Reflection:

I have just collected the last consent form from the teachers that have agreed to participate in my research study. I’ve been evaluating what information I am going to use to relay the importance and relevance of using formative assessments to drive teacher instruction. This article resonated the importance of using formative assessments within a classroom to improve student achievement. This is an article that I can use as a resource to explain to my participants the reasons for implementing classroom assessments within their classrooms. I’m hoping that my participants begin implementing my material soon so that I can begin collecting and analyzing the data. Proof of the effectiveness of assessments is critical.
