The Assessment Cycle

The assessment cycle is an important part of the classroom environment. As early as the first week of
school, teachers observe their students’ academic abilities and classroom behaviors and assess learning progress. Based on their observations, teachers modify instruction to differentiate for individual students, and communicate feedback that allows students to set achievable learning goals and foster ownership of
learning.

For this assignment, create a graphic representation of the assessment cycle. The graphic representation should include the following assessment stages:

Observing student performance
Designing instruction
Pre-assessing students
Analyzing pre-assessment data and observations
Delivering instruction
Post-assessing students
Analyzing post-assessment data
Providing feedback to students and other stakeholders.
For each stage in the assessment cycle, write a 50-100 word description outlining the teacher’s
responsibility during each stage of the cycle, the student’s role during each stage, and the use of data
in each stage to support the next step in the assessment process.

Discuss how each of the eight steps fits into the assessment cycle as illustrated in
the “Assessment Process” resource.
