Setting the Context9

1. Applying knowledge of the purposes, characteristics, and uses of different types of assessments

2. Collecting and analyzing assessment data from a variety of sources to inform instruction

3. Reviewing data, both individually and with colleagues, to monitor student learning

4. Using assessment data to establish learning goals and to plan, differentiate, and modify instruction

5. Involving all students in self-assessment, goal setting, and monitoring progress

6. Using available technologies to assist in assessment, analysis, and communication of student learning

7. Using assessment information to share timely and comprehensible feedback with students and their families

Activator- Assessment Terms

Assessment literacy is a broader topic than what we are focusing on today.

1. Here is a glossary of terms– see how many terms you are familiar with!

2. Use the scale to rate your familiarity with this term.3. Use the notes column to write down definitions or

examples of the terms you know 4. Fill any blank spaces in the notes column as you

hear the presentation.

Two Dimensions of Assessment

Formative and Summative

Embedded and Transfer of Learning

17

Formative or Summative?

Formative Intention – inform next

steps for teaching / learning

During an instructional sequence (lesson, module, unit)

Feedback is descriptive Not for grading/

accountability

Summative Intention - determines

status of learning After instructional

sequence Evaluative feedback Ok for grading /

accountability

18

Embedded or Transfer of Learning?

Embedded Within the

unit/lessonA part of the

teaching/ learning

Transfer of learning Can students

transfer what is learned through teaching to a new context, without teaching support?

Scope and Sequence Vocabulary

District Common Assignment- A task charging students to engage in content and skills distinguished by a PROMPT, A PRODUCT , AND A RUBRIC

an assignment is intentionally taught and focused on student achievement. (FUSD Common Assignment includes the above definition for K-12)

Previously known as the Culminating Task AC created using district provided frame

Use the card sort activity to check your understanding

23

Shifts in Summative Assessment

Each state procured their own assessments

Measured proficiency against state, not agreed upon standards

Results often delivered months after the test

Most administered on paper

Common, comparable scores across states measuring college and career readiness

Providing achievement and growth information for educational decisions and professional development

Administered online, with timely results
