Outcomes with vary (open-ended) (ex. students just went over the definition of "safety". Students can be tasked with performing a skit. The scenario being that they are at a park and they have to apply the definition of "safety" to a real life scenario. What would being safe look like? (not talking to strangers and telling a trusted/known adult)
Example#2-->Science Experiment: Students perform an experiment over the information learned and apply their knowldge to produce a result.
Interim/Benchmark
Definition: Interim/benchmarks can be described as standardized tests or exams that are used to assess a students performance in relation to standards for the grade level and age of the student. These are utilized to track a students learning and progress to determine if they are on course to do well in future testings.
Example#1--> STAAR: STAAR testing takes place towards the end of an academic year and assesses a students knowledge of core subjects. It it scaled to assess a students performance of the specified grade level of a student and if the subjects have been mastered, according to state guidlines.
Example#2-->MAP Testing: In first grade, reading and math are subjects that are tested through this type of testing on the computer to evaluate and measure a student's achievement and growth in essential skills. The data provides evidence of what skills need focus.

Example#1--> Hand signal: during a learning activity, when asked a question or to describe their understanding of the topic or portion of an activity, students will display a finger from 1-5; 1 being the lowest, and 5 being complete understanding. This will help the teacher see if the point in question needs to be reiterated.
Example#2--> Exit Card: Each student will be given a sticky note or index card and answer a question related to the lesson or topic just learned. The teacher will review the answers to see if a review or alternative teaching approach is needed before moving on to the next topic or learning activity.
