Assessment
Assessments are one of the many ways students achievements and performances are measured. Both formal and informal assessments are used in a variety of way.
Data collection is one of the many informal assessments I have used throughout my 15 weeks of student teaching. Data collection is essential to monitoring IEP goals and is one of the only ways to assess whether a student is progressing or regressing. I take data by using a system of checkmarks, tallies, and a slashed circle to represent whether or not the student completed the task and if prompts were needed. An example of my data collection is below.
Another form of informal data collection is informal interviews and collection inventories. I used both of these while writing transition goals for a student in High School. I interviewed the student, his parents, teachers, and transition coordinator. The information collected during face-to-face interviews and on collection inventories helped me to form ideas surrounding my students potential transition goals.
