Assessment Methods for Checking Student Understanding in Elementary and Special Education: A Narrative Analysis

Assessment Description
Checking for students’ understanding is a critical element of the instructional cycle. The teacher must use on-going assessments throughout the lesson, modify instruction according to the feedback (which will be explored in Topic 3), and conclude the lesson with an objective (rather than subjective) form of evidence of students’ learning.
Using the standard and learning objectives you selected and developed from Topic 1, in a 750-1,000 word narrative, identify five assessment methods to assess student progress.
For each of the five methods address the following:
Description and brief example of the method.
Explanation of how the method is implemented in your content area and grade level (K-8 elementary or K-12 special education).
Explanation of how the method assesses the standard and learning objectives from Topic 1.
Feedback provided to students and how it will engage students and motivate learning. Provide a specific example.
Support your narrative with a minimum of three scholarly resources.
