Clinical Field Experience A: Assessment Analysis

Part 1: Observation
Observe and collaborate with a secondary education teacher in a humanities content area. Use the
“Assessment Analysis” template to take note of how the teacher implements pre-assessment, formative, and
summative assessments.
Use any remaining field experience hours to assist the mentor teacher in providing instruction and support to
the class.
Part 2: Discussion Summary
After your observation, discuss the following with your mentor teacher and create a 150-200 word summary of
the following:
The pre-assessment and formative assessment processes implemented in the classroom. Why the specific
approach was used in the class.
How assessment results were used to inform instruction.
How feedback from the formative assessment was provided to students.
Types of summative assessments implemented in the classroom. Why they are beneficial for teaching in your
content area.
How feedback from the summative assessment is provided to students.
Opportunities offered for remediation and enrichment.
How assessments were differentiated, including accommodations made when needed, to ensure that all
students can participate in the assessments.
