In Week 1, you selected a standard for your unit plan along with three measurable learning objectives. This is the first step in creating any type of lesson or unit plan as we must know what knowledge we want our learners to acquire. Since we are following the backward design model for developing lesson plans, the next thing is to create our assessments: the evidence that will let us know our learners are acquiring the knowledge.

Prepare

Prior to beginning work on this assignment,

• Read      Chapter 5: Placement, Diagnostic, and Formative Assessment
• Review      your instructor’s feedback from Week 1 to make any necessary changes to      your learning objectives.
• Review      the following links on different ways you can formatively assess student      learning:
  • 56 Different Ways to Gather Evidence of Student Achievement (Links       to an external site.)
  • Examples of Formative Assessment       Exercises (Links to an external site.)
  • Fantastic, Fast Formative       Assessment Tools (Links to an external site.)

Reflect
