- I would utilize this assessment because individual whiteboards provides feedback (also immediate) about whether the student understand the content and is ready to move on to the next level of content.
- I would utilize individual whiteboards by presenting content related questions (for any subject) and have the students write it on the board to show to me. Thus, providing me feedback as to whether I can move on to the next unit, or not. I would record this data by anecdotal notes about who successfully answer the questions and who struggled to answer the question and why.

- I would utilize exit slips by first posing a question (the essential question) to the students and have them write down in their own words their understanding of the material. Then I would have the students pile their response in a pile on a desk in the back of the room. Later, I will go through each response and place the students into small groups that would best help them succeed in understanding the material.

- I would utilize "Kahoot!" by creating pre-planned questions about the content we have been going over the past two week and implement them into "Kahoot!" Then I would ask all my students to grab out their cells phones (download the app, if needed) and get ready to compete for academic success because "we are having a trivia day!!" After we are finished with all the question, I will look over the data and plan accordingly to the students academic needs regarding the content.

- I would utilize this assessment because "Appointment Buddies" is great way for students to find partners that they feel they are most comfortable around and provide the teacher the ability to perceive the students misconceptions or misunderstandings about the material, when the students are with their buddies and in peer discuss time.
- I would utilize "Appointment Clocks" by having the students stand up and walk to someone that shares the same birth month as them, then have them write down that persons name in the first slot. Then I would have the students move on to someone they do not know well in the classroom and write their names in the next slot. Finally, I would let the students pick their best friend and have them write their names in the last slot. After they have their partners, I will take up their papers and copy all of them (for myself), then give them back to them and tell them to place them somewhere for safe keeping. Moreover, I would use this assessment tool whenever I want to students participate in think-pair-share.

Moreover, it provides immediate feedback on students procedural understanding and shows teachers who struggles more with the material, if they are slower to reach the green cup than another person.
- I would utilize "Colored Cups" by giving each student their own set of red, green, and yellow cards and using these card only when students are doing silent work or independent work. In order to, gage the students understanding of their work and provide a way for students to discretely signal if they do not understand the material presented to them. I know that raising your hand sometimes is intimidating because it is a rather big signal telling others you are struggling and do not fully understand the topic, so I figure this is a less discrete way to communicate confusion with the teacher.

Most of the time, you are getting to know your students at the beginning of the year, so updating your information about the student throughout the year. I would implement this questionnaire by asking the students to take the questionnaire home and having their parents help them fill out the information on the hand out. Once, they bring it back I will start differentiating my instruction in ways that better cater to the students needs
