explain how you know which students did and did not master your objectives. Use formative
assessment data to support your claims regarding the portion of students who did and did not
master the learning objective(s).

2. Based on the result of your assessment, what will you do tomorrow? Can you go ahead as
planned or will you need to reteach concepts from today’s lesson? (Explain how you will reteach
and/or connect and feed forward.)

If you have to teach this lesson again, what might you do the same and what might you do
