Final Project Proposal

For my final assessment project I will use the learning targets that I developed for my Social Studies unit and create several assessments for that unit. I will create a pre-assessment to get an understanding of what my students already know about the content I will be covering. I will also create quizzes to be used as formative assessments. These quizzes will be given to students throughout the unit. Their purpose will be to inform my instruction. Finally, I will create a paper and pencil test that will be used as a summative assessment. All assessment will be aligned with my learning targets.

Learning Targets Final

These learning targets are for a third grade unit on kinds of communities. I started by looking at the objectives listed for each lesson in the teacher's guide. I then looked at the taxonomies of learning targets. I am interested in getting feedback on the verbs associated with the learning targets.
