In the fall of 2017, I taught four lessons to meet our standards regarding magnets. My class has 26
students. Six students are identified and served in the gifted program. Five students are English
Language Learners. Two students are on RTI Tier 2, with strategies to help them be more successful in
Reading. There are 12 boys and 14 girls in my class.
Before beginning our unit on Magnets, a pretest was given to all students to determine what they
already knew about magnets and the concepts that would be covered in our unit. The pretest was made
up of 5 questions and focused on characteristics of magnets and how they interact with other objects.
All questions were read aloud to all students. Most of the class completed the pretest and the post test
in a whole group setting, but I did pull one small group at a later time for the two students on RTI Tier 2
and ELL students. This allowed me to focus more closely on the individual needs of these students to
ensure that they understood each question.
Here is an example of the pretest and posttest:
My class scored an average 36% on the pretest and 90% on the posttest. According to those results,
their understanding of magnets and their characteristics improved after this unit.
