  2. Purpose of SIOP Assessment • To guide teaching and re-teaching • Inform decision making • Lead to supportive feedback • Provide for fair and comprehensive judgments about student performance • To make sure each student is understanding and comprehending the information being taught

  3. Content Objectives for Assessment • Select techniques for reviewing key content concepts • Incorporate a variety of assessment techniques into lessons • Describe the challenges in assessing the content learning of students with limited proficiency

  4. Language Objectives for Review and Assessment • Write a lesson plan that includes review of key vocabulary • Teach a lesson with group response techniques • Orally provide feedback to ELL students that enhance language development • Use oral, written, and physical means to provide specific feedback to students on their performance

  5. Assessment The gathering and synthesizing of information concerning a student’s learning that occurs throughout a lesson.

  6. Examples of Assessment • Thumbs Up/Thumbs Down (Y/N, T/F, A/D) • Pencils Up/Pencils Down (older) • Number Wheels • Dry-erase boards • Tests/Quizzes • Ask the group as a whole • In the end, assess with students holding up 1,2, or 3 with fingers: • 1- Did not understand the lesson • 2-Did not understand the lesson, but made some progress • 3-Fully understood the lesson

  7. What is the best way to assess English language learners? • Thumbs up/Thumbs Down • Number Wheels • Tests or Quizzes • Dry erase boards • There is not a “best” way to assess English language learners because each child is unique.

  8. Why are group response assessments effective? • Teachers can quickly determine how many students understand and comprehend the information. • It is obvious if students are having problems with language and content concepts. Remember: • Teachers need to be able to determine whether the problem is with the content or the lack of English proficiency. • Most of the time, they know the information, but language proficiency issues keep them from demonstrating their knowledge.

  10. Conclusion In conclusion, teachers need to be familiar with a student’s proficiency levels before and after lessons in order to determine student growth. Assessments help guide teaching and re-teaching and provide teachers with ways of knowing whether their instructional methods are effective in the classroom.
