Communicating Assessment Practices to Parents

Select a grade level  (3rd) and using the “Class Profile” provided to you, create a 7-10-slide PowerPoint or Prezi presentation that you will share with parents of your students at an upcoming open house. Your presentation should include the following components:

1. Your philosophy on assessment
2. A range of types of assignments the students will receive
3. Your evaluation and assessment practices
4. Your practices related to diversity, including all accommodations
5. An explanation of what your assessment practices look like in your classroom, both formative and summative
6. Details of your grading system and reporting practices while addressing any ethical and/or legal issues related to students’ rights and teacher responsibilities
7. Illustrative items and tasks from the state-based assessment administered in your state

Be sure to use scholarly writing and include in-text citations where needed as well as a reference slide.
