Blog assignment #6: Reflect on your use of assessment in the classroom. On a scale of 1 – 10, ten being highest, how would you rate yourself. What are your plans for becoming a “10” if you are not there already? How are you using assessment in the classroom to guide your instruction? Describe how assessment results are used to differentiate instruction within your class.”
I would rate my use of assessment as an 8. I use formative assessment everyday to determine whether material needs to be retaught or presented in a different way. I look at each student's work and decide what scaffolds are needed to support comprehension and verbal and written expression. I also notice students who can be pushed to think and work at higher levels and create opportunities for them to do so. I also use formal assessments periodically for more concrete measurements of growth. My weakest point is stepping back and analyzing the assessments to determine specific areas of growth and weaknesses that still need to be addressed with each individual student.
