The data I gather from
these pre-assessments
shows me a few things. It
demonstrates where the
students strengths and
weaknesses lie and which
topics I should perhaps
review more. Planning
further review days,
although helpful, should
be done carefully because
you dont want to spend
too much time going over
past material. It is also
important to differentiate
your teaching methods on
the review day. If most
students didnt
understand it the first
time, maybe it was the
way it was taught that
was an issue. 9/27/17

Our review days consist
of collaboration and
discussion with partners
or small groups. I monitor
the classroom and visit
each group to check their
understanding. Questions
like, Any questions
here? or Do you guys
understand are not
productive ways of
getting data from student
learning. It is better to
pose critical thinking
questions that encourage
students to use prior
knowledge and make
connections with the
concepts. You can also
pose the questions to the
entire class, give them a
few minutes to process it
and plan a response, and
then visit each group to
get your question

I have been teaching for a
few years, but I am
starting to see a trend of
topics that often trouble
many students. The data I
receive from the pre-
assessments only further
proves what topics we
should revisit. Therefore,
I adjust the instruction
and address common
mistakes students make
for the specific topics we
talk about. We also
discuss these topics as a
class or in small groups.
The adjustments are
never-ending since each
class has their own

learning. 9/27/17

K-W-L charts are an
effective way to begin
instilling goal-setting
habits in students. They
write down what they
know about the topic
beforehand, what they
intend on learning, and
finally what they learned.
Writing this down forces
them to think deeply
about the concept and
make connections
without realizing it. All
students are involved in
this process. K-W-L
charts are also an
effective way to prepare
them for future classes.

Chromebooks have been
an incredible asset in the
classroom. We may not
use them much during
lessons, but they are an
excellent tool to practice
the material and to give
pre-assessments. We
have had meetings as a
department on effective
and helpful websites
where we can create
these assessments. I have
tried some this year
already, and they have
been met positively with
my students. These pre-
assessments dont count
as tests, but instead as
classwork. We go over
the answers as a class so
students can correct any
mistakes. This is how we
record an analyze results.
