  Case: Benchmarks
Benchmarks are given at the beginning of each grading period. Often times, I analyze the data at the beginning but fail to refer back to it as the grading period progresses. I usually rely on quizzes and other formative assessments to guide instruction. What has helped you remember and make time to refer back and adjust lessons according to benchmarks and other forms of pre assessments?
Solution: (Rates are posted for this solution!)
In my internship, my cooperating teacher had a binder that she constantly kept at her desk and referred to. It had the data inside it and she would add to it almost daily with pre and post assessments. Also, she had a pre and post assessment that she gave at the beginning and end of every lesson. She would have the students take the pre assessment, then have the students check to see which answers they got write and wrong and keep the data themselves, this way they could see which questions specifically they improved on and which ones needed to be retaught.

Comments: While I may not go as far as giving a pre-assessment before every lesson, it's good in theory. Having some way to show their growth over time, however, would be a nice marker for the students as well as the teachers.
