Individual Lesson Assessment Reflection-

DIRECTIONS: INCLUDE ALL 2 SECTIONS BELOW

SECTION 1: Reflection in Action

1. What were the formative assessment results each day in each of the content lessons?
How would you use the results the next day in your planning and why? Did you expect these
results? Why or Why not?

Language Arts/SS:

The students got an X if they could do that part

Student: Can write a Can retell part Identified the

sentence: of the story: familys needs:

Results:

This lesson was combined with language arts and social studies. The first row was if the student was able
to write a sentence, using a capital letter, ending in a punctuation mark and having spaces in between
words. The second two rows were what they wrote in that sentence, were they able to retell part of the
story, and identifying the familys needs. The X mark determines which student was able to do that

Cummins, L. 2019
section, if it is blank they could not. Overall, I am very pleased with the results of the students sentence
strips. 19 out of 21 students were able to write what the familys needs were in the story. 17 out of 21
students were able to retell part of the story in their sentence. Lastly, 15 out of 21 were able to write a
sentence. When moving onto my next lesson, I would encourage the students to write complete
sentences rather than incomplete. They need to use capital letters and punctuation marks as well, this
will prepare them for our unit lesson.

Science:

Results:

The graph shows how the students did when writing a sentence about the suns characteristics. This first
row is if the student can write a sentence, including a capital letter at the beginning, punctuation at the
end and spaces in between words. The second row is if they used the sentence starter provided and the
third is if they could identify one characteristic of the sun. The results did not surprise me one bit. 17 out
of 21 students were able to write a sentence, which is the usual students who have been having a hard
time on a sentences. 18 out of 21 students used a sentence starter that was provided to them at the top
of the paper. 20 out of 21 students could identify a characteristic of the sun, which means 99% of them

learned the content. Before moving on, practicing writing sentences is something that needs to be
worked on.

Math:

An X shows if the student wrote the correct 2 equations for addition and the correct 2 equations for
subtraction.

Student: Two correct Two correct

Results:

In the chart above shows the data on if the students can write two addition equations correctly and two
subtraction equations correctly as a fact family by looking at the domino given to them. I was not
pleased at all by these results, I was actually shocked. Equations are something the students write every
single day during number corner, therefore writing an equation is not new to them. 15 out of 21
students wrote two correct addition equations by looking at their domino. 11/21 students wrote two
subtraction equations correctly. This shows to me that we need to review more of subtraction than

Cummins, L. 2019
equation, when writing equations for a fact family. Addition needs reviewed as well but not as much
time needs to be spent on that.

2. When reflecting on the feedback you provided for the 2 students and the whole class, do you
feel this effectively provided them with insight into their learning about the content? Why?

Honestly, when looking back at how I provided feedback to all the students, it was not as effective
towards the content they were learning. It was helpful and encouraging but not towards the
content. I believe this because the language arts/social studies feedback was mostly on their
sentence structure and correcting their sentence rather than the content. The feedback on the math
equations was oral, therefore the students have nothing to look back at when writing more fact
family equations. The students only fixed what they were told to as I walked around.

3. How did you or will you help students use this feedback?

During future lessons, I helped the students use the feedback on the sentences by referring back to
the sentences they wrote and corrections they made. This will give the students a visual example on
a perfect sentence they wrote. Students who struggle on writing sentences will improve by doing
this. Writing a sentence is part of being in first grade and each of them have to master this before
moving onto second.

4. Describe what you learned about teaching and learning related to assessment and feedback?

During lesson week, I learned that it is important to keep track and take notes for yourself while
assessing students. This will give a reminder and note of how that student did and if they had a hard
time or not. I also learned to give a variety of different feedback not just one. Giving formative
assessments throughout the lesson is extremely important and will provide data all throughout.
Formative assessments help teachers differentiate their lessons on where their students should be at. In
my tech class, this is the first time I ever had create a formative assessment and give feedback both at
the same time. Giving students positive feedback and seeing their reaction Is such a great feeling to me.
As a teacher, it is important to make sure you give the most efficient yet, effective feedback to the
students so they can learn from their mistakes.

5. What would you have done differently during this lesson week? Why?

If I could go back and do something different during my lesson week, I would redo my math lesson. I
found that my students did not understand what a fact family was and I might have moved too fast for
them. I also think I might have done too many activities rather than focusing on the content and making
sure they understood the content. My students are visual learners, so I had hands-on activities but I had
too many hands-on activities where they were constantly moving from one thing to another all within
the hour. This is something I need to look into when writing all my lesson plans, I have all of these ideas
and try to squeeze them into one lesson with the students. For my science lesson, the students were
bored for the drag and drop. Next time, I would not have every student come up to the board one at a
time to do it, I would put them in groups so they task on task and work together for the answer. Overall,

Cummins, L. 2019
I believe my lessons went smooth and there was not much that went wrong besides the things I stated
above.

What did you learn about yourself? What will you do differently for the unit and for student teaching
based on this data?

After reviewing this data, I learned things about myself that I did not know. Giving this survey, I told my
students they needed to tell the truth on the whole thing so that I can become a better teacher and I
believe they did just that. Having a relationship and good rapport is so important to me. I want the
students to trust me and tell me the truth, which is why they filled it out the way they did. It makes me
feel good that my students know that I care about them and want them to succeed in school. I am
always there for support and if they need me. My students gave me several good (happy is how I
explained it to them) things about myself such as, the students knowing that I am here to help them,
that I like them asking questions and them answering my questions, I make class interesting and get
them to want to learn more, and making sure the students do their best. Some of the areas that they
showed weakness is, telling the students how to connect one subject to another subject, reviewing what

Cummins, L. 2019
we learned after each lesson, and making sure they understand what is being taught. I did not realize
that these are weaknesses of mine, but I am happy the students pointed it out to me, that way I can
work on it and improve for student teaching. In unit week, I need to make sure I connect each subject to
each other and provide a sense of closure for the students in every lesson. My goal is to learn from this
survey and work on fixing my weaknesses that way I can be an effective teacher for the young students.
