The assessment cycle is an important part of the classroom environment. As early as the first week of school, teachers observe their students’ academic abilities and classroom behaviors, and assess learning progress. Based on their observations, teachers modify instruction to differentiate for individual students, and communicate feedback that allows students to set achievable learning goals and foster ownership of learning.

For this assignment, create a graphic representation of the assessment cycle. The graphic representation should include the following assessment stages:

1. Observing student performance
2. Designing instruction
3. Pre-assessing students
4. Analyzing pre-assessment data and observations
5. Delivering instruction
6. Post-assessing students
7. Analyzing post-assessment data
8. Providing feedback to students and other stakeholders.

For each stage in the assessment cycle, write a 50-100 word description outlining the teacher’s responsibility during each stage of the cycle, the student’s role during each stage, and the use of data in each stage to support the next step in the assessment process.

Discuss how each of the eight steps fit into the assessment cycle as illustrated in the “Assessment Process” resource.

APA style is not required, but solid academic writing is expected.

You must proofread your paper. But do not strictly rely on your computer’s spell-checker and grammar-checker; failure to do so indicates a lack of effort on your part and you can expect your grade to suffer accordingly. Papers with numerous misspelled words and grammatical mistakes will be penalized. Read over your paper – in silence and then aloud – before handing it in and make corrections as necessary. Often it is advantageous to have a friend proofread your paper for obvious errors. Handwritten corrections are preferable to uncorrected mistakes.

Use a standard 10 to 12 point (10 to 12 characters per inch) typeface. Smaller or compressed type and papers with small margins or single-spacing are hard to read. It is better to let your essay run over the recommended number of pages than to try to compress it into fewer pages.

Likewise, large type, large margins, large indentations, triple-spacing, increased leading (space between lines), increased kerning (space between letters), and any other such attempts at “padding” to increase the length of a paper are unacceptable, wasteful of trees, and will not fool your professor.

The paper must be neatly formatted, double-spaced with a one-inch margin on the top, bottom, and sides of each page. When submitting hard copy, be sure to use white paper and print out using dark ink. If it is hard to read your essay, it will also be hard to follow your argument.
