Planning backwards... having the assessment created for you allows you to look to where you need to be and then make sure you're taking the right steps to get there.

Students performed well on the end of unit 1 assessment. They were well prepared by the materials leading up to it and felt proud of their work.

At times it feels like there's a lot going on in the assessments and kids seem lost on some parts.

Getting used to the units... A first run through is always rough, but we now feel like we're getting used to the way the materials and lessons flow. That being said, we now know the areas we need to tighten up in order to better focus on the assessment; however, the assessment isn't the "end all". The assessment simply shows us where students are.

Our mid-unit 1 assessment was less successful, largely because we did not begin our planning for the year by working backward from it. I misjudged the importance of some skills that were largely hit in entrance tickets and didn't teach them as fully as I should have.

Not including all of the material in the assessments in the lessons...at least not explicitly. It may hit on it, but only briefly...very briefly. This ends up leaving students rather unprepared.

I think they enjoy the book; however, since we're reading it in class, it's been slow. The kids are ready to move on—not because they don't like the book but because we've been reading it for so long.

Yes, students want engaging activities involving movement, deep thinking, and the opportunity to connect. That is their favorite. Balancing that with preparing them for the test-type assessments has been a challenge.
