Description
Differentiation is a key element that helps you address the individual needs of your students and empowers them to thrive academically. One of the best ways to support differentiation in your classroom is by using pre-assessment. In this course presented by educator Dr. Colleen Boyle, teachers will explore different types of pre-assessment data and learn to make decisions based on that data to plan differentiation in their classrooms. After taking this course, you will gain a deep understanding of the purpose and features of pre-assessment and how to incorporate it into your instruction.
In this 1-hour course, you will learn about:
- Formal pre-assessments
- Informal pre-assessments
- Using data for differentiation
- Using data for grouping

It was difficult to see the resources when I pressed on the button to access the information it did not open the document and I had not realized that in small print on the right hand corner it has the resources needed to answer the questions. Some of the documents were difficult to read because the information was vertical and not easy to read.

Differentiation is very important. When we identify our students needs is crucial to use learning skills according them. I learned in this course different types of these skills to dupport my students’ learning

It helps teachers identify with the importance of pre testing. If we know what the students need help with or already know we will teach what the child needs to learn.

It reminds me of the importance of pre-test data.

interviewers ask questions to learn more about you and to find out things other than what may be on your application or resume. Interviewers may ask about your course selection to learn more about your personality, interests and goals. This question may help them gauge your interest in or passion for a particular subject or field.
Trisha – WESTERN BROWN LOCAL (verified owner) –
This was good but a lot of information I have already known
Becky – CENTERBURG LOCAL (verified owner) –
There were a lot of questions that required to us to look at very unfamiliar data. It would be helpful to look at something like a state test data set that we are more familiar with in order to really learn how to use data to plan for differentiated instruction.
Karen – CENTERBURG LOCAL (verified owner) –
I liked it. It gave some concrete ways to both do and use pre-assessments.
Krista – FAYETTEVILLE-PERRY LOCAL (verified owner) –
Finally, this is a course that discusses practical ways to USE the data gathered for individual instruction. For those who already know how to gather the information or know that differentiation is a best practice for the student, this course allows for practice to review data and then determine how to use it for individual, gifted learners.

good ideas on helping teacher know what level of knowledge students have- now we can better plan our instruction to 1. not waste time on mastered material and devote more in depth instruction for the weak areas.
