I printed a pre-test for the students to complete prior to them learning about the content. The pre-assessment covered all the indicators in the unit. I created the pre-assessment personally to figure out what my students know. The students knew they were not going to receive a grade for this assessment. The chart above is the class average score on the pre-assessment. None of the classes score 50% or better. According to the assessment, a majority of the students had an idea of perimeter and area. I used this assessment as a guide to teach them more effectively.

Overall, I am very impressed with my students. All classes scored an average of 80% or better! My studies at Claflin University have trained me to be an effective teacher. I will use these scores to set higher expectations for myself so my students can all achieve higher scores. These results have been recorded on the PowerTeacher Gradebook and my own personal gradebook. Every week, I present the scores on a spread sheet which shows the scores for every student and the average classs score. These scores are sent to the principal once a week. She likes to know how we are assessing the students weekly and how we are improving them.
