In my second year of
teaching I have grown in
a few ways toward
applying knowledge of
assessments. I have now
begun tracking student
data more effectively by
using google forms. For
example, I had a quiz on
one of my units and the
majority of my students
did not pass the quiz.
When analyzing the data I
found that the majority of
the class got every
question on the quiz
correct. Thus, stating the

on. Additionally, if the

students know where
they are going and what

This is the element that I
focused my ILP on in
previous semesters. I
believe the students have
done well all year in this
category, but especially in
that lesson. I have also
been using google forms
to help my students
assess their own work
and where they need to
go from there. In my
google quizzes I attach
what skills and what
content I am assessing in
the google quiz so that the
students know what they
are mastering and what
they still need to work on.

I still use the same

technologies that I did at
the beginning of the year.
I do use them to assist in
assessment, analysis, and
communication of
student learning. Using

taking quizzes is very
helpful because it
automatically analyzes
the data for each question
and provides me with an
analysis of the questions
the students got right and
wrong and helps guide in
instruction for the future.

I do not think that my
teaching practice is to the
point that innovating
requires. But I make sure
that on every level my
parents and students
know exactly what is
expected of them. From
timely uploading of
students grades to
feedback and having my
class being as transparent
as possible so that the
parents know when
something is happening
and when everything is
due throughout the whole
year. I always provide the
parents with a number of
ways that they can access
me with questions or
concerns and I treat them
as partners in their
students learning with
me. With the addition of
our new international
coordinator we have been
able to use the available
technologies like
webcams and we chat to
keep in contact with our
overseas parents.
