Note: As mentioned previously, in preparation for implementation of the formative assessment if you have access to a classroom you may use these students. If you do not have access to a classroom, you may use same grade level students in your family, neighbors, friends. Also in preparation for the assessment is the implementation of a lesson plan. Although this course does not specifically teach “lesson planning”, it teaches assessment, which are the student outcomes of the teaching and learning process, assessment is not devoid of planning. Therefore, it is suggested that you use a previously developed lesson plan, or you may choose a sample plan from Engage NY or Achieve the Core , which you can modify/differentiate to accommodate the learners with whom you will be working. Do not use resources from Teachers Pay Teachers as these resources are not typically rigorous and have not been tested for validity and reliability (to understand these terms see Module 10).
