Classroom assessment is an important tool to help you identify your students' understanding of the material and their progress toward reaching mastery.

One of your most important responsibilities is to provide specific feedback to students about their progress. Timely, specific, quality feedback helps students understand why they are successful or have areas for growth in their learning.

Please provide responses to the following questions/prompts. Refer to course materials to support your responses.

How will you use your pre-assessments to modify or guide your instructional strategies/decisions?

Formative Assessments (Use formative assessments to check for student understanding and to guide your instructional decisions)

When using formative assessment, how will you ensure ALL students are understanding the material?

When using formative assessments, why is it important to collect multiple data points?

Summative Assessment (Use summative assessments to determine if students have mastered the learning objectives)

Explain how you develop your summative assessments.

How will you evaluate what your students have learned (mastered) at the end of a unit/lesson?
