demonstrate the integration of assessment into instruction to promote the learning of all students

This assignment is multiple parts, but you will be turning in one document.

1. Choose four assessments that demonstrate the integration of assessment into instruction to promote the learning of all students. These assessments must give strong evidence of designing, selecting, and employing a wide variety of formal and informal assessment tools to match educational purposes. These assessments should show student work and clear evidence through marking up that you are helping students develop self-assessment skills and are encouraging them to reflect on their performances.  Research supports the notion that teacher markups on assessments greatly improves student learning. Please remove or black out students’ names from the assessment before scanning, copying or photographing. You need to choose three formative assessments and one summative assessment.

2. Complete a write-up (2-4 pages) for each of the four assessments. The write up of each assessment must include:

  • the lesson context, the assessment description,
  • why this particular assessment was chosen (you may mention research basis here),
  • what the teacher and student learned from the assessment,
  • how the assessment impacted unique student’s learning?

You may submit all of the write-ups separately or copy/paste them into one document. Once you have completed your write-ups, please submit them.

Co-Teaching Interventions

Collaborating with another teacher or a paraprofessional to co-teach   helps to meet the unique needs of all students in an integrated   setting. Learning how to develop positive relationships, share   responsibilities, plan, and implement instructional delivery together   can be challenging, but has a multitude of benefits. How teachers make   decisions about behavior management, classroom routines, and delivery   of instruction can directly affect the learning of the students as   well as the overall classroom climate.

Imagine you have a fifth grade student, Joel, in an inclusive class.   Joel is 11-years-old and has autism, and he is struggling with working   in groups, getting along with other students, and interacting at   age-appropriate levels within groups. Group work is used regularly for   assignments. You find that Joel has meltdowns during every group work   session. Sometimes he even has these meltdowns before students are put   in groups, as he anticipates the overstimulation before it even   occurs. Other students have expressed concerns and have asked to not   be in his group. When meltdowns occur, they affect the entire   classroom for several minutes. The outbursts range from mild to   moderate, from tantrums to crying or shutting down.

Create a plan, in a 500-750 word narrative, to share with the   co-teacher. Explain the following in your plan:

Intervention:

  • How you would intervene and de-escalate Joel when he has an   outburst.
  • How you would collaborate with the co-teacher to     intervene and debrief the other students in the class after one of     Joel’s episodes.
  • Proactive ways to soothe Joel and     prevent such episodes in the future.

Collaboration:

  • How you would collaborate with the co-teacher to continue     support for Joel and his peers in the classroom.
  • What you     and the co-teacher could do to support peer interactions for   Joel.

Ethical and Legal Concerns:

  • Ethical and legal concerns related to sharing Joel’s     personal information with the class and other professionals,     including guidelines on how to handle students’ personal   information.

Support your findings with a minimum of two scholarly resources.
