Assessment
How will you measure learning outcomes?
• What will students say or do to show that lesson
objectives were met?
• What will you collect to show student’s learning
(portfolios, observations, work samples,
photographs, journals, etc.)
• How will you evaluate student work?
• How will you grade the student?
Assessment: How do you measure
what students have learned?
• Traditional quizzes and tests
– Paper/pencil
• Selected response
• Constructed response
• Performance tasks and projects
– Open-ended
– Complex
– Authentic
• 3 Kinds of Assessment
– Entry Level
– Progress-Monitoring (Formative)
– Summative
Types of Formative Assessments
• Summaries and Reflections
– Students stop and reflect, make sense of what they have
heard or read, derive personal meaning from their learning
experiences, and/or increase their metacognitive skills.
– These require that students use content-specific language.
• Lists, Charts, and Graphic Organizers
– Students will organize information, make connections, and
note relationships through the use of various graphic
organizers.

Types of Formative Assessments
• Visual Representations of Information
– Students will use both words and pictures to make
connections and increase memory, facilitating retrieval
of information later on.
– This "dual coding" helps teachers address classroom
diversity, preferences in learning style, and different
ways of "knowing."
• Collaborative Activities
– Students have the opportunity to move and/or
communicate with others as they develop and
demonstrate their understanding of concepts.

Rubrics for Summative Assessment
• Rubric - a scoring guide for evaluating student performance
• Allows for a variety of criteria or categories to be evaluated
on a sliding rating scale (not subject to one final percentage
score as in testing)
• A way to measure real-life, authentic learning experiences
in the classroom
• Provides a guide for students in determining expectations
of assignments
• Shows students and parents how the teacher is judging
student performance
