Assessment Plan

This assessment plan has been created for an 8th grade Dance 2A
class. The gender make up is about 50/50 with girls and boys. There
are 20 students in the class, which is a relatively small class size for
the dance department. In this class there are no special education
students, and the class as a whole is generally on-task. There are
about 5 gifted and talented students, but they interact well with others
and focus attentively.
The assessments given in my class will all be informal. Most
assessments will be performance/participation based: a student will
perform the provided task and based on their participation will receive
a grade. From the performance I can watch and gather information on
what students have understood and what students have not
understood. From here, I can choose to address the issues on a classwide or individual basis. Because what I see will inform my future
instruction, this is also a type of formative assessment.
