  2. Teacher

  3. You Do Make a Difference • One year study with “most effective teacher” and the “least effective” teacher (~Kati Haycock) • Most effective teacher produces an achievement gain of 52 percentile points • Least effective teacher produces a gain of only 14 percentile points • Difference of 38 percentile points • Students gain about 6 percentile points in academic achievement simply from growing one year older and new knowledge/skills gained from daily life

  4. First Things First When we talk about assessment what are we actually assessing?

  5. Something Old… Two Types of Assessment • Formative • Summative “When the cook tastes the soup, that’s formative; when the guests taste the soup, that’s summative.” ~Robert Stake

  6. Something New…on Formative? “All those activities undertaken by teachers and/or by students which provide information to be used as feedback to modify the teaching and learning activities in which they engage.” ~Black and Wiliam

  7. Something New….on Formative • Should begin immediately within a learning episode and span its entire duration; frequency is key • Exist in different formats • Allow students to reflect on their own mastery of the standards • Allow students to evaluate their own progress of the standards • All/most/any do not have to be graded

  8. Something New…on Summative? “The purpose of summative assessment is to ‘sum up’ or describe what has been learned over time.” ~Doris Redfield, Ed Roeber, and Rick Stiggins

  9. Something New….on Summative • Usually occur at the end of the learning episode (independent lesson, whole unit, end of semester, or standardized assessments) • Exist in fewer formats • Not a tool for student reflection (too late) • Allow teachers, etc. to evaluate the students’ mastery of the standards • Most often expressed as a grade or score

  10. Formative vs. Summative Use the cards and stickers on your table to complete the below activity… • Create 3 categories for the assessment types. • Summative • Formative • Not sure • Categorize each item into one of these categories.
