550-Assessment

Creating formative and summative assessments for your assignments is an essential part of guiding instruction for learning. Not only are assessments ensuring that learning is taking place, but they are also checking for mastery of skills taught.

Part 1: Assessment Plan

In Topic 4, you created a living museum project for your students. To modify, strengthen, and adjust instruction as students are creating their museum project, research and decide how you will formatively assess students. Additionally, create a summative assessment for the students that will assess if all the learning objectives have been met by the end of the project.

Your assessment plan should include:

• The social studies content standards, the arts standards, and the lesson objectives from the Topic 4 lesson that the assessment plan will align with and measure.
• Four specific examples of formative assessments you will implement during the project and a rationale for how they will strengthen and guide instruction.
• Description of a summative assessment and an explanation of how it will be used to ensure mastery of the standards and learning objectives.
• Rubric for the summative assessment.
• Your plan to provide effective, descriptive feedback in a timely manner to students following the assessments and how this will guide their progress toward meeting instructional goals.
• Specific ways you will accommodate students with exceptionalities and language barriers, including special education, gifted, English language learners, and early finishers.

Part 2: Reflection

Write a 250 word reflection describing your assessment plan. In the summary address:

• How the ethical use of various assessments and data guides you to identify students’ strengths and needs and promote student growth.
• How your assessments will support continuous progress in teaching and learning and demonstrate gains in skills and knowledge.

Submit your assessment plan with your reflection as one deliverable.

Use at least 2-3 resources to support the assessment plan.
