Tier II- (required) Development and use of assessments and evaluation tools, including using Rigor and Relevance (you are here). Tier III (optional) Professional development for future Assessment Tier Champions. Assessment Tier Professional Development

Slide 3

Assessment Tier II Objectives Develop reliable and purposeful measures related to SLOs through use of evaluation tools e.g., rubrics, and checklists. Apply appropriate assessment tools. Review SLOs, EOs, and Rigor and Relevance to create and select assessment items. Explore the use of assessment as part of the broader teaching and learning experience.

Rigor and Relevance Creating Evaluating Analyzing Applying Comprehending Remembering

Slide 7

Activity Using the SLOs and EOs that you brought: Identify the level on the Knowledge Taxonomy axis and on the Application Model axis using the Rigor and Relevance Framework provided in your folder. Identify the quadrant in which they fall on the Rigor and Relevance Framework. Exchange with a partner to review your work. Raise your hand if you need assistance.

Slide 8

Building An Assessment Steps in building an assessment: Determine which SLOs and EOs it will assess. Plot the SLOs and EOs on Rigor and Relevance Framework. Use the Recommendations for Assessments, Instructional Strategies, and Assignments handout to determine the best assessment methods. Determine criteria for success for the assessment.

Slide 9

Creating an Authentic Assessment Activity Based on the previous activity in which you identified the levels of Rigor and Relevance and the corresponding quadrants: Develop an appropriate authentic assessment for your course. Choose the SLOs and EOs that you would like to assess in an authentic and real world way. What is the best method of assessment? Determine criteria for success. Report out.

Slide 10

3 types of rubrics Examples of rubrics Creating a rubric Assessing a rubric Rubrics

Slide 11

3 Types of Rubrics Analytic Rubrics Holistic Rubrics Checklists

Slide 12

Analytic Rubric Provide specific feedback along several dimensions. Advantages: more detailed feedback, scoring more consistent across students and graders Disadvantage: time consuming to score

Slide 13

Example of Analytic Rubric

Slide 14

Holistic Rubric Provide a single score based on an overall impression of a students performance on a task. Advantages: quick scoring, provides overview of student achievement Disadvantages: does not provide detailed information, may be difficult to provide one overall score

Slide 15

Example of a Holistic Rubric

Slide 16

Checklist Contains a list of behaviors or specific steps Checklists are a simple list of assessment criteria or components that must be present in student work. All that is needed is a place to mark whether or not the student has accomplished the task or not, there is no judgment on the quality of the work.

Slide 17

Example of a Checklist

Slide 18

Guidelines Objective descriptors Holistic and Analytic Rubrics Use a 3+ zero scale Use a 4+ zero scale Use a point range starting at zero Waypoint ready Checklists Yes and No

Slide 19

Weighting Points on Rubric When reviewing or developing your rubric consider the weight that is distributed to measuring the SLOs. Consider ISLOs like Effective communication in various academic and career setting using technology as appropriate

Slide 20

Group Activity Using the assessment you created, construct an appropriate rubric. Identify the following briefly for your rubric: Components Scale Criteria for at least one component Do you need component weights? Point Be ready to share with the group.

Slide 21

Assess the Rubric Conduct a peer review. Ask one or two other instructors to review your rubric. Provide time for student review. Allow students to ask questions and make comments.

Slide 22

Implement and Refine Refine your rubric based on feedback from other instructors and students. Make notes each time you use the rubric for continuous improvement purposes. Share with others.

Slide 23

Review Built an authentic assessment. Determined: Which SLOs and EOs it will assess. Where the SLOs and EOs fall on Rigor and Relevance. What quadrants your SLO and EO fall into by using the Recommendations for Assessments, Instructional Strategies, and Assignments handout. The best assessment method to use to assess your SLOs and EOs. Criteria for success for the assessment. Created an analytic rubric.
