Assessment Description: As a part of the instructional planning process, educators must consider student background, development, and other factors that could influence the performance outcomes of the student. Often, educators begin collecting essential data early in an academic year and continue to monitor and track student learning and growth regularly. Educators use the data collected to support instructional planning and provide learning opportunities to support student needs. Your principal is preparing to conduct your annual review. Prior to your formal observation, your principal has requested that you provide details on your data gathering and evaluation methods, and how you evaluate student needs. In 750-1,000 words, respond to the following questions in email format: How do you build rapport with young children at the beginning of an academic year (include two examples)? How do you evaluate (observation, formal assessments, informal assessments) student developmental and/or academic needs based on developmental milestones and state standards for both typical and atypical development? How does this evaluation approach align with the learning cycle? What organizational strategies do you use to track behavioral challenges and students' developmental and academic progress? How does the student-teacher ratio affect the planning of developmentally appropriate instruction? What are two ways you collaborate with families to gather student information. Need Assignment Help?
