  5. Last Year We did TeachingThis year we do something else………. Assessment is nothing new, but how we use assessment and the process of assessing do have differing affects on student learning!

  6. What have you learned? vs. How did you do?

  7. For a Grade After Learning Measurement of Achievement of Objective Identify the At Risk Students OF Learning For Continual Learning During Learning Process Involves Student Input Includes Teacher Feedback For Student Self Analysis FOR Learning ASSESSMENT

  8. Today we will address the following: • What is Assessment FOR Learning? • Why do we need to change focus from Assessment OF learning to FOR learning? • Plan: County-wide plan for 21st Century Assessment FOR Learning. • Samples of What Assessment FOR learning might look like in Marshall County.

  9. What is it?Five Keys to Assessment • Clear Purpose • Learning Targets • Sound Design • Effective Communication • Student Involvement.

  10. Keys to Quality Classroom Assessment Effectively Used Accurate Assessment Key 1: Clear Purpose What’s the purpose? Who will use the results? What will they use the results to do ? Key 5: Student Involvement Students are users, too Students need to understand targets, too Students can track progress and communicate, too Students can assess Key 4: EffectiveCommunication How manage information? How report? To whom? Key 3: Sound Design What method? Quality questions? Sampled how? Avoid bias how? Key 2: Clear Targets What are the learning targets? Are they clear? Are they appropriate?

  11. How Do We Involve Students in Assessment??

  12. Student Involvement • Kid Friendly Learning Targets with Selected CSOs • Identify Individual Strengths and Areas for Improvement • Self Analysis and Goal Setting • Many other possibilities – Anything that gets students to ask the right questions of themselves.

  13. Good Formal Assessment • Provide Understandable Learning Target • Use Models of Strong and Weak Work • Regular Descriptive Feedback • Student Self-Assessment and Goals • Design Lessons Focused on one aspect of quality at a time • Teach Student Focused Revision • Self-reflection and Monitoring

  14. Simple Questions Learners Must Ask • Where am I now? • Where do I need to be? • How do I get there?

  15. WHY DO WE NEED TO MAKE THIS SHIFT TO ASSESSMENT FOR LEARNING? YOU BE GEORGE!

  16. Typical Adult to Child Conversation • How was your day? • Fine • What did you learn in math? • Math • What did you do in math? • Math • AND……? • “Took a test” • How did you do? • “Got a C”

  17. “Why don’t you just leave me alone?” • Was it a difficult test? • “Yeah” • What will you do to improve? • “Pay more attention in math” • Do you like math? • “Its OK” • Are you a good math student? • I’m average • What is your math goal? • To get a “B”

  18. What Happens in the student when…. a summative assessment indicates he or she did not master an objective? • The Bigger, Redder, F, minus….. - • Immediate Judgment and a self analysis • Effort and Efficacy Issues • Behaviors and Acting Out • Self Defeating Spiral of Inability • Intervention Cycle

  19. Empowering Students • Formative assessment clear targets provide that student with a plan by showing increments rather than final judgment. • These targets become measurements to monitor progress. • They can become grade book entries.

  20. Link Assessment to 21st Century Framework Component #2

  21. _________COUNTY 21ST CENTURY ASSESSMENT PLANNING

  22. 2008-09 School Year • Establish Study Groups and Implement at School level • Establish Study Groups and Initiate School Assessment Procedures. • Learn CASL (Classroom Assessment FOR Student Learning) • Apply the following: • Keys to quality classroom assessment • Using team and resources • Further exploration of assessment distinctions • Clear Targets • Assessment Methods • Communicating Assessment Results

  23. County Assessment Team Implementation Team (Reps From Each School) Assessment Implementation Team Marshall County Teaming“Classroom Assessment FOR Student Learning” (CASL)
