Learning Goal
Students will be able to proactively identify and appropriately apply decision making skills to
enhance health as demonstrated by verbal and written responses on a best and worst decision-
making sheet.
Measurable Objectives
Students will be able to think proactively about identifying decision-making skills to
enhance health making appropriate decisions using scenarios and a decision-making
guided worksheet.
The assessment will be conducted on Friday March 22nd, 2019. The students will be scored
based on following directions, using 2 – 3 sentences and if the content is relevant to the prompt.
The rubric will be based on organization, voice, conventions, and fluency.
In the chart below, the data will be split into the class per my evaluation and the rest of the
classes, which range from 6th – 8th graders. All classes will receive the lesson but only the 6th
grade class will be evaluated and as such, the Common Core standard was set for that grade
level.
Pre-Assessment Data: Whole Class - Once you have assessed your students’ knowledge on the topic,
collect and analyze the pre-assessment data to determine if you will need to modify the standards,
learning goal, or measurable objectives that will be addressed during instruction.

Approaches 3/8
There will be no changes to the state content standards, the learning goal, or measurable objectives. The
content of the replies showcased that the majority of the students are understanding the content and
developing sound opinions, but they are struggling following directions and with writing skills.
Post-Assessment – Copy and paste the post-assessment you plan to use to assess the students’ knowledge
of the topic after implementing the unit lessons. The post-assessment can be the same as the pre-
assessment, a modified version, or something comparable that measures the same concepts. Include the
scoring criteria used to determine whether the student Exceeds, Meets, Approaches, or Falls Far Below the
learning goal and measurable objectives.
Exit Ticket: The post-assessment will require students to record two Flipgrid videos on the best
decision and the worst decision they ever made. Students will be required to explain why it was
the best and worst decision. Students will be assessed based on the content of their response, their
demonstration of knowledge of the subject (i.e., using information from the lesson as part of their
explanation), and if they stay on topic during the video.

Post-Test Data: Whole Class - Once you have assessed your students’ learning on the topic, collect and
analyze the post-test data to determine the effectiveness of your instruction and assessment.

The results of the pre-test were updated to suit the new unit of lessons that were implemented to
prepare students for the upcoming Smarter Balanced Assessment Consortium (SBAC). The
original lesson, a unit of drug prevention, has been delayed until after students take the state
exam.
Based on the post-test data, there was a substantial increase in student learning. The number of
students who were graded as proficient and highly proficient increased by 52%. The data can be
interpreted as an improvement in student learning based on the post-test scores. During the
lesson’s and reviews of SBAC vocabulary terms and foundational skills, students were able to
self-correct and define the words quickly and accurately. The post-exam showed improvement in
the use of complete sentences and correct definitions. Students were able to apply the terms and
definitions concerning the necessary foundational skills. The students who did not do as well and
were labeled as partially or minimally were able to provide verbal confirmation of understanding
the definitions but neglected to use complete sentences and were unable to connect the definitions
to the necessary academic foundational skills.
The instruction was useful as there was a fifty percent increase in students completing the post-
assessment and proving to understand the material and practically apply it when instructed. The
number of students who performed below standards dropped significantly. The ones who, based
on the post-assessment, still underperformed demonstrated an understanding of the information
during verbal instruction information (able to define the terms when asked) but struggled to apply
the knowledge to paper and during a practical foundational assessment. The students were unable
to perform the foundational skills (for example, inferences, annotations) as based on vocabulary
The subgroup that was selected to analyze was the female students as based on the information
that was presented within Standard 1. Although the number of female students is small, 11 of the
42 students, the assessment data seemed significant. The choices for the group were somewhat
limited as all of the students are on IEPs and none of the students have 504s, the majority of the
student population (within my classes) are male and are classified as English Language Learners
(ELL) as such the female population seemed to be an interesting choice to analyze and discuss.
Meets 1 6
Approaches 5 3
Based on the initial pre-test the female subgroup tested very low as the majority of the female
students were classified as approaches or falls far below. Only one female student was classified
as meeting the standards during the post-test. Based on the results of post-test data, there was a
substantial improvement in learning. The students displayed, based on verbal assessments and the
post-assessment, an understanding of the material. As such, the students were able to define the
terms and the explain the practical application regarding the foundational skills on which students
were being instructed, such as describing examples of implicit and explicit details when reading
assigned text or finding the main idea.
Instruction, as based on the subgroup (female students) post-test data proved that teaching was
sufficient, and students were able to comprehend the material. The data showed a 60% increase in
students who met and exceeded the standards with zero of the students in the subgroup falling
below the norm. As for the students who approached the standard, a daily review of the
Meets 9 9
Approaches 10 7
Compared to the subgroup that was analyzed, there was still a significant increase in students who
met or exceeded the standard, but a concerning number of students were still classified as
approaches or falls far below the standard as based on the post-test data. The instruction can still
be considered effective as there was improvement when comparing the pre-test data with the
post-test data. The number of students whose understanding of the vocabulary words and
improvement in foundational skills was remarkable. During verbal assessments and when asked
questions, students appeared to have a firm grasp on the material and understand the definitions
of the vocabulary terms. Students were excited to share their information with other students who
were struggling and were able to explain the definitions or the process succinctly and accurately.
The confusion arose when practically applying the information. For example, students understood
the meaning of the word “main idea” but may have struggled to identify the main idea of a
passage.
Based on the analysis of student learning and the results of the assessment data, students have a
firm grasp on the definitions of the assigned vocabulary words. The area in which the students are
struggling is understanding foundational skills. While they appear to know what they need to be
doing or looking for within a given passage, they are unable to find the correct answer (such as
the main idea, theme, or making an inference) using details and information from the passage. As
such, students will continue to review the definitions as repetition has been a critical component
