Personal Reflection:

Was the lesson successful? What evidence do you have that the instructional goals were met, or not met? Were the strategies appropriate? What materials or resources do you need to add to the lesson? What would you do again, what would you change?

Analysis of Student Work:

Look at the student work generated by this assignment.

Based on the goals indicated in your lesson plan divide the work into four categories:

  • fully and competently met the standard
  • met the standard but could use support to become more proficient
  • did not fully meet the standard
  • significantly below standard

Select one sample of student work from each category and submit it with an annotated page indicating what instructional strategies you will use in a follow up lesson to further support the student’s academic growth.

Next, analyze which students have work samples in the two categories that did not meet the standard. Determine if there are any factors that these students have in common. Write no more than one page to indicate what targeted strategies you can use to assist these students as a group to become more successful in your classroom.
