INSTRUCTION AND 
​ASSESSMENT

My purpose as a teacher is to challenge students, empower them to discover their own potential, and support the pursuit of their passions. In order to fulfill this purpose, I need to provide engaging instruction supported by effective assessment. Not only does effective assessment inform me of the students' understanding, but it also provides feedback for my own instruction.
​​Effective Assessment
  • Standards based lessons and assessment
  • Frequent use of formative assessments (examples)
    • Discussions
    • Ticket out the door
    • Check-ins
    • ​Sketchbook
  • Consistent, rubric-based, summative assessments (examples)
    • Final piece
    • Artist statement/narrative
    • Portfolio 
    • Gallery walk
  • Student directed self-assessment​​

​​By assessing and reflecting on our own work, we learn to communicate with one another, think creatively, and problem solve. These are the types of skills I seek to impart on my students through authentic art experiences and assessments.
