For this assignment, you will create assessments for the lesson you developed in Topic 2. Add these to the Multiple Means of Expression section of the “COE Lesson Plan Template.” (attached)

Pre-Assessment

Create an engaging, developmentally appropriate pre-assessment based on the lesson that would assess prior knowledge and skill level (reading, writing, listening, and speaking) necessary to implement your lesson. This assessment will be implemented in Clinical Field Experience B.

Formative Assessment

Questioning is one form of formative assessment. Create three questions that can be integrated into the lesson you created that would help to check for understanding, determine immediate modifications needed during instruction, and provide specific feedback to the students.

Summative Assessment

Create an assessment you could use to measure student learning of the objectives of your lesson.

Write a 250-500 word analysis on how to use both formative and summative assessment data to determine how to modify instruction or identify the next steps in the learning process. Why is it important to differentiate both your formative and summative assessments for students with various abilities? What student background information would you need to know in order to differentiate the assessments?

APA format is not required, but solid academic writing is expected.
