While having strong instructional delivery is critical to a successful lesson, the bottom line is did the students learn? Quality assessments integrated with quality instruction is the secret to learning. My assessment style is based on using pre-assessments, formative and summative assessments combined with constructive and frequent feedback. Performing a variety of assessments guides instruction and helps students know what is expected of them, supports their learning, and allows them to demonstrate the mastery of the skills they need to be successful.

• Pre-assessments, formative and summative assessments combined with constructive and frequent feedback is one way I keep records of pupil learning.  *Record of Pupil Learning – Two Week Unit

• Rubrics allow students to demonstrate mastery of skills.  * Solar System Model Rubric

• Here is an example of a summative assessment I created for a science unit. *Solar System Summative Assessment
