Background info:
During my student teaching experience, I had the opportunity to teach a unit that outlined the events that led to the Civil War. Throughout this unit I assessed my students three different times, I gave my students a pre-assessment, formative and summative assessment. As you analyze the spreadsheet you will notice that I only had three objectives for this unit, the reasoning being is with this unit being such a heavy content unit I opted to emphasize three major points throughout this unit. In doing this I was able to make the content more meaningful and understandable for my students. As I introduced my unit to my students this past semester I had my students fill out a self-regulated learning pre-assessment quiz(SRL) sheet …show more content…

I was also able to see if my gifted and or special education students need some adjustments or modifications throughout the unit. How did the data from these formative assessments impact Focus Student Learning during the unit?

For my focus student A which was my more advanced student I realized that they may need modify and higher-order thinking projects and or lessons. While my focus student B which was my special education student need modify assignments that are more solid and less abstract base. Therefore, in my future planning when assigning groups primary documents I need to be more aware of my placement of students and the types of documents I gave both of these students to ensure they are both being equally challenged to their ability level.

Only reading and behavior are identified as needed goal areas leaving out other academic areas, such as math and writing. However, these building goals were refined based on student’s past performance data.
