Meet with students one on one before they turn in big projects so we can go over the rubric and they can walk me through what level they think they earned and we can discuss what is accurate and what sort of alterations should be made to reach full satisfaction in exemplary scores. 

Breaking down the progress aspect for students to see all the small steps they've taken over time and use a method of data tracking for students to pin point what they've accomplished.

Expand on my SMART goals and have check ins with students more frequently.

I plan to have checkins with my students every week about their semester smart goals. They will track their progress towards completion each week in a journal and assess what changes need to be made thoruhgout the term and semester. 

Getting student feedback on assessments is important and I want to try to implement that more often. I typically do it at the end of the semester and by then they probably have forgotten valuable feedback they could give me on a project or assessment. 

The daily checkin is great. I use to do something like that in the past and I need to implement it again. 

Keeping an open line of communication with parents is helpful. I also enjoyed reading about eliminating barriers. That is something I often forget to consider when designing assessment for my students. 

Getting feedback early and often I find to be the best and most effective. That way, I can intervene early if something is not making sense for students. 

I learned that is not about changing the student in order for them to do better. It's about understand their environment and seeing how we as instructors make adjustments to help the student perform better on exams or just in the classroom

I plan to work harder within my lesson planning to allow my students to explore the many ways they can complete an assessment. I want to make assessment fun, yet encouraging for my ESL, 504, IEP, & ELL students. I learnt that the teacher is in control and all students should be prepared for the real world. Students shouldn't have to memorize answers they should be able to come to a solution utilizing the skills/techniques and knowledge they've acquired.
