Assignment and Assessment Description 

Part 2: Lesson Plan

• Read Section 1 and one grade level of your choice in the WIDA booklet (PDF) located in your course documents. Refer to this booklet as you create your lesson plan.
  
• Complete a lesson plan using the provided lesson plan template. Include a minimum of three different types of assessment data (can include but not limited to):

• Pre-Assessment
• How will the learning be measured?
• Formative Assessment
• Traditional Assessment
• Performance Assessment
• Student Self-Assessment

The intent is to show your ability to differentiate instruction and assessment throughout a lesson.  

• Thinking about the data that you collected in the two identified assessments in your lesson plan, write a reflective commentary about how the assessment data supports instructional decision making, and student engagement, and how it will inform future instructional decisions.  Remember that if an assessment does not tell you anything, then it really wasn’t worth conducting in the first place.

You will be graded according to the rubric below.
