Assessment & Reflection

How I measure learning, reflect on practice, and use data to support diverse learners.

📊 Assessment & Reflection Page 

Welcome to my Assessment & Reflection portfolio. This space highlights the ways I measure student learning and adapt my teaching to meet diverse needs. From formative checks like exit tickets and journals to summative projects and peer feedback, assessment is not just about grades — it’s about growth. Reflection is woven into every step, helping me and my students set goals, track progress, and celebrate success.

Reflection is central to my practice — I continuously adjust instruction to meet the needs of diverse learners.

📋 Assessment Overview 

Assessment in my classroom is continuous and student-centered. I use a balance of formative and summative approaches to capture both immediate learning needs and long-term growth. These assessments inform my planning, guide instructional choices, and empower students to take ownership of their learning.

🌟 Highlights at a Glance

✅ Formative Assessment in Action 

Formative assessments give me real-time insights into student understanding and guide my next steps. These tools help me identify misconceptions early and tailor lessons to meet learner needs.

Examples I use include:

• Exit tickets and quick checks

• Daily dictation and journals

• Interactive polls and Q&A

• Small-group activities

📝 Summative Assessment in Action 

Summative assessments provide a broader picture of student mastery and growth over time. They allow me to evaluate cumulative learning and celebrate student achievements.

Examples I use include:

• Unit and chapter tests

• Writing projects with rubrics

• Class presentations and performances

• End-of-term exams

🤔 Reflection Practices 

Reflection transforms assessment into growth. Both students and I engage in reflection to ensure learning is intentional, meaningful, and adaptive.

Student Reflection:

• Self-assessment checklists

• Peer feedback activities

• Goal-setting exercises
  
  

Teacher Reflection:

• Journals and planning notes

• Reviewing assessment data for instructional shifts

• Adjusting pacing and scaffolds for diverse learners

🌟Impact

The true impact of assessment and reflection is seen in how it shapes learning. By closing gaps early, differentiating instruction, and supporting neurodiverse and multilingual learners, my students develop confidence and ownership of their progress.

Impact in my classroom includes:

• Data-driven lesson adjustments

• Inclusive strategies for ELL/ASD students

• Identifying learning gaps early

• Building resilience and student voice

🌼Closing Note 

Assessment and reflection are not end points but part of a continuous learning cycle. They shape how I teach, how students learn, and how we grow together. By focusing on progress as much as achievement, I strive to build a classroom culture where every learner can see their growth and every success is celebrated.
