Fall 2022 - Assessment Cycle Planning

RED 4312/6313- Planning for Time with Your Student

Assessment Cycle Assignments

Use this guide as you plan for the Assessment Cycle meetings with your student.
Below, you will find Questions for Planning to remind you of essential pieces of teacher planning
and preparation. On the second page, you will find required lesson plan components.

Questions to ask yourself as you prepare: (These are just thinking points. You do not need to
provide a response in your planning document.)
1. If it is part of your responsibility, have you scheduled and confirmed your meeting time
with the teacher and/or student’s family?
2. Have you prepared all materials for your lesson/assessment? For example, for the engage
portion of your lesson, you might decide to prepare for a “show-and-tell”. Have you
printed or do you have easy access to all reading material and scoring sheets needed to
administer the assessment? Do you have all of the materials prepared for your
connected game?
3. Have you documented where you found the ideas and/or materials for each element of
your session? You should use your textbook resources unless explicitly told otherwise by
your instructor.
4. Have you practiced your lesson with a friend or in front of a mirror?
5. Are you prepared to record your lesson?
___________________________________________________________________________

Lesson Plan (This lesson should be approximately 30-40 minutes total in length.)
Your lesson will consist of the following 3 steps. Be sure to provide yourself enough details about
the lesson activities and assessment administration so that you know how you think the session
will go. Include scripting where necessary (e.g., assessment instructions, game instructions,
possible words of encouragement, etc.).

Step 1) Engage (5 minutes): Describe how you will make a connection with your student with a
quick engagement exercise. Use your textbook resources to identify an icebreaker activity you
would like to engage in with your student.

Step 2) Assessment Administration (10-15 minutes): Describe the necessary steps for effective
assessment administration. Provide some examples of the language you will use to explicitly
communicate directions, promote continuous engagement, and offer words of encouragement.

Step 3) Connected Game (5-10 minutes): Describe how you will engage your student in a game
that will allow you to continue to collect descriptive data related to the skills you have assessed.
This game should be connected to an assessment you delivered or an area where you need to
gather additional information about your student’s strengths and areas for growth. Use your
course texts as resources!
