  8. WHERE ARE OUR ASSESSMENT PRACTICES NOW? Make a chart and record the categories and the number of items in each category. Using your table group’s results, discuss what assessment in “looks like.” Whole Group: Dot Summary Table

  9. A balanced assessment plan is essential to gather evidence of the range of learning within our curriculum. Assessment Strategies

  11. 7 Suggestions for Sharing Outcomes!

  12. Enduring Understandings about Learner Outcomes Making learner outcomes visible to students throughout the learning process helps students make connections and be actively involved in their learning. Teaching from the outcomes and to the outcomes—and aligning instruction and assessment with the outcomes—deepens student learning.

  13. 1. Parent Curriculum: • Handbooks • Summaries • Curriculum Express http://education.alberta.ca/parents/resources/handbook.aspx Sharing with Parents

  14. 2. Make your outcomes visible in your classroom.

  15. 3. You can include SFOs or essential questions on the front pages of unit/ course syllabi: a. As checklists for the kids b. As communication to parents/ students/ yourself as per the goals of the unit of study. Sharing Outcomes

  16. 4. You can use SFOs/essential questions as references on unit tests/ quizzes to guide the students through the exam - each question or set of questions on the exam can be prefaced with the outcomes that have been taught.  Sharing Outcomes

  17. 5. Use SFOs/Essential Questions on exit slips that go home at night.  Use an outcome covered in class, and stated in student friendly language, and have the child communicate with their caregiver about how they have achieved the outcome (or how they are working towards it). Sharing Outcomes

  18. 6. Use SFOs/Essential questions as a peer assessment conversation starter.  For example, each student selects an “I can” statement from a lesson, or a day, and uses this to talk about IF they, and HOW they, have met the outcome. Sharing Outcomes

  19. 7. At the start of a lesson, use a think-pair-share to clarify what the “I can” statement means with a partner and what evidence might look like. Sharing Outcomes

  20. 3 things to keep in mind … • How are you sharing outcomes with students? • How will you share outcomes with paretns? Lesson Plans

  22. Reporting and Grading • Consider the grading data. Changes in teaching and learning require changes to our assessment practices.

  23. What does your school report card like? • Percentages? Outcomes-based? Grading Scale? Met not met? • What evidence do you have to collect? • When do your report cards go out? • Do you administrators preview report cards before they go out? • What are the expectations around parent/teacher interviews? • How will you communicate with parents & students in between reporting periods? • How does PowerSchool influence & aide communication to parents? Communication Take-Aways
