Module 6

I can help my students become self-directed learners by using formative assessments throughout the project, giving them a picture of what they are going to be learning, giving the students continuous feedback throughout the project to let them know their progress, and allowing the students to assess themselves throughout the project as well.

I can support the diverse needs of my learners by scaffolding throughout the project. I will show different examples for students to use, students will be able to monitor their own progress, limit the choices that students have to choose from, use graphic organizers, checklists, and rubrics throughout the project.

Module 5

I assess student learning informally as well as formally. I assess students with discussions, checklists, rubrics, journals, questioning, and tests.

I involve students with the assessment process by discussing with them, they help design the checklists and rubrics, and they self-assess at the end of the lesson or unit.

Module 4

By creating a student sample it will help me clarify my unit's expectations and will improve the instructional design. A student sample will make sure the student's can complete all of the expectations, that they will be able to complete all of the objectives, that the student's will be able to complete all of the activities in a timely manner, and it will allow me to identify content that needs to be taught.


I can ensure the students will achieve the learning objectives when creating their student projects by assessing them throughout the project informally and formally. I will also use checklists throughout the project so the students will know what to complete next and a rubric at the end of the project so the students can assess themselves.
