Overall Instructor Rating: Exemplary
Ratings explanation:
- Exemplary - A model answer in almost every way (this is given out very rarely).
- Satisfactory - Very well done; you've met the expectations of the assignment. There are some minor problems, so read my feedback well.
- Marginal Pass - You pass, but there are lots of issues to consider. Read my feedback very carefully and be sure you understand the points/issues I raise.
- Not satisfactory, redo and resubmit - The assignment was not completed appropriately. I am concerned that you do not understand the process well enough yet. To get credit for the assignment, you need to redo it, most probably on another topic. Read and consider my feedback very carefully before redoing.
Instructor's Overall Feedback:
Hi Audrea:
Your evaluation plan should be effective in gathering formative evaluation data from each of the groups you described. One thing your plan is thin on is any description of the types of data you plan to gather with each group. For example, are the broad categories of questions you would ask about the instruction in each of the 4 phases to help inform you about what needs to be addressed or revised? A few examples may be the sequencing of objectives/content, pacing (too fast, too slow), did the learners feel there was enough practice or that it contributed to their learning the objectives, did the assessments show learner acheivement of the objectives, etc.
You do not need to resubmit this IDA but if you do I will review it and provide feedback and adjust your score accordingly.

The objective of this activity is to plan for the formative evaluation of your instruction. As stated by Dick, Carey, and Carey (2001): "Formative evaluation is the process designers use to obtain data that can be used to revise their instruction to make it more efficient and effective. The emphasis in formative evlauation is on the collection and analysis of data and the revision of the instruction" (p. 284-285).
Using the lesson you have described in the IDA on lesson design, complete the Formative Evaluation Planning Worksheet. Using the table below, describe:
- Who will do the ongoing evaluation;
- What is being evaluated;
- When the evaluation should occur; and
- How the evaluation will be conducted (i.e. tools you will use)
Be sure to refer to Dick, Carey, and Carey Chapter 10 for specific information that can be gathered from experts (e.g. subject-matter, learning, and learner) and learners in different formative evaluation situations (e.g. one-to-one, small-group, and field trials).

Your final response:
Given the algorithm for solving equations, SWBAT identify and solve rational equations by using algebra or graphing.

HTML formatting reminder: You can embed HTML tags directly in your responses. This will be help your buddies and the instructor view your information in a more readable fashion. For example, if you want a paragraph break somewhere, just enter <p>:
I will have the experts review the lesson on three levels:
<p>
1. content; 2. technical accuracy; 3. quality of instruction.
<p>
The content review will help ensure that no mistakes were made in the information provided to the learners.

Your final response:
Two math teachers and the mathematics department chair will review lesson for accuracy in the materials presented, whether multi-level activities are addressed, whether the lesson is appropriate for the targeted learner and whether the information meets Georgia Standards and the materials are aligned with the pre-determined assessments.

Your final response:
The evaluation of the lesson should occur two weeks prior to the implementation of the lesson. This will provide time to modify the instruction and have the experts to reevaluate the changes.

Your final response:
The experts will be given a copy of the lesson and any accompanying materials. The experts will complete a checklist and answer questions about the lesson. After the completion of the evaluation, the experts will be interviewed to clarify any comments and to offer advice on how to improve the lesson.

| Learners: one-to-one |
Your final response:
The lesson will be evaluated using 4 students from different academic abilities as well as from different socio-economic backgrounds. In the one-to-one, the students will evaluate the lesson to see if the materials are learnable and to see if the activities are engaging.

Your final response:
The instructional designer will complete a simple run through of the lesson. Each one-to-one evaluator will be asked to make written comments as the lesson progresses. Once the lesson is complete, there will be a discussion about the comments with the one-to –one evaluators.

| Learners: small-group |
Your final response:
Similar to the one–to-one evaluation, the small group will consist of 8 students similar to the targeted learners. Since a portion of the lesson consists of a cooperative learning activity, 2 groups of 4 out of the 8 students will be formed to evaluation that portion of the activity. In the small group evaluation, the materials will be evaluated to see if the materials are learnable and the lessons are engaging.

| Learners: field trial |
Your final response:
In the field test, a class of 30 students will be selected similar to the targeted learners. The evaluators will see if the materials are learnable and the lessons are engaging.
