Accurate Assessment

WHY ASSESS?What’s the purpose?

Students are users too!

ASSESS WHAT?What are the learning

targets?Are they clear?Are they good?

Who will use the results?

Be sure students understand targets too!

ASSESS HOW?What method?Written well?

Sampled how?Avoid bias how?

Students can participatein the process too!

COMMUNICATE HOW?

How is informationmanaged?reported?

Students track progress and communication, too!

The good news is---you are doing much of this

already!This Formative Classroom Assessment

Program simply helps you make your current practice more intentional and

effective.

Assessments for and of Learning

Assessment OF Learning

Assessment FOR Learning

Reason Check status

To Inform Other people

(as in summative)

Focus Standards

Example Internal/external accountability tests

Teacher’s Role Administer, interpret/use results, develop classroom tests, assign grades

Student’s Role Meet standard, score high/avoid failure

Place in Time After learning

Assessments for and of Learning

Assessment OF Learning

Assessment FOR Learning

Reason Check status Improve learning

To Inform Others (summative) Students (involvement) Teachers (instruction)

Focus Standards Learning targets

Example Internal/external accountability tests

Diagnostic assessments, ungraded quizzes, teacher observations, learning logs, oral questioning, etc.

Teacher’s Role Administer, interpret/use results, develop classroom tests, assign grades

Change standards into classroom targets, provide descriptive feedback, inform and involve students

Student’s Role Meet standard, score high/avoid failure

See target, use results to improve learning; set goals

Place in Time After learning During learning

If kids don’t want to learn, there will be no learning. If kids don’t feel able to learn, there will be no

learning. The questions is…How can we use assessments to help our

students to learn?

Rick Stiggins, 2004.

Students Involvement: Three Guiding Questions

• Where am I going?

• Where am I now?

• How can I close the gap?

Adapted from Atkin, Black, & Coffey, 2001

Page 18: Formative Assessment Workshop

Seven Strategies for Assessment for Learning

• Know where they are going1. Provide clear and understandable vision of the learning target.2. Use examples and models of strong and weak work.

• Know where they are now3. Offer regular descriptive feedback.4. Teach students to self-assess and goal set

• Know how to close the gap5. Design lessons to focus on one aspect of quality at a time.6. Teach students focused revision.7. Engage students in self-reflection, and let them keep track of and share their learning.

Key Two: Clear Targets

Page 21: Formative Assessment Workshop

Knowledge Learning Target

The facts and concepts we want students to know and understand

Page 22: Formative Assessment Workshop

Reasoning Learning Target• The ability to use that knowledge and

understanding to figure things out and to solve problems

– Analyze, compare/contrast, synthesize, classify, evaluate, etc.

– Inductive and deductive thinking

Page 23: Formative Assessment Workshop

Performance Skill Learning Target

• The development of proficiency in doing something where it is the process that is important

– Oral presentation

– Team debate

– Speak a second language

– Playing a musical instrument

Page 24: Formative Assessment Workshop

Product Learning Target

• Using knowledge, reasoning, and skills to design, create, or develop a tangible product, where creating the object itself is the focus of learning

– Writing sample

– Term project, exhibit

– Painting

Page 25: Formative Assessment Workshop

Finding our Targets

Driving a Car

• What will students need to know?– K Target: Understand informal rules of the road.

• What reasoning skills are involved?– R Target: Analyze road conditions, vehicle performance,

and other driver’s actions.

• What will students need to be able to do?– PS Target: Ability to steer, signal, park, backing up, etc.

• What are the requirements of the products that might be created as a result?– P Target: None

Page 26: Formative Assessment Workshop

Deconstructing Learning Targets

Page 27: Formative Assessment Workshop
Page 28: Formative Assessment Workshop

So how do we deconstruct our learning targets?

Part 1:• Handout, Unpacking a GLE• Get with a partner who teaches a similar

grade and content• Follow the coding steps of Unpacking a GLEPart 2:• Use that information to write the

Deconstructed GLEs / Learning Targets at the classroom level and student friendly level

Page 29: Formative Assessment Workshop

Strategy 1 and 2

• Strategy #1: Provide a Clear and Understandable Vision of the Learning Target

• Strategy #2: Use Examples and Models of Strong and Weak Work

Page 30: Formative Assessment Workshop

What are some benefits of clear learning targets?

Page 31: Formative Assessment Workshop

Benefits of Clear Targets

• Help to avoid the problem of too much to teach and too little time.

• Provide a foundation for collaborative planning among teachers.

• Facilitate assessment for learning: when students understand the intended learning, they are set up for productive self-assessment and goal setting.

• Facilitate communication with parents.

Page 32: Formative Assessment Workshop

There is a need for discrete targets and for general “destinations”.

First Pit Stop

Purposes of Formative Assessment

Changing Gears

How do we communicate?

Page 37: Formative Assessment Workshop

Characteristics of Quality Feedback

Immediate

Based on standards/criteria

Descriptive, so the student knows what to do differently

Supportive of learning

Leads students to take ownership of their own learning

Feedback Creed

“Do nothing to diminish hope.”

Descriptive or Evaluative Feedback Activity

The beginning of your story really grabbed my attention. Work on making the end just as powerful.

Page 40: Formative Assessment Workshop

Try harder next time.

You maintained eye contact with the audience throughout your whole presentation.

Table 3 is ready for lunch. They have their desks clear, they are sitting down, and

they are quiet.

Let’s get out the lessons from the morning and apply

them to an actual unit.

Feedback

“Feedback is an engineering term…it leads back to the beginning, linking you to your original objectives, and always moves you forward.”
