= Pre-assessment for Instructional Planning 101 =

Session date: 1/13/10 Presenters: Ron Swantner and Sue Allen Objectives/Ideas: Student Profiles and Pre-Assessment Strategies Description:

The purpose is to gather information to use for instructional planning that will match students’ zone of proximal development (ZPD) as well as capitalizing on students’ interests and learning styles.

Application/Implementation: I will look for ways to incorporate this into the lessons I co-teach. When technology is available, such as Google forms and clickers, I will collect data from my audience (both students and adult) prior to beginning a lesson or topic. This will allow me to taylor my instruction or create learning groups based on their knowledge of the topic or interests.
