FIAE Chapter 3

A teacher should base their instruction on the students in the classroom. I think it is a really good idea to give a pre-assessment before each unit because it will let a teacher know what all of the students understand. Formative assessments seem like they would be good as well. Honestly, I liked getting "pop quizzes" in classes that were not graded; the teacher just wanted to know where our understanding was with the material. Telling the students what you would like them to learn before beginning a unit is a good idea because then both the teacher and the students are on the same page. Also, a student is more likely to know whether they are struggling if they understand WHAT they are supposed to get out on the unit.
