Clinical field experience d: analyzing pre-assessment data

Analyzing pre-assessment data to help you adjust your future instruction to reach students who may not have mastered the concept. Re-teaching a concept to a small group is a great way to practice the skill of using assessment data to drive instruction.

Allocate at least 3 hours in the field to support this field experience.

Part 1: Standards-Based Literacy Assessment

Working with your certified general education mentor teacher:

• Implement the pre-assessment you designed in Topic 4 with a small group of students.
• Using the data from the pre-assessment, design a learning activity to teach the literacy standard and aligned learning objective.
• Revise the activity based on your mentor’s feedback.

Use any remaining field experience hours to assist the teacher in providing instruction and support to the class.

Part 2: Preassessment Reflection

In 150-300 words, summarize your activity and reflect upon the preassessment data, the instruction you designed, and the feedback from your instructor.

Analyze and discuss how your activity implements instructional strategies that build reading fluency skills that are appropriate for the students in your field experience classroom.  

Explain how you used the pre-assessment data to help develop your lesson.
