Monitoring student progress throughout a unit is vital. Secondary students are more than capable of monitoring their own knowledge and skill development. A self-monitoring tool provides them with clear expectations for the learning outcomes of each day. By self-monitoring, students reflect on their own learning which increases investment and accountability.

Create a tool students will use to monitor their daily progress in your humanities unit. Use the “Sample Student Self Progress Monitoring Assessment Tool” template to complete this assignment.

Part 1: Self-Progress Monitoring Assessment Tool

Include the following in the “Self-Progress Monitoring Assessment Tool”:

• Questions that are aligned with the learning objectives, and correlate to the knowledge and skills for each day of the unit plan
• Range of mastery for students to evaluate their level of attainment of the objective, knowledge, and skills (similar to the range in a rubric)
• Summative question or writing prompt requiring students to express understanding and/or application of the day’s learning.

Part 2: Reflection

In 150-250 words, reflect on progress monitoring and the tool you created.

Include the following in your reflection:

• Rationale for your design choice. Discuss how the tool will help students monitor their own progress.
• Explanation of how the tool will be implemented and evaluated.
• Discussion of the importance and purpose of students monitoring their own progress.
• Explanation of how you would use progress monitoring to inform instruction in your future professional practice.

Add your reflection to the bottom of the “Self-Progress Monitoring Assessment Tool.”

APA format is not required, but solid academic writing is expected.
