Demonstrating one method of formative assessment that I used in my PSI practicum this fall.
This assessment was done in regard to both a printing and phonics chek-in.
This artifact showcases student learning and growth through continual practice in using this
method. It gives students opportunities to practice different skills while still being connected to
the same topic of study. I chose this artifact because I wanted to show the growth that my
students showed from week to week, as well as some areas to work on for both myself in
teaching these lessons, and my students in their practicing and understanding, which are both
present here.
I learned more about formative assessment and what to be looking for when I teach the lessons
that accompany these assessments. I learned more about what I can do better in my teaching to
promote student growth and understanding. I learned that just because I taught my students
something once, does not mean that they automatically understand it perfectly. This is
demonstrated in the artifact via the spelling of “friend” being wrong in two students writing for
The way(s) in which I grew or changed as a teacher as a result of the artifact is/are:
I became more aware of what I can do to help my students work on their phonics sounds and
accompanying words. I grew as a teacher because I recognized that in some of these instances, I
was not reviewing the concepts enough with my students. I grew as a teacher because even
though both students had misspelled “friend” both weeks, they learned the correct way to spell
“fridge” and the “-dge” phonics focus was only present in one of these weeks pictured. Even
though my students struggled with another concept we learned, they were still understanding
