When working as a special educator it is essential that the frequent monitoring of student progress be maintained. As you have learned in previous courses, being able to explain a student’s level of progress, areas of strength, and/orweaknessarekeytosuccessfulIndividualized EducationProgram(IEP)teammeetingsaswellas designing lesson plans, as you will discover in this activity.
Monitoring student progress does not always refer to an end of the unit test. More often, educators are accessing this information after lessons and activities to assess student learning, application, and retention of the content. This information also guides future learning. The authors of our required text, Cohen and Spenciner (2009) state, “good teaching always begins with an understanding of what the student already knows and can do,” (p. 125). Conducting frequent assessment helps teachers to adjust instruction in order to target the learning objectives and long-range (IEP) goals.
