 Cream I was comfortable with the discussion and editing of the final product. The review of aspects of assessment, validation of the balance, and modeling by others in the class were the most helpful aspects of the lesson. The jigsaw activity, team products, rubrics, and varieties of assessments are elements I already use. I was glad to get the B/K grid of Language Arts lessons to share with the 8th Language Arts department. Areas of assessment that are part of my practice: 1. "Of learning" : primarily grades on tests (student created and teacher created). Students participate in creating rubrics for graded materials so that they help establish relevance and so that they understand the long term importance of each process and don't get stuck on a grade that is meaningless. 2. "For learning": I do informal observation, conferencing, frequent assessment using rubrics, and impromptu checks for understanding in individual or whole group situations for differentiation or for adjustments in the lesson process, format, or sequence. 3. " As learning": Students set personal goals on individual assignments or long-term skills. They create focus targets for themselves, develop assessment instruments and test instruments, self-evaluate on a range of issues, set timeframes for themselves, reflect, and create performance and showcase portfolios. |
