(2) Assessment AS learning (students as own assessors)

Language:

Delay on grades

Lower the stakes:

Provide retakes:

require students ask Qs about own learning

Thinking strategy: Think, Puzzle, Explore: What Qs do you have about this topic? Connect, Extend, Question: Wha new Qs have emerged?

corrective feedback for student's confirmation bias

self-assessment

Exam Wrapper Post-exam meta-cognitive assessments

(1) Assessment FOR learning (informs planning of future learning for T and S)

ongoing/actionable feedback as a routine

for students (self-/peer) to recognize what they don't know

for teachers to plan lessons, group students, differentiate

student diagnostic (pre-assessment)

start of class/unit surveys

gaps in prerequisite learning

what students already know

Backward design (know the learning outcome)

3. Content: What materials will they need?

2. Assessment: How will students prove they know? Product to produce?

1. Objective: Desired outcome, what students should know, be able to do?

Rubrics

Content
Teach the rubric
Description must be observable

Not "understand why..."

Instead "I can explain why..."

Parallel language
"I" language

"Can do" statement

Simple, Age-appropriate

Below Standard/At Standard

Unsatisfactory/Competent

Still Learning/Sometimes/Almost always

😕🙂😁

⭐️/⭐️⭐️/⭐️⭐️⭐️

Types
Checklist
Single-Point

not easily quantified (avoids peer comparison)

no boundaries on student performance

student freedom

space to write strengths & weaknesses

Analytic

Developmental

Holistic

less/no actionable feedback

Quick to grade

Fixes for grading

peer assessment
Critical friends

Benefit:


"When groups are able to successfully critique, they become learning organization."

Peer-Feedback sentence stems


Assign students role to focus feedback on:


Medium:


Principles (Ron Berger):

  1. Be kind
  2. Be specific
  3. Be helpful


clear rubrics = set expectations/self-track progress
have students practice using rubric on example work
Grading for Growth
Going gradeless

Student self-assessment/awareness drives effort to learn

allow students to make go back, correct/resubmit

motivate avoidant-oriented and success-oriented students

from "what's my grade?" to "What can I do better?"

through effort, earn higher scores

assessments are submitted in parent portal but directly used for grading

SE2R Narrative Feedback Model (Summarize, Explain, Redirect and request resubmission)

Summarize:

"You wrote a brief reflection on The Hunger Games, in which you mix plot details and your own personal connection."


Explain:

"The summary information demonstrates comprehension of plot elements including characterization and conflict -- elements of fiction we recently learned. I think, however, that you misidentify the rising action. I like how you show empathy for Katniss and her plight, as she faces the prospect of killing Peeta (hint: what story element is this?). Elaborating on this part would help."


Redirect and request resubmission:

"Please review the presentation on rising action on our classroom web site. Then, revise your reflection, reworking the part on rising action, in order to demonstrate understanding of the concept. Then, elaborate on your feelings about Katniss's tough decision near the end of the story. When you have finished, e-mail me or send me a message on our private message board, telling me that you've done so."
