Field Experience Assignment | Top Universities

For this field experience, you will assess students, provide them with feedback, and reflect on the summative assessment administration.

Part 1: Assessment

In the previous field experience, you designed and implemented a lesson that provided additional learning support to a selected group of students. In the final part of the assessment process, you will conduct a summative assessment for the same group of students.

Your summative assessment should be designed to determine mastery of identified standards. Prior to completing the assessment, review the pre-assessment to ensure appropriate concepts are measured in the final assessment. 

With permission, administer the assessment to the group of students. You may provide multiple assessment methods (oral, written, technology-driven, etc.), and differentiate assessment based on the needs of the students.

Part 2: Provide Feedback

Individually conference and review each student’s assessment results with him or her. During each conference, ask the following questions to engage the student.

• How do you feel about the lesson? 
• What was the most difficult?
• What was easy?

*During this time, begin with a positive strength of each student.

*Provide effective, descriptive feedback by identifying instructional goals for the student to continue working on. End on a positive note that shows compassion, justice, and concern.

Speak with your mentor teacher and, provided permission, use any remaining time to seek out opportunities to observe and/or assist your mentor teacher or another teacher and work with a small group of students on instruction in the classroom. Your mentor teacher must approve any hours spent observing another classroom environment.

Part 3: Reflection

Submit a 250-500 word reflection of your experience creating and administering a summative assessment, and providing effective student feedback.

*Why is it important to provide feedback to students? 

*How will this help them?

* Did the data you collected in the pre-assessment help you prepare an applicable summative assessment?

Submit a description or copy of your assessment, along with your reflection as one deliverable.

APA format is not required, but solid academic writing is expected.
