Unit Overview
- Description
In this unit, pre-service teachers will learn about the use of assessment data to provide targeted support to students in Mathematics. Pre-service teachers will learn about the use of screening, diagnostic, dynamic, above level and progress monitoring assessment (assessment for learning) to assist them in teaching and providing relevant feedback to help students learn Mathematics. Pre-service teachers will become familiar with a range of Mathematics assessments and programs. Pre-service teachers will examine the research on how to assist children who need additional support in the Mathematics learning area. Pre-service teachers will apply their knowledge to create a sequence of mathematics lessons that engages and challenges each learner.?
