IV.  ANALYSIS OF STUDENT PERFORMANCE

THINK ABOUT IT IN THESE TERMS: YOU ARE JUSTIFYING YOUR TEACHING TO SOMEONE--PROVING THAT YOUR INSTRUCTION DOES IN FACT ASSIST STUDENTS TO ACCOMPLISH THE STATE EALR'S--SO WHAT YOU HAVE TO DO IS DISCUSS:

PRE ASSESSMENT

WHAT YOU CHOSE TO DO AND WHY

HOW DOES IT ADDRESS THE EALR'S IDENTIFIED?

RESULTS OF PRE ASSESS: WHAT DOES THE DATA SHOW YOU ABOUT STUDENT PROGRESS TOWARD SUCCESSFUL DEMONSTRATION OF EALR'S KNOWLEDGE?

HOW DO THESE RESULTS AFFECT YOUR DECISION-MAKING FOR THE SEQUENCE OF ACTIVITIES YOU PLAN TO ASSIST STUDENTS TOWARD COMPETENT LEVELS OF EALR'S DEMONSTRATION? WHAT DID YOU PLAN TO DO AND WHY?

FORMATIVE ASSESSMENTS

WHAT YOU CHOSE TO DO AND WHY

HOW DO THEY ADDRESS THE EALR'S IDENTIFIED?

RESULTS OF FORMATIVE ASSESSMENTS: WHAT DOES THE DATA SHOW YOU ABOUT STUDENT PROGRESS TOWARD SUCCESSFUL DEMONSTRATION OF EALR'S KNOWLEDGE?

HOW DO THESE RESULTS AFFECT YOUR DECISION-MAKING FOR THE SEQUENCE OF ACTIVITIES YOU PLAN TO ASSIST STUDENTS TOWARD COMPETENT LEVELS OF EALR'S DEMONSTRATION? WHAT DID YOU PLAN TO DO AND WHY?  HOW DID YOU ADJUST YOUR ORIGINAL PLANS BASED ON RESULTS OF THE FORMATIVE ASSESSMENTS?

SUMMATIVE ASSESSMENT

WHAT YOU CHOSE TO DO AND WHY

HOW DOES IT ADDRESS THE EALR'S IDENTIFIED?

RESULTS OF SUMMATIVE ASSESSMENT: WHAT DOES THE DATA SHOW YOU ABOUT STUDENT PROGRESS TOWARD SUCCESSFUL DEMONSTRATION OF EALR'S KNOWLEDGE?

HOW DO THESE RESULTS AFFECT YOUR DECISION-MAKING ABOUT WHAT YOUR NEXT STEPS OR NEXT UNITS OF STUDY?  WHAT DO THE STUDENTS NEED NEXT?

AT THE END YOU HAVE TO MAKE A DECLARATIVE STATEMENT OF WHERE EACH STUDENT IS ON EACH BENCHMARK.

FORMAT:
 

• USE FOOTER TO PUT YOUR LAST NAME-MIT 05 ON ALL PAGES--PAGE NUMBERS WOULD HELP TOO!
• YOU MUST SUBMIT A PAPER AND AN ELECTRONIC COPY (NEITHER OF THESE WILL BE RETURNED).
• MAKE A SECOND HARD COPY FOR YOUR PRESENTATION ALBUM
