6. Report on Pre and Post Instructional Student Performance:

Special Note: Many teachers, students and interns have completed CTC reports for our pilot studies. Their work has provided the core of the samples below. We have, however, modified some of the selections to maintain confidentiality and to ensure that the samples reflect the revisions we have made in the instructions. Some were completed by experienced teachers, some by interns and others by students early in their programs. Thanks to everyone who helped us with the original samples. Your input helped us make this a better process for all.

(from Middle school Math)
I gave students their pre-assessment and post-assessment scores at the same time and asked them to compare their own results. We reviewed the correct answers to the post-assessment and I asked them to pinpoint their mistakes for each problem missed. I then had them write a journal entry to reflect on their own growth for this topic in math. If student scores reflected low mastery (under 80%), I wrote a note in their agenda book to reflect this. Parents are asked to check the agenda book regularly by school policy. I was glad to see that almost all the students had increased their score on the post--assessment, but I had hoped that more students would have obtained mastery of this objective. This is only the first opportunity for them to obtain mastery for this skill; with more practice and review of these concepts and understanding their mistakes, my belief is that more students will master this concept on the chapter test. (A portion of the class results are listed below. The teacher completed a roster for the entire class, this is a selection so you can see how it was set up.)

Sample 2(PreK)

Categorization: Initially I evaluated small groups of students. During the presentation of the lesson my four students were able to successfully categorize between clothes and transportation vehicles. Of the four students, three were able to successfully categorize the items correctly. One student was unable to categorize due to his short attention span and only with many prompts was able to categorize correctly. The three others were able to categorize each time.

My final lesson I evaluated three students at a time. The first group did very well without prompting by myself. They mastered the information. The next group two students needed a great deal of prompting and two students completed all categories. I believe these students need further repetition of the concepts and more links about how to use them.
