Title of Artifact: Lesson Plan 2
Standard: Standard Six Assessment The teacher understands and uses multiple methods of
assessment to engage learners in examining their own growth, to monitor learner progress, and to
guide the teachers and learners decision-making.

I am placing my artifact, Lesson Plan 2, under Standard Six- Assessment, as evidence of

continued mastery towards helping students understand and assess their own progress and
emotions. Through strategies and support from teachers, students must learn to handle conflicts
on their own. In Lesson Plan 2, students were asked to act out/respond to a particular situation
with a partner, which encouraged creativity and acting. Students learned methods for handling
conflict and when to tell an adult. This is evidence of my ability to engage learners in self
assessment and self reflection to guide the students decision making.
