  Case: New Teacher Blues
A teacher has been working in the education profession for two years. 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!)
First of all, it is mandatory that you receive a certain amount of evaluations as a teacher. I would have to address that concern with your prinicipal. If your students take any assessments provided through the district, that data should be able to be examined by you. I would make sure I give a pre and post test for each unit. In addition, I would informally assess my students weekly and use that data to enrich or remediate.
