Teachers are responsible for using a variety of progress-monitoring strategies to evaluate and support
student achievement. These strategies include formative, summative, and common assessments. In this task,
you will plan a progress-monitoring strategy by creating an assessment plan (AP) that actively engages
students in their own learning. The assessment plan will include two formative assessments and one
summative assessment as well as any related assessment or evaluation tools. The assessment plan will also
include a description of how you, the teacher, will use the assessments to provide meaningful feedback to
students and differentiate instruction.
REQUIREMENTS
Your submission must be your original work. No more than a combined total of 30% of the submission and no
more than a 10% match to any one individual source can be directly quoted or closely paraphrased from
sources, even if cited correctly. The originality report that is provided when you submit your task can be used
as a guide.
You must use the rubric to direct the creation of your submission because it provides detailed criteria that
will be used to evaluate your work. Each requirement below may be evaluated by more than one rubric
aspect. The rubric aspect titles may contain hyperlinks to relevant portions of the course.
Tasks may not be submitted as cloud links, such as links to Google Docs, Google Slides, OneDrive, etc., unless
specified in the task requirements. All other submissions must be file types that are uploaded and submitted
as attachments (e.g., .docx, .pdf, .ppt).
A. Provide a direct instruction lesson plan that you developed using the attached “Direct Instruction Lesson
Plan Template” and that describes two formative assessments and one summative assessment.
Note: You are encouraged to provide the direct instruction lesson plan that you developed in Task 2 from
the Introduction to Curriculum, Instruction, and Assessment course that you completed prior to this
course. However, depending on the number of assessments you originally outlined in that lesson plan, it may be necessary to develop additional assessment(s) in order to fulfill the requirements of this task.
B. Using the attached “WGU Assessment Plan Template,” create an assessment plan for your direct
instruction lesson plan that further describes the two formative assessments and one summative
assessment.
C. Provide the two formative assessments (e.g., handouts, written or verbal prompts, visual or digital
materials) and one summative assessment you described in your assessment plan from part B.
D. Provide one evaluation tool (e.g., rubrics, checklists, answer keys) for the one summative assessment from
part C.
