Due to being in a in a
virtual environment, my
curriculum is already pre
generated including
different forms of
assessments such as
quizzes and tests. I will
often review these
assessments to assure
they are asking the
appropriate questions
and to assure that they
are asking for student
understanding based on
the standards. Oftentimes
I will omit these
assessments and find my
own relevant
assessments where I
create my own questions
to appropriately assess
student understanding.
These assessments are
often created on
