Introduction:
Teachers are responsible for using a variety of progress-monitoring strategies to evaluate and support student achievement. These strategies include formative and summative assessments, which are always part of lesson plans and should be aligned to both objectives and standards. In this task, you will describe a formative and summative assessment to support a three-part learning objective. The summative assessment will also include an evaluation tool. You will describe how you will use the assessment and evaluation tool to measure student performance.
A. Create a three-part learning objective that includes behavior, condition, and measurable criterion.
B. Describe a formative assessment, that could be used to monitor a student’s progress in meeting the learning objective in Part A, including a sample of what might be on the formative assessment (e.g., questions, things you might observe).
1. Describe how you will collect data when using the formative assessment in Part B.
2. Describe how you will provide specific feedback to students about their performance on the formative assessment from Part B.
a. Describe how the formative assessment feedback in Part B2 will help student progress in meeting the learning objective in Part A.
C. Attach the following to evaluate mastery in meeting the learning objective in Part A.
• Summative assessment
• Evaluation tool (e.g., rubrics, checklists, answer keys) for the summative assessment.
Note: The attachments may not be submitted as cloud links, such as links to Google Docs, Google Slides, OneDrive, etc. File types can be a PDF, Word document, or jpeg of the assessment/evaluation tool.

Using the TEA T-PESS Assistant Principal Self-Assessment Rubric, complete the following: After reflecting on personal skills and knowledge areas as identified by the current principal standards, complete the Self-assessment form (pages 3 – 24 only) by providing a Beginning of Year (BOY) rating for each of the indicators. The purpose is to identify and reflect on your administrative-related skills and knowledge as you begin your Practicum. The outcomes of this assignment should be a basis for completing your Plan of Action Part 1. (20 points) There will be areas you have not yet experienced, or have experienced only slightly. Do not hesitate to rate yourself as Needs Improvement or Developing in these areas. Provide one to two paragraphs as the rationale for your ratings in the comment boxes at the end of each section.

Topic: Conflicting research reports state both that students think online classes are as good or better than in person courses (Wood, 2021) AND that online courses are worth less than in person courses because online is “not as good” (Newton, 2021). The pandemic created the need for many college courses to go online and the haste in which the in-person courses were presented for students online causes quality and acceptance issues. However, the overall pros and cons of online courses has not changed much over time and this college website (Montgomery College, n.d.) lists 10 pros and 10 cons of online learning: Advantages and Disadvantages of Online Courses In this great debate, tell us what you think! Are online courses as good or better than in person courses? Not as good? Do these pros and cons about cover it? How will you use this pros and cons list and strategies or tips from other sources to make this a great semester? References Montgomery College. (n.d.)
