This document discusses key features and purposes of diagnostic assessment. It emphasizes that assessment should empower students as learners, provide guidance to teachers and students on next steps, and value developing long-term skills over short-term performance. Assessment should be formative, diagnostic, and promote self-esteem. It should use criteria-referenced and public standards to lead to diagnostic teaching and self-evaluation. Evidence comes from classroom activities. The document then provides examples of diagnostic assessment tools and strategies teachers can use, such as journals, self-assessments, interviews, and mind maps.

Placement assessments are used to “place” students into a course, course level, or academic program. For example, an assessment may be used to determine whether a student is ready for Algebra I or a higher-level algebra course, such as an honors-level course.
For this reason, placement assessments are administered before a course or program begins, and the basic intent is to match students with appropriate learning experiences that address their distinct learning needs.

Evaluation is a process of making judgements to be used as a basis for planning. It consists of stablishing goals, collecting evidence, concerning growth towards goals, making judgements about the evidence and revising procedures and goals in the light of judgements. It is for improving the product, the process and even the goals in themselves.

The Roman Empire A Historical Colossus.pdfkaushalkr1407
The Roman Empire, a vast and enduring power, stands as one of history's most remarkable civilizations, leaving an indelible imprint on the world. It emerged from the Roman Republic, transitioning into an imperial powerhouse under the leadership of Augustus Caesar in 27 BCE. This transformation marked the beginning of an era defined by unprecedented territorial expansion, architectural marvels, and profound cultural influence.
The empire's roots lie in the city of Rome, founded, according to legend, by Romulus in 753 BCE. Over centuries, Rome evolved from a small settlement to a formidable republic, characterized by a complex political system with elected officials and checks on power. However, internal strife, class conflicts, and military ambitions paved the way for the end of the Republic. Julius Caesar’s dictatorship and subsequent assassination in 44 BCE created a power vacuum, leading to a civil war. Octavian, later Augustus, emerged victorious, heralding the Roman Empire’s birth.
Under Augustus, the empire experienced the Pax Romana, a 200-year period of relative peace and stability. Augustus reformed the military, established efficient administrative systems, and initiated grand construction projects. The empire's borders expanded, encompassing territories from Britain to Egypt and from Spain to the Euphrates. Roman legions, renowned for their discipline and engineering prowess, secured and maintained these vast territories, building roads, fortifications, and cities that facilitated control and integration.
The Roman Empire’s society was hierarchical, with a rigid class system. At the top were the patricians, wealthy elites who held significant political power. Below them were the plebeians, free citizens with limited political influence, and the vast numbers of slaves who formed the backbone of the economy. The family unit was central, governed by the paterfamilias, the male head who held absolute authority.
Culturally, the Romans were eclectic, absorbing and adapting elements from the civilizations they encountered, particularly the Greeks. Roman art, literature, and philosophy reflected this synthesis, creating a rich cultural tapestry. Latin, the Roman language, became the lingua franca of the Western world, influencing numerous modern languages.
Roman architecture and engineering achievements were monumental. They perfected the arch, vault, and dome, constructing enduring structures like the Colosseum, Pantheon, and aqueducts. These engineering marvels not only showcased Roman ingenuity but also served practical purposes, from public entertainment to water supply.

We all have good and bad thoughts from time to time and situation to situation. We are bombarded daily with spiraling thoughts(both negative and positive) creating all-consuming feel , making us difficult to manage with associated suffering. Good thoughts are like our Mob Signal (Positive thought) amidst noise(negative thought) in the atmosphere. Negative thoughts like noise outweigh positive thoughts. These thoughts often create unwanted confusion, trouble, stress and frustration in our mind as well as chaos in our physical world. Negative thoughts are also known as “distorted thinking”.
This is a presentation by Dada Robert in a Your Skill Boost masterclass organised by the Excellence Foundation for South Sudan (EFSS) on Saturday, the 25th and Sunday, the 26th of May 2024.
He discussed the concept of quality improvement, emphasizing its applicability to various aspects of life, including personal, project, and program improvements. He defined quality as doing the right thing at the right time in the right way to achieve the best possible results and discussed the concept of the "gap" between what we know and what we do, and how this gap represents the areas we need to improve. He explained the scientific approach to quality improvement, which involves systematic performance analysis, testing and learning, and implementing change ideas. He also highlighted the importance of client focus and a team approach to quality improvement.

than on intuition.
• Assessment data should be derived from everyday
classroom activities.
• Assessment opportunities should be sought in everyday
classroom activities.
• Semi-structured approaches to gathering data are
recommended, generating words rather than numbers
(measures).

Editor's Notes
ROLE OF ASSESSMENT1. Summative Role (“Making Sure”) to determine to which extent of the learning objectives for a course are met and why.2. DIAGNOSTIC ROLE (“Finding Out”)To determine the gaps in learning or learning processes, hopefully to be able to bridge these gaps - it detects students’ learning difficulties which are not revealed by formative tests or checked by remedial instruction and other instructional adjustments)DiagnosticProvides feedback to students and teachers on - strengths and weaknesses- difficulties- misconceptions3. Formative Assessment (“Checking in; feedback; student involvement”) allows the teacher to redirect and refocus the course of teaching a subject matter4. Placement to determine the appropriate placement of the student both in terms of achievement or aptitude (where a student will most likely excel or do well)Assessment are interconnected. They seldom stand alone in construction or effect.
A response journal is a student’s personal record containing written, reflective responses to material he or she is reading, viewing, listening to, or discussing. The response journal can be used as an assessment tool in all subject areas.Guidelines:Specify to students the purpose of the journalGive clear directions to students on how to get started (prompts for instance “I was very happy when…)Give guidelines on length of each entryBe clear yourself on the principal purpose of the journalHelp students to process your feedback, and show them how to respond to your responses
Self assessment is a process by which the student gathers information about, and reflects on, his or her own learning. It is the student’s own assessment of personal progress in terms of knowledge, skills, processes, or attitudes. Self assessment leads students to a greater awareness and understanding of themselves as learners.For diagnostic purposes, students can reflect on what they know about a topic and previous experiences with this topic. This would work well with skills that are repeated and refined year after year such as comprehension strategies.Self and peer-assessments samplesOral production-student self-checklist, peer checklist, offering and receiving holistic rating of an oral presentation Listening comprehension- listening to TV or radio broadcasts and checking comprehension with a partnerWriting-revising work on your own, peer-editingReading- reading textbook passages followed by self-check comprehension questions, self-assessment of reading habits(page 416, Brown, 2001)
Also known as PRE-TEST Sometimes uses forced choice questions (multiple choice)Thinking about the criteria for success and the achievement of the curriculum expectations teachers can design questions they want students to answer by the end of the learning cycle.Teachers can then administer the quiz again at the end of the learning cycle to compare students results to determine student learning.
Placemat organizer is given to a group of students Each student gets their own section on the organizerStudents write their ideas and answers in their own portion of the placemat.As each group member shares with rest of group, the person to the right of speaker summarizes and records speaker’s main points in circle.
The word ‘assess’ comes from the Latin verb ‘assidere’ meaning ‘to sit with’. In assessment one is supposed to sit with the learner. This implies it is something we do ‘with’ and ‘for’ students and not ‘to’ students (Green, 1999).Conference characteristicsCommonly used when teaching writingOne-on-one interaction between teacher and studentConferences are formative assessment as opposed to offering a final grade or a summative assessment. In other words, they are meant to provide guidance and feedback.
Assess student learning from student individual and group research projects Creation of an individual poster/brochure or team poster/brochure as a weekly assessment to primarily ensure weekly objectives are understood. A poster presentation guides the student through the basics of the study, freeing the presenter to focus on discussion of essential elements of the work. Decisions about poster format and design contribute to efficient and accurate transfer of information using this medium
A wordsplash is a set of key terms or concepts related to a given concept, typically displayed in an interesting visual presentation. Used as a pre-reading strategy, wordsplash can tap into students’ prior knowledge about a topic before they encounter it in the classroom. This technique can help teachers become acquainted with what students already know before beginning a lesson, and can engage students by enabling them to contribute before the lesson gets off the ground. Wordsplash can also be used as a helpful summarizing device to help students synthesize information as they read or after they finish reading.As a pre-reading Strategy To use as a pre-reading strategy, select a group of key terms from an assigned reading before students read it. Use the terms to create a wordsplash on a large piece of newsprint or an overhead transparency — put the central topic in the center, and “splash” the key terms around it. Project or display it in the classroom.Put students into small groups, and have them generate complete sentences that explain the relationship they expect to find between each term and the central topic. After the statements have been created, have the students complete the assigned reading, pausing after each paragraph to compare their statements with the information in the reading. As the students encounter each term in the reading, have them modify their list of statements. For statements that are neither confirmed nor denied by the text, have students mark the statements with a question mark.
Promote thinking and discussionOften allow for the surfacing of common misconceptions—diagnosticWork well in both small groups and whole classCan use ‘blank’ bubbles and allow students to fill them in then have other students interact with them*Not all Concept Cartoons have a ‘right answer.’
