Reflective Assignment

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

I realized that some of my objectives may be a little easier and I may need to be modified. By doing this I will be able to ensure I am allowing higher-order thinking to take place during my unit. I also realized that it is essential to have different tires for objectives such as lower, middle and higher by doing this it allows you as the teacher to hit each one of your students learning abilities in your classroom.

What do these data mean for instruction for the Focus Students during the unit?

For my focus student A which was my more advanced student in my class they were able to easily answer all of the questions and was not being challenged enough. While for my other focus student they were unable to understand one or more of the objectives I had listed out. Therefore, what I need to ensure I am doing for this unit is mix my objectives up ensuring I am reaching all of my

As a teacher this allowed me to see visual what areas my students were struggling in. I was able to adapt certain lessons that would re-go over the objectives my students struggled with. 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.
