"Reflect on your use of assessment in the classroom. On a scale of 1-10, ten being the highest, how would you rate yourself? What are your plans for becoming a "10" if you are not already there? How are you using assessment in the classroom to guide your instruction? Describe how assessment results are use to differentiate instruction within your class."
I would rate myself at a "6" for assessment. In my Algebra Extensions class I often use exit tickets to assess my students, but I am not consistent with it, and believe I need to be more consistent so that I can better see where all of my students are at. I originally used assessments to split my students into three groups for station rotation. Students are organized based upon ability level. This allows me to successfully differentiate instruction because I focus on different topics with different students based on their examples. For example, we are currently doing a unit on fractions. For my lower students we are working on visually representing fractions, as well as important fraction definitions. With my higher-level students I am working on word problems involving fractions, and even having them write their own word problems.
From your plan here I would say that you are more at a 7 or 8. You are really paying attention to your students levels. Meeting them there and offering extension activities. You are balancing all of this to make your students successful.
