Assessments Midterm
1. Describe 6 key factors that include classroom assessments. How will
you adjust to address these factors in your classroom?
Six key factors that influence classroom assessment are alignment with
learning objectives, validity, reliability, fairness, student engagement, and
feedback quality. Alignment ensures that assessments measure the skills
and standards being taught. In my classroom, I will design tasks that
directly reflect my instructional goals, such as using comprehension
activities after a reading lesson. Validity ensures the assessment
measures what it intends to measure, so I will match tasks to specific
learning outcomes. Reliability will be maintained by using clear rubrics
and consistent scoring. Fairness will be addressed by providing
accommodations and offering students choices in how they demonstrate
learning. Student engagement will be promoted through interactive and
meaningful assessment methods. Finally, I will ensure that feedback is
timely and constructive, helping students understand their progress and
next steps.
2. What is the best method to build learning with students? How will you
make your teaching and learning match this need?
The best method to build learning with students is through active, student-
centered learning rooted in constructivist principles. Students learn most
effectively when they can connect new information to prior knowledge and
participate in hands-on, collaborative activities. To align with this approach, I
will incorporate inquiry-based lessons, discussions, and real-world
applications that allow students to construct understanding rather than
passively receive information.
3. What ways will differentiation impact your instruction and assessment
in the classroom?
Differentiation will significantly influence how I teach and assess by allowing
me to meet diverse learning needs, readiness levels, and interests.
Instructionally, this means offering varied materials, pacing, and supports so
that all students can access the content. Assessment practices will also be
flexible, allowing students to demonstrate understanding in different ways,
such as oral presentations, visual projects, or written responses.
