I decided to use Google Forms for this assessment mainly because my student is not in currently in Colorado. I also chose it because I have used it to collect data in the past and found it to be very useful.
After the pre-assessment, it was clear that Jordan did very well identifying the correct parts of speech in sentence form, but struggled to match the parts of speech to their definition. We discussed her results and the next steps over the phone. She said that none of her teachers had ever asked her to set personalized learning
goals, so we discussed what those looked like and I provided her with some examples. I thought the
personalized learning goals she set were insightful and interesting. It’s really cool to see how someone else’s mind processes something that is so second nature to me as a college graduate.
I believe that with proper guidance Jordan will be experience success through these touchstones. I will tailor my lesson plan to target her weaknesses surrounding the eight parts of speech. It’s also possible that during the lesson we may uncover some additional weaknesses that will need to be address as well.

(Curiosity, Concentration) • Game (10 minutes): Create a category, such as “verbs that begin with the letter s”, and write a list of 10 examples. Then have students do the same and try to get as many words on my list as possible. (Context, Coaching, Curiosity)

• Q&A (5 minutes): Ask the students a question every 10 minutes. Question can be about what you have just taught or what you are about to teach. Q&A serves as a mini assessment. I can see if my students understand what I have taught them and what they know about the upcoming topics. (Coaching, Context, Curiosity)
Stage 4 Feedback Strategies, including Timeliness (Module 5)
Providing feedback, both verbal and written, to my students will be a great opportunity to practice using a growth mindset. According to Goodwin and Hubbell, “It’s best to remove all controlling language from our teacher talk and student feedback and focus instead on encouraging, motivating, and guiding their learning” (2013). I do not plan to give the assessment a letter grade, but I plan to provide noncontrolling feedback to them understand how they can improve for their final assessment. I plan to provide all feedback to my students within 24-48 hours of submission to ensure that the lesson is still fresh on their minds.
