This document discusses different grading systems including pass/fail, standard letter grades, and narrative grading. It outlines advantages and disadvantages of each system. Advantages of pass/fail grading include being less emotional for younger students and encouraging risk-taking. However, pass/fail does not provide much information about a student's achievement levels. Standard letter grades clearly articulate learning skills but can promote competition over cooperation. Narrative grading allows students and parents to understand strengths and weaknesses but requires time to implement changes. Overall, the document presents tradeoffs of different grading approaches.

Practicality and-efficiency
The document discusses practicality and efficiency as important factors for teacher assessments. Assessments should be familiar to teachers and easy to administer and score so they don't require too much time or resources. Multiple choice tests are efficient to score but time-consuming to create, while essay tests are quicker to make but longer to grade. Performance assessments take the most time. Assessments should also have simple instructions, accurate scoring methods, clear results, and low costs.
K to12 ASSESSMENT AND RATING OF LEARNING OUTCOMES
This document outlines the assessment and rating system for learning outcomes under the K to 12 Basic Education Curriculum. It discusses the philosophy, nature, levels, tools, and frequency of assessment. Assessment will be standards-based and focus on knowledge, skills, understanding, and performance. Student proficiency will be rated on a scale and determine promotion. Rubrics will provide clear guidelines for evaluating student work. Formative and summative assessments will track progress and measure proficiency. The system aims to support quality learning through self-reflection and accountability.
Characteristics of 21st Century Assessment
The document discusses the key characteristics of 21st century assessment:
1) Assessments should be responsive, flexible, and integrated into daily instruction rather than isolated events.
2) Assessments need to be informative, using clear goals and exemplars to guide student learning.
3) A variety of assessment methods should be used to accommodate all students and communicate results to stakeholders.
Traditional assessment and non traditional assessment
Traditional assessments typically involve multiple choice, true/false, or matching questions and evaluate students through ranked scores and grades. They are reliable and easy to administer but encourage low-level thinking. Non-traditional assessments like performance and portfolio evaluations directly observe students' applied skills and require higher-order thinking. They integrate written and applied measures to demonstrate proficiency in real-world tasks and emphasize cooperation over competition. While traditional tests enhance learning through understanding, non-traditional assessments enhance learning by requiring students to communicate interconnections among concepts and procedures.

Assessment & Learning Presentation
This presentation provides an overview of how we use assessment and feedback, in a standards-based environment, to drive student learning.
Oral examination
Oral examinations are used when written exams cannot fully evaluate students. They allow teachers to diagnose students' difficulties and assess how well students can apply their knowledge in different situations. Oral exams also evaluate oral expression, pronunciation, and debate performance. While oral exams allow for free response and clarification from students, they have limitations such as inadequate sampling, subjectivity, and favoritism. To improve oral exams, objectives and content should be clearly defined, questions of equal difficulty should be used, and acceptable answers planned for in advance.
MDC SSI Final
The document discusses the Student Strengths Inventory (SSI), a non-cognitive assessment designed to help colleges identify at-risk students and develop student success interventions. The SSI measures six non-cognitive factors predictive of student success. It was found to be as effective as a previous assessment, ENGAGE, in identifying students at risk of poor academic performance after one semester. The SSI immediately provides students individualized feedback on their results, including recommendations and campus resources for each factor. Advisors will use SSI results to identify at-risk students and have discussions at advising sessions about improving study skills, course load, time management, and more. A list of campus resources will also be included in advisement materials provided

Afl reflections features of successful lessons
This document provides typical features of more and less successful lessons based on feedback from recent lesson observations. It summarizes key elements of lessons like learning intentions, success criteria, tasks/activities, feedback, inclusion, and literacy. Stronger lessons tend to have clear learning intentions, well-defined success criteria and models, engaging tasks aligned to the learning, specific feedback, appropriate challenge for all students, and explicit literacy instruction. Weaker lessons often lack focus, have unclear or absent success criteria, include superficial tasks and feedback, provide inappropriate challenge, and do not explicitly teach relevant literacy skills.
Exhibition rubricstudent
This rubric evaluates students on their exhibition inquiry project in 5 categories: depth of inquiry, depth of understanding, time management, demonstration of essential elements, and collaboration. For each category, the rubric provides descriptors to assess student performance at a level of 1 (below expectations) to 5 (exceptional, well above expectations for the grade level). The highest level demonstrates an extensive, well-researched inquiry with an exceptional understanding of the topic and excellent time management, demonstration of learner profile attributes, and ability to collaborate as a leader and role model.
assessment for learning (1).pptx
- The document discusses various types of assessments including diagnostic, formative, summative, individual, and ipsative assessments. It provides details on the purpose and characteristics of each type.
- Diagnostic assessments measure students' strengths and weaknesses before instruction, while formative assessments provide feedback during instruction. Summative assessments evaluate learning at the end of a unit.
- Individual assessments gather information about a single student's knowledge, skills, and progress. Ipsative assessments focus on a student's personal growth by comparing performance over time.
Standard-Based Grading
Standards-based grading focuses on how students perform on learning standards rather than assignments. It provides numeric scores for each standard to indicate a student's level of mastery. This differs from traditional grading, which can incorporate factors like behavior, late work, and extra credit unrelated to learning. Standards-based grading better reflects students' knowledge and informs instruction. It aims to differentiate learning and motivate students. While implementation requires extensive work, advocates argue it has benefits for students, parents, teachers and instruction.
roles_of_assessment_in_making_instructional_decisions.pptx
Diagnostic, formative, and summative assessments each serve different purposes in making instructional decisions. Diagnostic assessment evaluates students' prior knowledge and skills before instruction to identify weaknesses. Formative assessment is administered during instruction through tools like questioning and provides feedback to improve teaching and learning. Summative assessment evaluates student achievement after instruction for grading purposes and to gauge curriculum effectiveness. Together, these assessments inform teachers' instructional planning at different stages of learning.
Designing classroom language test
This document discusses guidelines for designing classroom language tests. It begins by outlining critical questions to consider when designing a test, such as the purpose of the test, its objectives, how test specifications and items will reflect the purpose and objectives, and how the test will be scored. It then describes different types of language tests, including aptitude, proficiency, placement, diagnostic, and achievement tests. Finally, it lists practical steps for designing tests, such as assessing clear objectives, developing test specifications, devising test tasks, and designing multiple-choice items to measure specific objectives in a simple, direct manner.
Differentiated instruction workshop 2010
This document discusses differentiated instruction for students with disabilities in a co-taught classroom. It defines differentiated instruction as tailoring instruction to meet students' unique needs and maximize their strengths. Teachers should differentiate based on student interests, learning profiles, and skill levels. Some ways to differentiate include modifying content, assessments, materials, and activities. The goal is to effectively support students' varied learning needs and help them meet academic standards.
Differentiated Assessment
This document discusses differentiated instruction and assessment. It explains that differentiated instruction involves ensuring what students learn, how they learn it, and how they demonstrate learning matches their readiness, interests, and preferred learning styles. The document emphasizes being proactive to identify student challenges early and accommodate individual needs. It discusses theories of how students learn, such as visual/auditory/kinesthetic and multiple intelligences models. The document argues current schools often overlook certain intelligences and cater mostly to linguistic and logical learners. It advocates for performance assessments that allow for differentiation and assessing higher-order thinking. The document stresses differentiated assessment should diagnose student strengths/weaknesses and account for different learning styles and intelligences through varied assessment forms. It also emphasizes assessment
Rubrics.pptx
Rubrics are assessment tools that clearly outline the criteria and achievement levels for student work or assignments. There are two main types of rubrics: holistic rubrics that provide an overall score based on criteria taken as a whole, and analytical rubrics that score each criterion separately to provide more detailed feedback. Rubrics help ensure student work is assessed objectively according to clearly defined expectations and can be used to evaluate a variety of assignments and tasks.
Assessment literacy
The document discusses a case study evaluating whether enhancing assessment literacy in first-year business students at Middlesex University leads to improved performance. It describes a 12-week program to introduce students to different assessments and provide support. Evaluation found the enhanced students' grades were slightly lower overall, though understanding of assessments and confidence in some areas was higher. Regression analysis showed understanding of essay requirements predicted essay grades for enhanced students. This suggests developing assessment literacy may benefit student performance.

Roles of assessment_in_making_instructional_decisions (1)
Formative, summative, and diagnostic assessments are used to evaluate students at different stages of learning. Diagnostic assessment evaluates students' skills and knowledge at the start of a course. Formative assessment monitors student learning through ongoing feedback. Summative assessment evaluates student achievement and progress at the end of a unit or course for grading purposes. Together these assessment types provide teachers with information to support and improve student learning.

Friedrich schleiermacher
Friedrich Schleiermacher discusses different methods of translation in his 1813 treatise. He acknowledges that translation is difficult due to conceptual differences between languages. Specifically, attempting to reproduce an alien concept's meaning through paraphrase can undermine the original intention. Schleiermacher argues that due to a language's plasticity, a translator can bend the target language's concepts and usages to bring readers closer to the author's conceptual world, rather than distorting the author's ideas to fit the readers' language. The key is for the translation to communicate an impression of the original's linguistic-conceptual system as much as possible.
Conceptualizing a hermeneutic model
The document discusses the benefits of exercise for mental health. Regular physical activity can help reduce anxiety and depression and improve mood and cognitive functioning. Exercise causes chemical changes in the brain that may help protect against mental illness and improve symptoms.

Implementing the curriculum
Stakeholders play important roles in curriculum implementation. The primary stakeholders are learners, as the curriculum is developed for and influences them. Teachers are also key stakeholders as they develop and implement the curriculum. Curriculum managers and administrators supervise the implementation process. Parents support the curriculum both within the school and at home, such as through parent associations and by serving as resource speakers. Government bodies like DepEd and CHED oversee curriculum implementation at different education levels.
Implementing the curriculum the teacher as curriculum implementer and manager
Teachers play a primary role in implementing curriculum as curriculum makers. They develop lessons, units, and plans that address student needs and interests. Teachers design, enrich, and modify curriculum to suit different learners. Students view teachers as crucial for shaping the school curriculum through the experiences and resources they provide. While technology can support teachers, it cannot replace the complex, multifaceted role teachers play. School administrators also help shape curriculum as managers who oversee its implementation and ensure continuity and balance across grade levels.
What is stakeholders??

LAND USE LAND COVER AND NDVI OF MIRZAPUR DISTRICT, UP
This Dissertation explores the particular circumstances of Mirzapur, a region located in the
core of India. Mirzapur, with its varied terrains and abundant biodiversity, offers an optimal
environment for investigating the changes in vegetation cover dynamics. Our study utilizes
advanced technologies such as GIS (Geographic Information Systems) and Remote sensing to
analyze the transformations that have taken place over the course of a decade.
The complex relationship between human activities and the environment has been the focus
of extensive research and worry. As the global community grapples with swift urbanization,
population expansion, and economic progress, the effects on natural ecosystems are becoming
more evident. A crucial element of this impact is the alteration of vegetation cover, which plays a
significant role in maintaining the ecological equilibrium of our planet.Land serves as the foundation for all human activities and provides the necessary materials for
these activities. As the most crucial natural resource, its utilization by humans results in different
'Land uses,' which are determined by both human activities and the physical characteristics of the
land.
The utilization of land is impacted by human needs and environmental factors. In countries
like India, rapid population growth and the emphasis on extensive resource exploitation can lead
to significant land degradation, adversely affecting the region's land cover.
Therefore, human intervention has significantly influenced land use patterns over many
centuries, evolving its structure over time and space. In the present era, these changes have
accelerated due to factors such as agriculture and urbanization. Information regarding land use and
cover is essential for various planning and management tasks related to the Earth's surface,
providing crucial environmental data for scientific, resource management, policy purposes, and
diverse human activities.
Accurate understanding of land use and cover is imperative for the development planning
of any area. Consequently, a wide range of professionals, including earth system scientists, land
and water managers, and urban planners, are interested in obtaining data on land use and cover
changes, conversion trends, and other related patterns. The spatial dimensions of land use and
cover support policymakers and scientists in making well-informed decisions, as alterations in
these patterns indicate shifts in economic and social conditions. Monitoring such changes with the
help of Advanced technologies like Remote Sensing and Geographic Information Systems is
crucial for coordinated efforts across different administrative levels. Advanced technologies like
Remote Sensing and Geographic Information Systems

Changes in vegetation cover refer to variations in the distribution, composition, and overall
structure of plant communities across different temporal and spatial scales. These changes can
occur natural.
