Explain how you expect the interventions you developed to meet the needs of the student, incorporating his/her assessment results in your response.
By administering assessments and analyzing the results, targeted and individualized
interventions can be determined to best serve the needs of students with disabilities. The actual
implementation of the interventions provides teachers opportunities to collect data and gauge the
effectiveness of the interventions in addressing documented student needs. Teachers can also
gain important skills and knowledge on how to best advocate for practical classroom
interventions. Teachers will also be able to collaborate with colleagues and families in
mentoring students to take ownership of learning strategies.
Part 1: Assessment and Interventions
Collaborate with your cooperating teacher to create an informal assessment that could be
used to gauge student academic progress in reading, math, or another core content area.
Your informal assessment can include, but is not limited to, quizzes, exit tickets, or work
samples.
Select at least one (1) student to whom you will administer the informal assessment.
Score the assessment and share the results with the student to increase understanding of
his/her strengths and areas for improvement.
Collaborate with your cooperating teacher and the student to develop 2-3 interventions
based on the student assessment data to support the students progress in the classroom.
In addition, detail one intervention that can be incorporated at home with family support.
Part 2: Reflection
In a minimum of 1 page, summarize and reflect on the following:
o Describe the informal assessment.
o Describe your experience administering the assessment and sharing the results
with the student.
o Describe each intervention, including teacher, student, and family roles.
o Explain how you expect the interventions you developed to meet the needs of the
student, incorporating his/her assessment results in your response.
o Explain how you will use informal assessments in your current or future
professional practice.
Attach a copy of the informal assessment to the assignment link.
