How do you assess and track student progress?

Answer 1

Please view the following video. Although it allows only up to 5 minutes of recording, it cut off when I was stating that Classkick also allows me to quickly access a link to send to the parent so they can actually view the student's work and any feedback, annotations, comments, etc. I have made. https://www.loom.com/share/4ebd268711e14d5baa878729e6582e8e?sid=a4e233d2-871d-480e-988f-a092140ebe8e

📊 How do you assess and track student progress?

I use a combination of formal and informal assessments to monitor each student’s progress and guide instruction. From the very first session, I begin with baseline assessments to identify strengths, learning gaps, and instructional needs. These assessments help me create a customized learning plan that is targeted and data-driven.

To track progress, I use:

1. ✅ Initial diagnostics to pinpoint skill levels in reading, writing, and math
2. 📝 Ongoing formative assessments, such as observation, student work, running records, and oral responses
3. 📈 Progress monitoring tools to regularly evaluate growth in specific skill areas
4. 📚 Check-ins during sessions to review understanding and adjust instruction as needed
5. 🔁 Frequent review and spiral practice to strengthen retention and mastery
6. 🗂️ Individualized student folders or notes to document achievements and next steps

I also use the “I do, we do, you do” gradual release model, which helps me evaluate how confidently a student can apply a new concept independently.

Communication is key—I keep parents informed and involved by sharing progress updates and celebrating milestones. My goal is to ensure every student feels supported, challenged, and proud of their growth.

If you're looking for personalized, effective tutoring for your child—or for yourself—I’d love to help!

First, I set clear learning goals and provide regular actionable feedback. I also use a combination of formative and summative assessments, as well as ongoing observations. My formative assessments may be in the form of brief quizzes and exit tickets using Quizlet, Kahoot or Google Forms. Student reflections on the covered material is another method of my formative assessments. The summative assessments may be in the form of tests or projects to evaluate overall learning.
