  1. Assessment

  2. Assessment For Learning: Diagnostic • Formative feedback – rather than evaluative • Part of everyday teaching - ongoing • For the teacher-gathering information about student learning to help make instructional decisions • For the student- informs them about their learning

  3. Effective Feedback is: • Descriptive rather than evaluative—feedback should identify what the student is doing well and what needs improvement and, most crucially, provide next steps to guide the student on how to improve • Focused—on the learning goals and the success criteria. • Limited—to a few traits or characteristics of student performance. it is tempting to point out all the areas where improvement is needed; however, feedback is more likely to improve learning when it is focused on a few priorities. • Timely—that is, offered “just in time” and at regular intervals to support students in continuously monitoring their progress toward a learning goal. • Implemented by students and monitored by the teacher—students are expected to act on the feedback. This means that they must be provided time and opportunities to respond with teacher support and that teachers need to follow up on the students’ responses.

  4. Assessment For Learning Tools: Used by Students and Teachers • Learning Goals (student friendly language) • Success Criteria (student friendly language) • Rubric (sometimes generated with students) • Checklists • Exemplar student work samples • 3 stars and a wish • Exit Ticket

  5. Assessment For Learning Tools: Instruments used to record data • Rubric • Checklists • Observation Sheet • Anecdotal recording sheet • Conference Recording Sheet • Audio recording • Photograph • Video recording • Running Record • CASI Recording Sheet • Interview Form • Developmental ContinuumOral, Reading, Writing • Smart Notebook file

  6. Assessment For Learning Strategies: Specific Tasks for Students (not an exhaustive list) • Portfolios • Journals • Learning logs • Conferences • Brainstorming • Mind map • RAN chart • KWL chart • Debate • Discussion • Turn and Talk • Elbow Partners • Thumbs-up/Thumbs-down

  7. Assessment As Learning:Metacognition- awareness of one’s own learningSelf Assessment & Peer Assessment • Watch video – Segment 5: Setting Learning GoalsOnce students have learned to recognize, describe, and apply success criteria, they can use their peer and self assessment to plan next steps • To make classroom assessment work, students must know explicitly what they are learning, what it looks like when they have learned, what and how to improve, how to assess their work, and ultimately take specific next steps to improve. • Students constantly monitor and self-regulate their learning by: • Making adjustments about their knowledge and skills • Self-reflecting about what they read, hear, and do Source:http://www.edugains.ca/resourcesAER/VideoLibrary/SelfAssessment/AssociatedFiles/SelfAssessment_VideoSeries_Transcript.pdf

  8. Assessment As Learning:The Self Assessment Process • The self-assessment process requires students to: • Identify what they must learn (Learning Goals & Success Criteria) • Know what success looks like (e.g., Review anchor charts, exemplars) • Learn how to apply the criteria • Give and receive feedback on their self-assessments – I statements • Use self-assessments to plan next steps • Use self-assessments to set their own learning goals Source:http://www.edugains.ca/resourcesAER/VideoLibrary/SelfAssessment/AssociatedFiles/SelfAssessment_VideoSeries_Transcript.pdf

  9. Assessment As Learning:Four Stage Model for Student to Self-Assess • Defining Success Criteria • Applying success criteria to monitor their own work • Give and receive feedback • Set learning goals and plan next steps Source:http://www.edugains.ca/resourcesAER/VideoLibrary/SelfAssessment/AssociatedFiles/SelfAssessment_VideoSeries_Transcript.pdf View- Self Assessment: http://www.edugains.ca/newsite/aer2/aervideo/videoclips.html

  11. Assessment of Learning: Evaluation / Summative Assessment • Designed to provide information to parents, schools, board level administrators, as well as students • Presented in a periodic report • Summarizes information with levels, grades, or numbers • Compares student achievement with established standards Source: Cooper (2006)
