Reflection on artifact:
This plan has been very successful. I have been very pleased with how the student has done, he is thrilled with
his work, and he is excited to work hard every week. Each Friday we have a test, he takes his test and a text
book to the small group reading table and I join him. He crosses out answers he knows are incorrect, asks
questions, and uses his book. As a result his scores have drastically improved from an average of 5.75 points
per week to 8.25 points per week.
In the future I would like to recognize struggles I am seeing and share my concerns with parents earlier. It was
fortunate conferences were early this school year and I was able to talk to these parents early in the school
year. I will not always have conferences approaching to share concerns. I will need to contact parents in other
forms, be it phone calls or emails, to discuss student achievement, interventions, or assessments I would like
to perform to benefit their student.
