Monitoring student progress throughout a unit is vital, particularly in a cross-disciplinary STEM setting where so many skills are integrated. Secondary students are more than capable of monitoring their own knowledge and skill development. A self-monitoring tool provides them with clear expectations for the learning outcomes of each day. By self-monitoring, students reflect on their own learning which increases investment and accountability.
Create a tool students will use to monitor their daily progress in your humanities unit. Use the “Sample Student Self Progress Monitoring Assessment Tool” (ATTACHED) template to successfully complete this assignment.
Part 1: Self-Progress Monitoring Assessment Tool
Include the following in the “Self-Progress Monitoring Assessment Tool”:
• Questions that are aligned with the learning objectives, and correlate to the knowledge and skills for each day of the unit plan
• Range of mastery for students to evaluate their level of attainment of the objective, knowledge, and skills (similar to the range in a rubric)
• Summative question or writing prompt requiring students to express understanding and/or application of the day’s learning.
Part 2: Reflection
In 150-250 words, reflect on progress monitoring and the tool you created.
Include the following in your reflection:
• Rationale for your design choice. Discuss how the tool will help students monitor their own progress.
• Explanation of how the tool will be implemented and evaluated.
• Discussion of the importance and purpose of students monitoring their own progress.
• Explanation of how you would use progress monitoring to inform instruction in your future professional practice.
Add your reflection to the bottom of the “Self-Progress Monitoring Assessment Tool.”
APA format is not required, but solid academic writing is expected.
