alignment - Selects, creates, and sequences learning experiences
and performance tasks that support learners in reaching rigorous curriculum goals based on content
standards.

Assessment - Uses assessment flexibly to expand and deepen understanding of learner performance and
determines best supports for continued learner growth.
Assessment Instructional Decisions / Reasoning

objectives? How will the assessment results be used?) assessment. How will analysis of this data
inform instruction)
Economic Systems Pop quiz Formative
This assessment will be given at the
Children will be able to determine what economic system is beginning of class, after 2 weeks of
being defined instruction that has covered the different
types of economies (Command, market,
traditional). Students will read 6
scenarios, students will have to pick what
economy is being explained, through
multiple choice answers (between
command, traditional, and market)
Students will have more time than needed
to complete this assignment
Students can be read questions if needed
by the teacher
Data (Potential misunderstanding)
From this quiz, we will be able to gauge
where students are in understanding the
different types of economic systems. If
students have issues with understanding
and determining the types of economies,
we can incorporate a more extensive
review of this topic before the Unit #1
test.
If we see a few students having difficulty
with different parts of the assessment, we
can meet with those students individually
to figure out misunderstandings students
may have.
Supply & Demand worksheet Formative (skill level)
This assessment will be given after the
note section of class. Students will be

influence the economy along with working in small groups. This
assessment will provide feedback on
student comprehension of notes and will
allow the educator to adjust upcoming
lessons based on student comprehension
of expectations and concepts. Students
will also be assessed on their ability to
work with other students, and efficiency,
with all members working equally.
For students who need help, reading out
the scenarios to students and helping
students comprehend the differences
between the law of supply and the law of
demand.
Data (potential misunderstanding)
In this assignment, students are expected
to know what part of the economy is
being affected by a change, and how.
sharing this information with the whole
class will also allow students to work
together through different scenarios, and
help each other with misunderstandings.
This will also help the teacher answer
questions on misconceptions.

reviewing instructional materials from the perspectives of both the discipline and individual learner needs.

Reflection
(Produce a thoughtful reflection addressing the following: strengths of the lesson and areas for
growth; evidence of student learning and interpretation of assessment results. Consider the
following questions:
● Did the students meet the objective(s)/learning goal(s) of the lesson? How do you know?
● What does your assessment data tell you?
● What went well?
● What would you change?
● What did you learn? How will this impact your next lesson?
How many students met the objective(s)? Partially met? Did not meet? After analyzing the
assessment data what will you do to help ALL students meet the objective(s)?)
