Standard 8: Reflective Practice: Assessment, Evaluation, and Research
Accomplished Teachers seamlessly blend teacher and student assessments and program evaluation into daily instruction; and they recognize that dance studios and classrooms provide research opportunities to improve teaching, learning, and reflective practice.
This is a teacher-generated checklist for students to assess themselves and their classmates on performing a grapevine. The checklist was designed for first and second grade students and is meant for formative assessment.
"Summer's Stage Directions" is a worksheet I created to assess student knowledge of stage directions. It asks students to draw a path and then describe the direction of their path using the terminology we had just discussed in class. Students could decide how simple or complex they wanted to make their paths, so long as they could explain it.
This document displays an in-depth analysis of student learning which I completed as part of my edTPA submission. Based on the results of an assessment, I created a table and graphs depicting student achievement and wrote an extensive explanation of what students did and did not learn, along with my hypotheses of what could have contributed to the lack of learning and what I could improve in the future. This shows how I can analyze student work and reflect on my own teaching to maximize learning.
