ASSESSMENT PLANNING

Teachers are responsible for using a variety of progress-monitoring strategies to evaluate and support student achievement. These strategies include formative, summative, and common assessments. In this task, you will plan a progress-monitoring strategy by creating an assessment plan (AP) that actively engages students in their own learning. The assessment plan will include two formative assessments and one summative assessment as well as any related assessment or evaluation tools. The assessment plan will also include a description of how you, the teacher, will use the assessments to provide meaningful feedback to students and differentiate instruction.

No more than a combined total of 30% of the submission and no more than a 10% match to any one individual source can be directly quoted or closely paraphrased from sources, even if cited correctly.
