This instructional unit is designed for upper level high school students, grades 11-12th in the agricultural business course in the agricultural sales and marketing unit. Many of these students have very little knowledge about sales or marketing, except for the students who have been involved in sales or marketing with their SAE. This is a middle unit in the agricultural business course, in earlier units they will have covered the basic concepts that will help them to develop the skills that they will need to use in this unit and future units.

My first assessment helps to achieve this by having the students do a simple but a to the point task that takes prior knowledge that they may have already and apply it to this and make a pro/con list and a list of what can be improved upon. It is testing their initial knowledge and understanding, which allows the teacher to see where they may need help or improvement. The informal formative assessment that I chose is having students work in pairs to assess how well each other pair of students is understanding the material. This allows the students to practice different ways so that they can better retain the information. This will help them to form a different way to allow the students to study these concepts. I think doing think-pair-share activities is a great way for students to get feedback from their fellow peers. The paper-pencil assessment I chose was to have the students complete 3 of the 4 essay prompts and 6 of the 10 short answer prompts. This helps the students to really think through these basics of agricultural business which puts this into perspective the importance and purpose of it. Finally, the performance assessment the students will be assessed on how well they can demonstrate and perform sales demonstration that will allow them to work through the aspects and concepts that we had been learning about in the

Informally, I will be constantly collecting data throughout each lesson because the lessons are set up so that the students have time to work with their partner to explore and solve problems, giving me time to circulate and make note of misconceptions to address full class as well as provide immediate feedback and support. This real-time, informal assessments are in the form of turn and talks, write, pair, share, and in pulling equity sticks for students to explain their mathematical reasoning and problem-solving skills to the class. I can formatively check for procedural fluency in seeing the extent to which students are able to solve the problems on their paper and make note of students who need additional support on my clipboard. During lesson 1, I will be assessing what students already know about

One of the reasons is that there is a lack of proper frameworks to guide the practice for optimal results.

Assessment also gives teachers useful information about how to improve their teaching methods. In classroom assessment, since teachers themselves develop, administer and analyze the questions, they are more likely to apply the results of the assessment to their own teaching. Therefore, it provides feedback on the effectiveness of instruction and gives students a measure of their progress. The purpose of classroom assessment is to give students the opportunity to show what they have learned rather than catching them out or to show what they have not learned. Through using appropriate classroom assessment strategies and techniques, teachers can increase their students' motivation and show them how well they have learned the

Under this definition, it can be said that assessments become formative when the information is used to adapt teaching and learning to meet student needs. When teachers know how students are progressing and where they are having trouble, they can use this information to make necessary instructional adjustments. These adjustments may be reteaching, trying alternative instructional approaches, or offering more opportunities for practice and they can improve student success. Black and Wiliam (1998a) conducted an extensive research review of 250 journal articles and book chapters winnowed from a much larger pool to determine whether formative assessment raises academic standards in the classroom. They found out that formative assessment produce significant learning gains as measured by comparing the average improvements in the test scores of the students involved in the innovation with the range of scores found for typical groups of students on the same tests.
