Standard 5 - Assessing Students for Learning

Teachers apply knowledge of the purposes, characteristics, and uses of different types of assessments. They collect and analyze assessment data from a variety of sources and use those data to inform instruction. They review data, both individually and with colleagues, to monitor student learning. Teachers use assessment data to establish learning goals and to plan, differentiate, and modify instruction. They involve all students in self-assessment, goal setting and monitoring progress. Teachers use available technologies to assist in assessment, analysis, and communication of student learning. They use assessment information to share timely and comprehensible feedback with students and their families.

• use assessment results to monitor my teaching and guide planning and instruction?
• use assessment information to determine when and how to revisit content that has been taught?
• use assessment data to eliminate gaps between students’ potential and their performance?
• use assessment results to plan instruction to support English learners?
• use assessment results to plan instruction to support students' IEPs?
