6. “Marking [grading] is usually conscientious but often fails to offer guidance on how work can be improved. In a significant minority of cases, marking [grading] reinforces under-achievement and under-expectation by being too generous or unfocused. Information about pupil performance received by the teacher is insufficiently used to inform subsequent work.” General Report on Secondary Schools, 1996- OFSTED CLASS Assessment PowerPoint 23 May 2011

7. What is the gap between current assessment practice and ideal assessment practice? Formative Assessment Versus Summative Assessment CLASS Assessment PowerPoint 23 May 2011

8. Formative Assessment Summative Assessment • Formative assessments describe ongoing classroom-based evaluations for improving student learning and informing instruction. • Activities may involve time spent inside or outside of the classroom such as teacher-made tests, curriculum-embedded tests, oral questioning, and other cognitive performance assessments. • Summative assessments are aimed at a final evaluation of a student’s mastery or understanding of information, skills, concepts, or processes. • Some examples may include state assessments, end-of-unit or chapter tests, end-of-term or semester tests, scores that are used for school accountability (AYP), and student reports.

15. RtI and Assessment • Screening • Diagnostic • Monitoring • Evaluation CLASS Assessment PowerPoint 23 May 2011

16. Benchmark/Screening Assessments Which of our students might possibly need some extra assistance in order to be successful academically? CLASS Assessment PowerPoint 23 May 2011

17. Benchmark/Screening Assessments • Evaluating the instructional needs of ALL students on a regular basis, looking for students who may need some additional help. • Ensuring that no student, “Falls between the cracks”- unwilling to write-off or ignore any student. CLASS Assessment PowerPoint 23 May 2011

18. Benchmark/Screening Assessments Examples: QPS (Quick Phonics Screener), TOWRE (Test of Word Reading Efficiency), Maze Assessment, DRA (Developmental Reading Assessment), Flynt-Cooter, DIBELS (Dynamic Indicators of Basic Early Literacy Skills) CLASS Assessment PowerPoint 23 May 2011

19. Diagnostic Assessments What are this student’s academic strengths and instructional needs? CLASS Assessment PowerPoint 23 May 2011

20. Diagnostic Assessments • Set of individually administered diagnostic assessments. • Not the same as assessments used by special educators, used to diagnose a disability. • Assists in designing instruction that builds on what the student already knows and immediately addresses any gaps. • Helps to provide specific information to plan effectively differentiated and appropriately focused instruction. CLASS Assessment PowerPoint 23 May 2011

21. Diagnostic Assessments Examples: DAR (Diagnostic Assessment of Reading), Gates MacGinite, QRI (Qualitative Reading Inventory), QPS, GRADE, SDRT (Stanford Diagnostic Reading Test), WRMT (Woodcock Reading Mastery Test) CLASS Assessment PowerPoint 23 May 2011

22. Progress Monitoring Assessments Is learning happening? CLASS Assessment PowerPoint 23 May 2011

23. Progress Monitoring Assessments • Implemented periodically throughout the year to measure instructional effectiveness • This is NOT simply watching a student move through a curriculum and appear to understand the content. • Waiting until the end of a school year or even a semester is too long a wait for information that determines what the student is actually learning. CLASS Assessment PowerPoint 23 May 2011

24. Progress Monitoring Assessment • Examples: Quizzes, chapter or unit tests, daily • observation of students’ performance on • assignments and daily work. May include • more frequent assessments, setting • performance goals, and graphing progress. CLASS Assessment PowerPoint 23 May 2011

25. Outcome/Evaluation Assessments Did our students make progress toward meeting the standards? CLASS Assessment PowerPoint 23 May 2011

26. Outcome/Evaluation Assessments • Results from these assessments are used for making decisions regarding school accountability and are available to parents and community members. • Often seen as more valuable to administrators and the public than they are at the classroom level. CLASS Assessment PowerPoint 23 May 2011

27. Outcome/Evaluation Assessments Examples: High-stakes assessments designed by individual states, starting in the elementary years and on into high school (ACTAPP, Benchmark assessments, EOC, ITBS, ACT and SAT.) CLASS Assessment PowerPoint 23 May 2011

29. Let’s Revisit… How do you know when a student gets it? What are you going to do when they don’t? CLASS Assessment PowerPoint 23 May 2011

30. “The student who is aware of how he or she learns is better able to set goals, develop a variety of learning strategies, and control and evaluate his or her own learning process. Alternatively, summative assessments, which evaluate student performance at the conclusion of the instructional period, have little or no influence on student learning.” Assessment For Learning, Stiggins CLASS Assessment PowerPoint 23 May 2011

31. Summative Assessment Activity “Communication about student achievement often relies on grades and report cards. Do our grades accurately reflect student learning?” Assessment For Learning, Stiggins CLASS Assessment PowerPoint 23 May 2011

32. Formative Assessment CLASS Assessment PowerPoint 23 May 2011

33. Three Guiding Questions in the Formative Assessment process- • Where am I going? • Where am I now? • What strategy or strategies can help me get to where I need to go? CLASS Assessment PowerPoint 23 May 2011

34. Research… “There is a firm body of evidence that formative assessment is an essential component of classroom work and that its development can raise standards of achievement. We know of no other way of raising standards for which such a strong prima facie case can be made.” Inside the Black Box: Raising Standards Through Classroom Assessment, William & Black CLASS Assessment PowerPoint 23 May 2011

35. “When teachers join forces with their students in the formative assessment process, their partnership generates powerful learning outcomes. Teachers become more effective, students become actively engaged, and they both become intentional learners.” Advancing Formative Assessment, Moss & Brookhart CLASS Assessment PowerPoint 23 May 2011

36. Six Elements of the Formative Assessment Process • Shared learning targets and criteria for success • Feedback that feeds forward • Student goal setting • Student self-assessment • Strategic teacher questioning • Student engagement in asking effective questions CLASS Assessment PowerPoint 23 May 2011

37. How does Formative Assessment Affect Student Learning and Achievement? Student Learning Teacher Quality CLASS Assessment PowerPoint 23 May 2011

Common Core Standards Through-Course 2 End- Of-Year START OF SCHOOL YEAR Assessment System Design: Distributed Summative Assessment END OF SCHOOL YEAR 25% 50% 75% 90% Through-Course 3 Through-Course 1 Through-Course 4 • Through-Course 3 and Through-Course 4 (ELA only): • ELA-3: Performance tasks that require evaluating information from within a set of digital resources, evaluating their quality, selecting sources, and composing an essay or research paper. • ELA-4 (speaking and listening): Students will present their work from ELA-3 to classmates and respond to questions. Teachers will score, using a standardized rubric, and can use results in determining students’ class grades. CLASS Assessment PowerPoint 23 May 2011
