I have learned the importance of making your lesson plans meaningful and valuable for all students by connecting to real-world scenarios. 

Apply choices in assessments

Students can take safe risks and learn from those mistakes.

As a CTE teacher, I always try to create safe routines and procedures in my classroom. 

I learned getting to know your students and ask them to share there experiences on a subject or question

invite engagement in the classroom learning experiences.

applying choice in assessments- students will become more engaged in there learning experiences.

Example- In Auto class I will allow students to decide what part of the brake systems course they want to show there learning on, caliper system, drum system.. they will also have there choice of delivery, Video ,live, written.

all set on a rubric of goals and norms. 

students can take safe risks and learn from there mistakes.  This will bring I cant - to -I can

Bell work, exit tickets, Practice Labs in shop. 

all examples of assessments- Formative

I learned that assessments should support learning by aligning to clear goals, removing barriers, offering choice, and using formative feedback. I’ll apply this by designing flexible, low-stakes, goal-aligned assessments that help all students engage, self-regulate, and demonstrate real-world skills.

Good assessments clearly align to the learning goal, remove unnecessary barriers, and include formative check-ins and feedback. I’ll apply this by designing clear, chunked, low-stakes assessments that measure learning, not stress or compliance while still keeping them relevant to real-world CTE skills.
