What should we assess?Not just content but skills!
Critical thinking CommunicationCreativityCollaboration CharacterCitizenshipIBM prediction on the internet of things: knowledge will double every 12 hrsSo, what they learn today may be obsolete when they enter the workforce. The focus of teaching must be not on content but transferable skills needed for success in the 21st century.

When ? Nor just in tests, but during lessons !
Just as your BP and other vitals are checked at every visit, you must assess students 6C in lessons all through the learning cycle
![Page 6: Demystifying asseessment](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062316/58e4e01f1a28abf5048b6a83/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)
HOW? Using sophisticated assessment tools
Just as sophisticated equipments reveal diseases , AfL tools and techniques make metacognition visible to teachers..KWL, GO, Concept maps, GD, exemplar cards, T-P-S, 1 sentence summaryes, exit cards
![Page 7: Demystifying asseessment](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062316/58e4e01f1a28abf5048b6a83/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
WHY? To learn better, not just to evaluate attainment
“ The report says only 60%of your heart is functioning . Come again for a retest next month ”
Assessment that does not lead to remedy is undesirable. When grading students, we celebrate what he has achieved but choose to ignore what he did not learn…these gaps in learning continue and accumulate over time to slow down his progress.

HOW DO WE USE ASSESSEMENT ?
I am writing some pills, take them regularly and come again next week to see if they are working?
Ah well, it isn’t working for you.. I’ll change this pill and add a new one- this should be fine. We’ll check again next week. A good doctor uses diagnosis well to help patient improve A good teacher uses
assessments to help students get better at learning

lesson to check if all students have the fundamental knowledge needed for learning the lesson:
Tools: CAT4, Previous exam results, entrance exam results, KWL , Concept map, Gos, Q,

Use of Assessments
Diagnostic assessments: used to understand the needs of students so instruction can be changed suitably
Formative assessments: used to check progress and reteach so all students learn as much as they can and no blocks in learning happen
These two help in improving quality of learning for each child,Summative assessment: used to plan further
courses and decide placements

Assessment as learning
• Students read a text/ watch material to find correct statements and correct the false ones Decisions
• Students work their problem and use the exemplar card to self correct/ explain why their solution is correct
Exemplar
• Students use a checklist to set standards for their workChecklist/model

Assessment for learning
Teacher corrects and provides feedback
Students use rubrics to edit their work
Students provide feedback on each others work
![Page 21: Demystifying asseessment](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062316/58e4e01f1a28abf5048b6a83/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
Assessment of student work
Purpose is to diagnose misconceptions and provide remedies.
Careful observation of mistakes: analysis of why they occur
How to correct these errors: corrective feedback for improvement

Characteristics of good Feedback:
Specific to goalImmediate Personalized, Sensitively givenImprovement guaranteed

Notebook comments
Conventional Comments Well done (neither specific, not will lead to improvement) Neat work (“) Do again (rude, unlikely to lead Work on your punctuation (which punctuation mark? How to correct ?) Check your answer( with whom/ what) Complete your work( how, by what time) Excellent! Keep up the good work! (telling the child there’s no room for
improvement? Leads to fixed mind set, fear of failure)
