This document discusses assessment strategies for enhancing student learning. It defines different types of assessments, including diagnostic, formative, and summative assessments. Formative assessments are emphasized as being most effective for driving instruction when used ongoing throughout a course. Specific examples are provided for different formative assessment techniques like observations, homework, and reflections. The document also stresses the importance of providing timely and specific feedback to students to allow them to improve.

2024.06.01 Introducing a competency framework for languag learning materials ...Sandy Millin
http://sandymillin.wordpress.com/iateflwebinar2024
Published classroom materials form the basis of syllabuses, drive teacher professional development, and have a potentially huge influence on learners, teachers and education systems. All teachers also create their own materials, whether a few sentences on a blackboard, a highly-structured fully-realised online course, or anything in between. Despite this, the knowledge and skills needed to create effective language learning materials are rarely part of teacher training, and are mostly learnt by trial and error.
Knowledge and skills frameworks, generally called competency frameworks, for ELT teachers, trainers and managers have existed for a few years now. However, until I created one for my MA dissertation, there wasn’t one drawing together what we need to know and do to be able to effectively produce language learning materials.
This webinar will introduce you to my framework, highlighting the key competencies I identified from my research. It will also show how anybody involved in language teaching (any language, not just English!), teacher training, managing schools or developing language learning materials can benefit from using the framework.

3. What is Assessment?
“Assessment is today’s means
of understanding how to
modify tomorrow’s
instruction.”
- Carol Tomilinson

5. Learner assessment follows from the objectives. Based on the principles of
backward design developed by Wiggins and McTighe (1998), instructors identify
the lesson objective or desired results and then decide what they will accept as
evidence of learners’ knowledge and skills.
The concept of backward design holds that the instructor must begin with the end
in mind (i.e., what the student should be able to know, understand, or do) and
then map backward from the desired result to the current time and the students’
current ability/skill levels to determine the best way to reach the performance
goal.
Fact Sheet: Effective Lesson Planning
6. Goalsvs. objectives
GOALS
General expectations of student outcomes.
The OVERALL description and purpose of the
unit/lesson/etc.
Can be broad and vague
Example:
Students will understand the Bill of Rights and
the importance and impact it has on the lives
of American citizens.
OBJECTIVES
Statement of what students should be able
to do, or how they should change
developmentally, as a result of instruction.
Much more specific and MEASUREABLE
Example:
Students will able to list and explain each of
the ten amendments of the Bill of Rights.
7. Four components
of an objective
A – AUDIENCE
• The Student
B – BEHAVIOR
• What the student will do?
C – CONDITION
• Under what circumstance will the talk be accomplished?
D – DEGREE (Criteria)
• Percent correct
11. Students will beableto…
Look at the examples:
Which ones are well written and assessable objectives?
Which ones are not assessable?
How could you rewrite them to make them assessable?
12. Importantto
remember:
Assessment is a process.
Step 1: Establishing learning
objectives
Step 2: Provide learning opportunities
that relate to the objectives.
Step 3: Determine if learning has
occurred.
Step 4: Make revisions and
improvements based on
determinations of student learning.
Evaluations are Judgments based on performance.
Judgments about performance.
Mostly refers to the assignment of grades
based on student performance.
Examples: tests and papers
Thus, evaluation can be part of assessment, but it is not
assessment in and of itself.

18. WhenDoWeAssess?
At the beginning of the unit/time
period?
At the end?
In the middle?
Never?
Everyday?
Most teachers assess students
at the end of an instructional
unit/time period/sequence.
However, research proves that
“when assessment and
instruction are interwoven, both
the students and the teacher
benefit.”

20. DiagnosticAssessments
Pre-tests
Diagnostic Assessment can help you identify your students’ current knowledge
of a subject, their skill sets and capabilities, and to clarify misconceptions before
teaching takes place.
Knowing your students’ strengths and weaknesses can help you better plan
what to teach and how to teach it.
Pre-tests (on content and abilities)
Self-assessments (identifying skills and competencies)
Discussion board responses (on content-specific prompts)
Interviews (brief, private, 10-minute interview of each student)

21. FormativeAssessments
Formative assessment provides
feedback and information during the
instructional process, while learning is
taking place, and while learning is
occurring.
Formative assessment measures
student progress but it can also
assess your own progress as an
instructor.
◦ Observations during in-class activities; of students
non-verbal feedback during lecture
◦ Homework exercises as review for exams and class
discussions)
◦ Reflections journals that are reviewed periodically
during the semester
◦ Question and answer sessions, both formal—planned
and informal—spontaneous
◦ Conferences between the instructor and student at
various points in the semester
◦ In-class activities where students informally present
their results
◦ Student feedback collected by periodically answering
specific question about the instruction and their self-
evaluation of performance and progress.

22. Ongoing
Assessment
Strategies
Take 10
Look over the list of examples.
Make note of any questions you
may have.
How could you use these
strategies to drive
instruction?
How will ongoing
assessment help you teach
for success?
23. SummativeAssessments
Summative assessment takes place AFTER the
learning has been completed.
Provides information and feedback that sums up
the teaching and learning process.
Should match the material taught and reflect the
formative assessments.
Rubrics
Often developed around a set of standards or
expectations, can be used for summative
assessment.
Can be given to students before they begin
working on a particular project so they know what is
expected of them (precisely what they have to do)
for each of the criteria.
Help you to be more objective when deriving a
final, summative grade by following the same criteria
students used to complete the project.

24. Types of Summative
Assessments
Examinations (major, high-stakes
exams)
Final examination (a truly
summative assessment)
Term papers (drafts submitted
throughout the semester would be
a formative assessment)
Projects (project phases submitted
at various completion points could
be formatively assessed)
Portfolios (could also be assessed
during it’s development as a
formative assessment)
Performances
Student evaluation of the course
(teaching effectiveness)
Instructor self-evaluation

25. WhatistheDifference?
“Summative assessment is more product-oriented and
assesses the final product, whereas formative
assessment focuses on the process toward completing
the product. Once the project is completed, no further
revisions can be made. If, however, students are allowed
to make revisions, the assessment becomes formative,
where students can take advantage of the opportunity
to improve.”

1. It MUST be timely.
2. It MUST be SPECIFIC.
3. It MUST be understandable to the student.
4. It MUST allow the student to act on feedback

31. Evaluative feedback involves a judgment by the teacher based on implicit or
explicit norms.
Evaluative feedback may take the form of:
Approval: “That’s a good essay.” “You’ve done well.” “Good job!”
Disapproval: “That’s not good enough.” “Not your best.”
Reward: Gold stars//A+/Stickers
Punishment: “Write it out again.”
Evaluative feedback

32. Descriptivefeedback
Descriptive feedback:
focuses on identified learning outcomes and makes specific reference to the student’s
achievement.
Looks towards improvement.
An example of descriptive feedback:
“That’s a good introduction because you have covered the main points we discussed at
the beginning. Now … which points do you think you should expand on?”

students?
