I believe that assessment is key for not only

showing student learning, but also
I believe that management is the most important
factor governing student learning. My personal
management style will be focused on being
prepared and organized with consistent
procedures so my students know what is expected
of them every day. Below are my top five
management components:

enhancing student learning.

Use formative and interim assessment to

help adjust to students' needs.

Use quality filters on all assessments

(Gullen, 2008).

Develop assessments that are fair, and fits

each students learning styles and needs.

Norms and Procedures

Disciplinary Action

Instill Responsibility

Positive Relationships

Excitement (Love)

Grading is mandated by the state, and is the

most crucial part of effective
communication between the teacher and
stakeholders.

Communicate the purpose of grades.

Grade learning targets specifically

depending on content mastery.

Exhibit specific, timely, and clear

feedback for all assignments and
assessments (Fisher & Frey, 2009).

Use grades to alter future instruction.

Data is what I consider the game changer. It

can shape, change, and improve
instruction. I must use data effectively, timely,
and purposefully.

Accurately measure student learning

Use of all four measures of data,

demographic, perceptions, student
learning, and school process.

Truly useful data used for improvement

Choosing effective instructional strategies

Matches content standard-verb

Materials acquired
Does not extend past prior knowledge
Grade level appropriate
Students enjoy the activity

Making sure the strategy is effective
afterwards by acquiring data.
