Data gathered from assessments will be used to provide insight into what students are learning, how they learn best, what strategies I use as an educator are effective or ineffective, as well as a way to garner additional support from administrators and departments to either provide additional resources or as evidence of how a particular strategy or lesson is succeeding with students.

(Lenski et al 32)

The best way that students can demonstrate their learning in the ELA classroom is through product/performance assessments in which students have the opportunity to apply and display their understanding of ELA skills and content. Examples of these types of assessments include essays, presentations, performances, and projects in which students are able to apply skills to a product that displays their knowledge and their abilities. The ability to navigate ELA content and structure and format arguments through the use of skills is essential to ELA learning and performance based assessments enable students to display their navigation and thought processes in an authentic manner.

Informal assessments and assessments that are not graded are crucial elements of any classroom as they allow students to perform authentically and honestly without high-stakes pressures of grades of the possibility of excessive criticisms. Using assessments solely as a means to give grades is not productive and can do more harm to students and their mental health than anything else. 

Meaningful feedback is feedback that encourages students to reflect on their work and helps them to understand how their work makes meaning in their lives and in the world around them.

In ELA classrooms, feedback must go beyond a percentage or number grade. Instead, feedback must be a dialogue between students and their teacher that allows students to understand their own work, the expectations of assignments, and the additional supports they need from their teacher and their peers.

The writing process is an ideal way for educators to provide their students with constructive feedback. Feedback throughout the writing process can be encouraged through revision and rewrite processes for major assessments with the idea to encourage students to continue the writing process and to not just “be done once it’s submitted.” This type of feedback encourages students to recognize “that the processes of learning and doing are as important as the quality of the final product” (NCTE 2013). This feedback is not only restricted to feedback from the teacher but it can also come from the students themselves or from their peers.

What is a Myomectomy for fibroids

A myomectomy is a surgery to remove the fibroid tumors from the uterus. It allows the uterus to be untouched and makes pregnancy more likely than before.
