Importance of Monitoring and Evaluating Learner Progress

The monitoring of student progress is a practice that aids teaching continuously

assess the effectiveness of their teaching and make good informed decision. To
determine the student’s performance level, the teachers must measure their progress
regularly (weekly, bi-weekly, monthly, or as needed).

Teachers must monitor the progress of the learners for the following reasons:
● to improve instruction

● to help teachers make better instructional decisions and change their

teaching styles
● to ensure success and achievement for every learner

● to identify and help students at risks

● to provide enrichment to gifted learners

Use of Constructive Feedback in Classrooms

Constructive feedback is a tool used to praise a performance effort or outcome. It

is favorable judgment and supportive communication.
TIPS on Giving Constructive Feedback

1. Use positive feedback.

2. Focus on the efforts/situations.
3. Use the active voice.
4. Be specific with one’s feedback.
5. Use key points in giving feedback.
6. Emphasize objective points.
7. Give specific examples and situations.
8. Connect on things/situations that can be acted upon.
9. Give suggestions/recommendations on how to improve.
10. Refrain from making assumptions.

Some Strategies for Communicating Learner Needs, Progress, and Achievement

● Conduct Parent-Teachers dialogue regularly.

● Give parents a way to keep track of learners’ progress through a communication

diary or online.
 ● Display learners’ portfolios in school.

● Develop open lines of communication, especially for learners with special needs
and for students at risk.
● Explore the possibility of having a bulletin board of information

Sources of Assessment Data as Feedback in the Teaching-Learning Process

Teachers may collect student data from the following sources to improve
classroom instruction:

✔ Formative assessment e.e=g, quizzes, setworks, exit slips worksheets.

✔ Daily Observations

✔ Summative Assessment e.g. projects, essays, quarterly exams

✔ Cumulative Files

✔ Standardized Test Scores

✔ Students’ Records in Guidance, Health Services, and the like

✔ Home visitations

✔ Writing anecdotal records

✔ Conducting formal and informal interviews

✔ Checking students’ works, projects, and portfolio

My Performance Tasks

Performance Task 1 Get one sample for each of the following: diagnostic, formative,
and summative tests. Describe if the test is made by you during
your internship, by your cooperating teacher, or taken from a
source (acknowledge the source).
 This is an example of a summative test I prepared for my grade 10 students in
Rawis National High School. My cooperating teacher required me to prepare a
summative test for the students covering the topics that I discussed. This is a
simple way of monitoring and evaluating the learnings of my students

Performance Task 2 Answer the following questions based on your experiences as a

student teacher and on your observation of your cooperating
teacher.

1. Why is there a need to monitor and evaluate learners’ progress?

 Learning progress monitoring and evaluation is essential given that it
allows for the tracking of both the students and the teacher's progress
toward effective teaching and learning. It gives feedback on the efficacy of
 the teaching strategies to both teachers and students. I can conveniently
monitor the students' grasp and struggles as I serve as a practice teacher.
I can use this to refine my method or way of teaching for the following
sessions.

2. What strategies are used by your cooperating teacher to communicate learner

needs, progress, and achievement?

3. What assessment data are used by your cooperating teacher to improve student
performance?
