  1. Evaluation of Learning Principles and Practices

  2. Students succeed when… • They are clear on what the target is • They have opportunities to practice • They receive supportive coaching • They build abilities in a coordinated and progressive manner • They develop the ability to analyze their own work

  3. Evaluation works best when… • Students are clear on what the target is! • Provide clear, objective assignment guidelines • Provide samples, if possible, of desired product • Provide a marking rubric showing where the marks will come from • Tie evaluation strategy directly to the learning outcome being measured • Domain/level

  4. Students have opportunities to practice • Provide practice on cumulative steps/pieces so students gain formative feedback—”how am I doing so far?” • Make sources of additional help clear and easy to access (tutorials, peer tutors, learning centre etc.) • Students receive supportive coaching • Build on achievements • Specific correction of errors • The goal is to have the student be able to do it, not show that the teacher knows how to do it!

  5. Students build abilities in a coordinated and progressive manner • Build lower level skills in early courses • Identify, recognize, imitate etc. • Increase in higher level courses • Assess, create, recommend, analyze etc.

  6. Students develop the ability to analyze their own work • Engage students in peer and self evaluation (against rubrics or samples) to develop analysis skills in upper terms • Have students develop the rubrics with you • Increase the level of analysis/ evaluation required in higher level courses • This can be done through projects and carefully designed multiple choice tests

  7. How can we achieve these things? • Assess your own course, teaching methods, evaluation practices • Discuss these with program teammates • Create a deliberate, coordinated approach to evaluation throughout the program • Consider program mapping • Gain skills in a variety of evaluation methods • Ask for professional development if necessary
