Before the school year, I
assessed my students on the
basics.
I did a preassessment for
math using the provided pre-
assessment. I was able to
determine where to spend
more time and where I could
probably spend less time
based on the data.
My students have taken the
iready diagnostic for reading
and math. I will then use that
data to determine the
individual students’ areas of
need.

analyze the data to
determine what I need to

Before a lesson I will
introduce a topic, then ask
the students what they
already know.

During a lesson I will do

multiple self-assessments
and informal assessments
where I check their papers
to make sure they are
doing it correctly. I will
then redirect my lesson
based on what I am
seeing.

After a lesson I will ask

about what we learned
and do another informal
assessment. If I have a lot
of wrong answers, I will
reteach the lesson. I also
clarify right then the
correct answer.

At the end of the chapter, I

will also do a formal
assessment.

I take the data from the

formal assessment and
see if any reteaching is
necessary.9/12/225/1/23
