formative Assessment
I will be conducting an assessment to gather information from children between the ages of four and six. The assessment is a continuous process used by both teachers and students during learning to obtain and use evidence of student learning. This helps to improve the student's understanding of the intended learning outcomes and supports them in becoming self-directed learners. Alphabet Recognition - Uppercase Letters
Teacher Directions: Point to each letter and ask, "What letter is this?" Mark an X on incorrect letters and record the correct number in the column.
Teaching Recording
Teachers can mark correct responses with a check and incorrect responses with an X when recording ABC skills. When recording ABC skills, teachers can use a check mark for correct responses and an X for incorrect ones.

Discuss the method in which you will evaluate students as they (Where will they be? How will the data be collected? etc.) and how you will keep ongoing records.
As an educator, I have various techniques to evaluate my students' progress. To measure their understanding of uppercase letters, I would design a recording sheet and craft engaging alphabet-based activities. This formative assessment would occur twice a week until each child has confidently recognized all uppercase letters. My recording sheet is tailored to showcase a clear overview of their skills, highlighting areas of mastery and those that require further attention. During the evaluation, I would sit with the group, carefully observing and noting their progress. I will use a recording sheet to gather information that can help me better support my students. The sheet will only contain information about whether a student can recognize uppercase letters. To do this, I will provide students with laminate cards featuring uppercase letters and ask them to identify the letter on each card. If the student can correctly identify the letter, I will make a checkmark, and if they cannot recognize the letter, I will mark an X. These are some of the methods I will use to assess my students.
8.
Discuss how you will communicate outcomes with students and families.
As educators, we have several ways to keep in touch with students and their families. Communication is crucial for teachers and parents as it helps express feelings and concerns about
the student's learning, behavior, progress, events, lesson plans, meetings, and any changes happening in the education system in our classroom or school. As a teacher, it is essential to have
a clear communication strategy with the students, parents, and families. One effective strategy is to identify and use the preferred method of communication of each family. This will help to ensure smooth and transparent communication between all parties involved. According to the

New York Times, “we can put our heads together- parents and teachers-to figure out how to help that child obtain that skill.” (A’s for Good Behavior, 2010).
I often use a reminder app to communicate with my students, parents, and families. Additionally, I also use other communication methods such as sending emails, making phone calls, conducting zoom meetings, and having one-on-one meetings with parents. Establishing positive communication is crucial as it helps students, parents, and families feel safe and comfortable enough to approach me with any questions or information they wish to share with me. The Reminder app is a useful platform for communication and learning, designed to reach out to both students and families wherever they are. It allows teachers to stay in touch with their students and families, anytime and anywhere, and help them succeed. Teachers can make use of the app to quickly review a child's progress, behavior, concerns, and struggles via emails or phone calls. Additionally, for parents who don’t have the time to meet in person, the app provides
optional meetings with teachers via phone calls, emails, or video calls using Zoom, Dual, or Skype.
