The DISCOVER Assessment & Curriculum Development Model: This model, which can be applied in any educational setting helps students build on their strengths in problem solving and multiple intelligence. DISCOVER focuses on continuum problem solving which involves clearly solved problems to open-ended problem. Criterion 1: Respect for individuals with diverse abilities, strengths, and goals (FULLY MET) In 1993, Maker created DISCOVER to embrace Gardner’s theory of multiple intelligence and designed
After assessing the pre-assessment it can be concluded that a majority of the students understood that a rural community consisted of farm land but was not familiar with the other terms presented. In Second grade the students were introduced and briefly taught about rural, urban, and suburban communities. Prior to assigning the assessment I asked students to raise their hands if they had heard these three terms previously, all students raised their hands but said they couldn’t remember what they
Differentiation According to Tomlinson, 1999 “this model provides a framework for responding to differences in students’ current and developing levels of readiness, their learning profiles, and their interests, to optimize the match between students and learning opportunities” (Tomlinson & Jarvis, 2009, p. 599). It takes into account student differences in “designing opportunities for each student to engage with information and ideas” (Tomlinson & Jarvis, 2009, p. 599) Criterion 1: Respect for individuals

Growing up my teachers did not give pre-assessments that often, or if they did, it was so embedded in the curriculum that I never noticed it. However, I have always liked the idea of giving the students something to measure their base knowledge with while providing you, the teacher, with the information you need to write lessons that will reach the students were they are at. Pre-assessments would be a good
Pre-Assessment The pre-assessment in Mr. Newman’s science class gave an overview of the student’s knowledge of the lesson on diversity and continuity of living things. Mr. Newman broke the lesson into three target objectives and his test was aligned to display the student’s content knowledge in each area. The pre-assessment showed that all students had some knowledge of the new material but no student was proficient in all three target objectives. This assessment data demonstrated that the students
Standard 6: Assessment I use various forms of formal and informal assessments within my lessons and my classroom. I use pretests, observation checklists, student check-ins, student conferences, student observations, student conversations/discussions, unit tests, Fountas and Pinnell Tests, NWEA score, rubrics, and posttests. I am always checking in with my students because I want my instruction to be purposeful and meaningful for my students. I use my assessments to guide and adapt my instruction
