Evaluate Learning Reflection

   
Evaluate: Quality Feedback

This assignment prepared me to show mastery for Standard D: " The online teacher promotes student success through clear expectations, prompt responses, and regular feedback." I learned that quality feedback is very helpful. I now understand that I have to make sure that I give opportunities for students to be responsible of their learning, and great feedback will give more responsibility to the student by giving them opportunities to reteach themselves through videos and research. It truly changed the need to just correct students mistakes and take the opportunity of self teaching to occur.

Evaluate: Formative Assessments

This assignment ensured that I mastered the standard H: "The online teacher develops and delivers assessments, projects, and assignments that meet standards-based learning goals and assesses learning progress by measuring student achievement of the learning goals." Not only did I learn about the importance of creating tools that measure student progress in mastering standards. I got to break out of the box and find fun ways to assess student and differentiate to all types of students' learning styles.

Evaluate: Summative Assessments

This assignment prepared me for the Standard H;"The online teacher develops and delivers assessments, projects, and assignments that meet standards-based learning goals and assesses learning progress by measuring student achievement of the learning goals." The lesson that was the most beneficial because it help me know how to ensure that the assessments are adequate by ensuring they are reliable, secure, and feedback. I think that lesson has improved my teaching practice the most because you need data from assessments, but you have to ensure that the data is valid. 

Evaluate: Personalized Teaching and Learning

  Lastly, the evaluate module has prepared me to not only prepare for the reflecting on assessing students but also assessing myself. Standard I: "The online teacher demonstrates competency in using data from assessments and other data sources to modify content and to guide student learning." was mastered by looking at data and reflecting on what needs to be done to best help my students. I learned about the importance of data like using assessment data to determine instruction. I also saw the importance of creating competencies for standards and using them to ensure true mastery of the standards. Also, taking the time to reflect on my instruction daily, allowed me to become reflective of my practices in the class and give me a chance to make decision that will ultimately help me become a better teacher. 

In the end, this module helped my overall teaching philosophy, which is ensuring every child learns the way they need to, to their benefit, in their own way. By learning how to assess students and use the data to determine the learning path, I will be able to figure out what every student needs for them to be successful. The most the important thing I need to remember is no two students are the same and I have to try my hardest to make sure I work for the needs of all my students at all times.
