<strong>Unit</strong> 5 <strong>Assessment</strong>: <strong>Preparation</strong> <strong>and</strong> <strong>Evaluation</strong> <strong>##</strong> Think about the content area in which<br />

you plan to teach. Evaluate <strong>and</strong> explain which assessment tools, methods, <strong>and</strong> types of diagnostic testing will best<br />

assess students in your content area. How will these tools, methods, <strong>and</strong> testing help you plan to avoid student failure?<br />

Also provide an example of the grading system that you would use. Explain what you would consider success or failure<br />

within your grading system. Be sure to use your textbook <strong>and</strong>/or Kaplan University library journal articles to support your<br />

choices. Select two of your classmates responses. Imagine that you are their teacher mentor. Review their assessment<br />

strategies <strong>and</strong> compare them to what you know about this topic through your textbook readings <strong>and</strong>/or journal articles.<br />

What are the strengths <strong>and</strong> weaknesses of the strategies they chose?<br />

This Discussion addresses the following unit learning outcomes:<br />

Discuss how diagnostic testing can help teachers plan to help students avoid failure.<br />

Choose a grading system to implement in a classroom.<br />

It also addresses the following course outcomes:<br />

ED531-2: Analyze reasons for student failure.<br />

ED531-3: Design assessment devices for multiple learning experiences.<br />

Remember that your goal for Discussion assignments is three-fold:<br />

1. To participate actively throughout the entire week.<br />

2. To contribute in a way that adds to the discussion <strong>and</strong> moves it forward in an original fashion.<br />

3. To use the course content to inform your posts <strong>and</strong> responses.<br />

Keep in mind that when you post, you should always reference items you cite be sure to use APA format for this. Also<br />

be sure to refer back to the rubric as often as you need to during the week. The class is all about sharing knowledge, so<br />

use discussions as a way of creating a community resource for yourself <strong>and</strong> your colleagues.<br />
