A thought to consider-- A thought to consider-- "Whether I liked it or not, informative assessment always demonstrated to me that my students' knowledge, understanding, and skill were emerging along different time continuums and at different depths. It became excruciatingly clear that my brilliant teaching was not equally brilliant for everyone in my classes. In other words, informative assessment helped me solidify a need for differentiation. “ (Tomlinson, 2007)

Enduring Understandings:
A balanced assessment system leads to high-quality teaching and deeper student understanding.
Balanced assessment insures that instruction meets the intellectual, social, and emotional needs of gifted learners.
Essential Questions: How can pre, formative, and summative assessment be used to
shape the learning opportunities presented to students and promote rigor?
To what extent does a teacher use formative assessment as a measure of student understanding and to plan or modify learning opportunities presented to students?
How will I know the degree to which my students have gained understanding of unit goals and objectives?

Thinking Like an Assessor
Ask yourself these questions:
• What kinds of evidence do we need?
• What specific characteristics in student responses, products, or performances should we examine?
• Does the proposed evidence enable us to infer a student’s knowledge, skill, or understanding?

So What?So What?Let’s consider Stage One like an
assessor.
What preassessment data will you need for this unit?
How will you use the data?
What formative assessments will provide you and the students with the feedback needed prior to summative performance?
How will your formative assessments complement the summative performance task to come?
How can the formative assessment provide both descriptive feedback and the opportunity for student reflection?

Final ThoughtFinal Thought “Our success in teaching for
understanding depends on our design skills—our ability to design assessments that naturally raise questions and new ideas instead of telling students what we know, and assuming that they understand.”
