  2. Effective Assessment for Student Engagement – What is the target? • Syllabus links and clear outcomes. Fewer not more for a deep understanding • Inclusive of all students • Clear instructions • Balanced, comprehensive, varied • Fair, inclusive, valid, reliable • Ongoing, sequential • Challenging tasks fostering a deep understanding and inviting risk taking • Student centred • Supported by models, scaffolds and exemplar samples • Reflects adjustments to teaching and learning

  3. Getting Started What is assessment? What do you think of the statement ‘we should be assessing more not less’ ? (Wiggins)

  4. Standardised Testing vs Authentic Assessment • Reduces children’s rich and complex lives to a collection of scores, percentiles and grades • Creates stresses that negatively affect a child’s performance • Pressures teachers to narrow their curriculum to only what is tested on the exam • Gives the teacher a felt sense of the child’s unique experience as a learner • Provides interesting, active, lively and exciting experiences • Allows teachers to develop meaningful curricula and assess within the context of that program Armstrong, T. (2009). Multiple Intelligences in the Classroom. ASCD. Alexandria.,Vancouver.

What is a worthy intellectual task? What are some types of authentic assessment? Wiggins, G. (1990). Retrieved June 15, 2010 from www.pareonline.net (2) Wiggins, G.
