Assessments…Also• Provide students with information about
their performance that can promote their learning
• Motivate students to study or apply themselves because they know they are to be evaluated.
• Provide teachers with data to evaluate the effectiveness of their instruction

Black & Wiliam, 1998 Research Findings
• Comments have a strong impact on learning, stronger than comments & grades or only grades
• Quality of feedback is crucial to learning• Setting process goals is more effective than
setting product goals• “Assessment Conversations” are effective• Formative feedback is associated with more
positive attitudes towards learning

Rubrics: What Should Be Assessed?
• Standards & Benchmarks– What do you want students to know
and be able to do?– What will you be teaching
specifically?– Ask yourself: “How will I know that
they know?” …What does success look like?
