 Reflection

I felt like I used a wide variety of sample assessments throughout my student

teaching placements. Not only did I use many types of summative assessments, but
I also incorporated many types of informal assessments throughout the week to
progress monitor the students and their level of learning. Without using different
types of assessments throughout the week I would have been unable to know if the
students were comprehending the information or if I needed to go more in depth
with a lesson. I feel I constructed many good assessments that let me determine if I
needed to reteach a lesson or continue to the next topic.
