Welcome back to the Teaching with Valor Podcast. I’m your host, Don Fessenden, and today we’re tackling a topic that sits at the heart of effective teaching—Assessment and Data-Driven Instruction. Whether you're teaching kindergarteners just learning their letters, middle schoolers navigating algebra, or high school students preparing for college, understanding how to use assessments and data can transform your classroom practice.
But what exactly does data-driven instruction look like in elementary, middle, and high schools? And how can teachers use assessments not just as a way to measure learning, but as a powerful tool to enhance it? We’ll break it all down in today’s episode. We’ll also wrap up with a special bonus segment answering a parent’s question about assessments and what they mean for their child’s education.
