Analyzing assessment

One manner that allows analysis to align with learning goals is by allowing student the opportunity of working with manipulative (cookie and visuals) to allow students to learn through the discovery method.
 This lesson is design for students to work as a class, and learn as a class. Students will be asked to point to a certain sense, that will allow the instructor to view how students are understanding and progressing during the lesson. Students will also have the opportunity to whisper to the person sitting to left and right of them, during each senses. For example, fir the sense of hearing, students will turn to the person sitting to their left and say, "can you hear me?" This will be done for each senses, however, students will have to whisper a different topic that is appropriate for each sense. The instructor will have these opportunity to analysis how students are comprehending the lesson.

The interpretation of the data collected by the instructor will provide an insight of how well the students comprehended the lesson, and if the instructor may need more instructional time with a student. The data collected will be used to view how well students received the lesson,  and if they met the goal and requirements that were assigned for the lesson. The analysis does includes evidence of impact on students learning in terms of the number of students who achieve and made progress towards each learning goal.  The evidence gathered will inform the educator if students met the goal or if there needs to be more direct instruction. The evidence gathered will not only inform the instructor on how well students comprehended the lesson, but also, if there needs to be a change in the manner the lesson was presented to help improve the quality of instruction. The data collect will be used to analyze how students are performing, and at what level of comprehension students have reached with this lesson.
