Assessment Data: Lesson’s Learned “This part of the lesson lacked an appropriation for time during the newspaper reading.” “I should have aligned the pre-assessment… Unfortunately, the content based pre-assessment gave me no information - other than the fact that students had never heard of Lyndon B. Johnson.” “I will include more “out of text” questions for students to practice their skills of critical thinking in reading comprehension for future lessons.” “Needless to say, tomorrow I will start out with the manipulatives as I should have today.”
Assessment Data Skittles Impact
