Assessments
iReady
As a kindergarten teacher at OLMCA, I used iReady weekly to help assess my students’ progresses in math and reading. Three times a year, I administered the diagnostic assessment, which gave me a basic idea of each student’s knowledge in both subjects.
Weekly, I would monitor their growth on the app/website and apply that knowledge to my lessons. I would also use the data to create interventions, if necessary.
I met with staff to discuss the school’s overall growth and potential areas of improvement.
Finally, I used data results as a way to show parents and other professionals a student’s prgress. This, along with other assessments, helped create a picture a specific student was at academically.
5 Day ELA/Literacy Assessment Plan
1st Grade
To the right is a 5 day ELA assessment plan I created for my class, Assessment in Early Childhood Inclusive Settings. Throughout the week, the plan focuses on assessing each student’s ability to listen, read, write, and speak about a chosen text. The week starts by focusing on the text and ends with student creating their own script from what they have learned. The days are color coded, starting on Monday and ending on Friday. I also was tasked with creating differentiated assessments for students H, O, and G. To the left, you will see the specific students’ needs. Their differentiated assessments are written for each day in the differentiated assessment section.
