Formal and Informal Assessment and Feedback Plan
Objectives		What Tasks, strategies, instruments		How The process, how often?		Why How do the selected tools support your learning goals and the learning principles guiding your design?
To enable continuous/ frequent feedback between you and the students and the mentee		Observation Class/ Group Discussion Questioning		Observe students throughout the lesson and during group work Question students as needed to check for information and comprehension Discuss with mentor to see which techniques are most effective		Provides the teacher an opportunity to check the student’s engagement Provides the student and teacher with a snapshot of what learning is taking place and it can be compared to the instructional technique. Allows the mentee and the mentor the opportunity to compare notes and improve technique.
To encourage the students and mentee to reflect on their learning progress and achievement		Discussion Reflection		At the end of each lesson or at the end of each instructional technique		This will allow for a break between lessons and should engage students and mentee to hone both the teaching and the learning processes.
To determine your students’ and mentee’s learning progress and achievement		Rubric Discussion Reflection		At the end of each lesson. At the end of each instructional technique. At the end of a group of related lessons.		This will assign a numerical value(for those that are logic minded) and allow for a grade scale to see improvement. To review what was taught and how, to gauge if one style with a lesson might be more effective than another.
