Step 5: Follow-up on Assessment

Guiding Questions

What conclusions can be made from assessment information?
How effective have instructional approaches been?
What are the next steps in instruction?

A. Addressing Gaps in Learning

Suggestions are given in the previous section on one-on-one assessment.

B. Reinforcing and Extending Learning

Students who have achieved or exceeded the outcomes will benefit from ongoing opportunities to apply and extend their learning. These activities should support students in developing a deeper understanding of the concept and should not progress to the outcomes in subsequent grades. Many of these ideas have been described in the activities throughout the section on learning activities. Some of the activities were open-ended, like making a booklet of increasing patterns that the students could keep and add to over a long period of time.
