Benchmark Homework: Small Group Assessment Plan
Part I: Pre-Assessment Using Non-Standardized Assessments
Begin this homework by pre-assessing a small group of students as a continuation of your clinical field experience in Topic. In this field experience, you were asked to select a developmentally appropriate and engaging technology-based assessment that was implemented with your identified small group. After assessing the children, write a 250 to 500 word summary of the experience. Describe the academic area you assessed, the assessment tool used, the results of the pre-assessment, and your considerations regarding differentiation (why you did or did not differentiate the assessment.) When recording the assessment results, keep the information confidential and use pseudonyms for the students.
Part II: Design and Deliver a Lesson
In your Topic 5 field experience you were asked to design and deliver a lesson. Reflecting on your experience, you identified differentiations you would make to your lesson, assessment, and/or assessment procedures in the future. Revise and complete your lesson plan to reflect these differentiations.
Part III: Analyze Post-Assessment Data and Communicate the Assessment Results
After delivering the lesson and post-assessment, begin analyzing the pre- and post-assessment data. Select one student with exceptionalities to provide additional assistance at home. Write a 250 to 500 words letter to send home to the family of this student that provides feedback regarding his or her performance. This letter should include information regarding the assessment data and suggest a research-based at-home activity that the parents can facilitate to support their child's development in the domain area. In addition provide the family a rationale as to why that specific activity is appropriate for meeting their child's needs, including how the activity supports the child's transition for the next grade level.
