In approaching the third year of teaching, this teacher has realized that they have an issue with effectively using assessments to drive instruction. This teacher has had few evaluations from administrators and little feedback on what they are doing well with or how they can improve instruction. What can this new teacher do to provide quality instruction for their students? Solution: (Rates are posted for this solution!) Use a site such as Edmodo Snapshot to test students on every standard they are required to master that year. Based on that data, pull small groups and serve them on whatever standard they need help mastering. At the end of the small group, spend 5-10 minutes coverin and practicing the new standard required that week based on the curriculum map. If you don't address the old skills they are lacking, they will not master the new skills. After re teaching, give a Snapshot on that standard to see if they have improved. Drive instruction off of those results. Use a weekly standards based progress reports to inform students, parents, and other stakeholders of progress on each standard each week. This can also be used to assign differentiated homework, and it lets parents know what skills to also work on at home.
