Teaching and Learning Sequence Instructional Decisions / Reasoning
I had this lesson and the video planned for a Monday March 16, 2020. However, school was shut
down for two weeks on March 15, meaning that this lesson did not get to happen. Instead, teachers
worked together to create packets of information for students to do, in addition to uploading work on
to Google Classroom. Another important piece of information is that we are not allowed to grade or
assess students on this work. Students 35 questions were supposed to be due on Tuesday March 17,
in order to give me time to look through them all and pick questions from all students. Although I do
have some of these questions attached, I have not received all of them, nor do I think I will get them
all, as distance learning is only meant for review and cannot be expected to be graded. Although this
situation is not idea whatsoever (and since this lesson plan the time off has been extended until April
26), I thought it was important to include this lesson in my TWS to show what I would have done if
we had continued school. Overall, while this is not an idea situation, I think that it is really important
to include this lesson in the 5-7 lessons of the TWS to show the end of the unit.
Standard 6: Assessment
6(q): Is committed to engaging students actively in assessment processes and to developing
each learner’s capacity to review and communicate about their own progress and learning.
Rationale: While I originally wanted to do a project with students, with so many
interruptions and snow days, my mentor and I decided that a one day summative assessment
plan would be the best option. I still wanted my students to be a large part in the assessment,
so by having students generate questions to use in their assessment. Additionally, my plan
was to read the test to students as they take it and then have time to discuss their thinking
behind their questions and the answers they put down. I was also considering having them
grade their own assessments, although this was unable to happen due to covid-19 and
shutting down schools for a period of time.
