Evaluate 3 - Personalized Teaching and Learning

Action Plan: 

Student Learning: At least 90% of eight grade students will demonstrate at least 5% progress toward reaching mastery (80%) on their overall District Assessments Math scores within each nine weeks.

Professional Practice: Assessment will be done through formative assessments such as ticket out door, warm ups, and quick checks within the lesson. Also, weekly quizzes will be given throughout to monitor growth. Data will be use to constant develop lessons, group assignments and individual focuses.

Student that are weak in each, which is solving functions, will go through a reteaching module that will go over the content again. Then students will work with the content through group work, mini assignments, small group session with the teacher, and digital stations and activities. They will be reassessed weekly and broken into smaller group based on the exact skills needed for mastery.

If students are weak in multiple or all standards, the best thing is to start with the weakest skill and build off that with the other standard while constantly reviewing and assessing mastery on previous standards. Those students will also be asked to attend a remediation class session outside of the usual time to get extra tutorial and one on one time.  

Answer: Data that is organized like above can help teachers spot the weaknesses and the needs of the students very quickly. It gives an insight of what the student knows and what they need more help on. This can be very beneficial in a LMS because each student can follow a learning path that is individualized on their needs and skills. So, students who require remediation can have receive it as well as those who require accelerations. Data should drive instruction, so if the data shows that the students are not progressing or that everyone has mastered the skill quickly, I can adjust my lessons quickly.
