Module 3: Assessment: What help does each student need?
Moving from Global to Specific Assess to find out specifically where a child is having problems
The difference between a formative and a summative assessment has also been described as the difference between a physical and an autopsy. Professional learning communities Prefer physicals to autopsies. Dufour, et al, 2004
Types of Assessment • Universal Screening • Diagnostic testing • Progress monitoring • Outcomes
Universal screening • At least 3 times a year • Across multiple grades • Established cut scores • Scores determine which child needs assistance • Fluidity based on screening
Activity 1 What is your universal screening?
Diagnostic Assessments • Assist with drill down • Determines what assistance each child needs. • May be class wide or individual • Many different types • Looks for assessments that are • Valid • Reliable • High level of fidelity
What is the problem? Why is it happening? Did it work? What should be done about it? Problem-Solving Method/Drill down
Activity 2 What types of diagnostic assessments do you use?
Progress monitoring • More frequent • Keep it simple • Do it with fidelity • Chart the progress
SMART Goals • S—specific, clearly stated, simple • M—measurable based on quantifiable data • A—Attainable and realistic • R—Related to student performance and achievement • T—Timebound
DATA??? • Baseline: Data before interventions are put in place • Aimline or goal: How much you want to achieve • Graph the data to determine whether or not progress is being made.
Progress Monitoring • Key features of effective formative evaluation systems • Student performance is measured frequently (e.g., once/week) and results in quantitative data • Progress is monitored toward an observable, measurable, and ambitious goal • Progress is graphed and viewed regularly • Data decision rules are used to evaluate the effectiveness of interventions and determine when modifications to interventions are needed
Activity 3 What do you use for progress monitoring?
Outcomes • Most common measure is state assessments • AYP
Activity 4 Reflection
Professional development • Needs • What type of professional development do we need? • Who is going to do it? • When are we going to do it? • Length of time needed • Follow-up/Accountability • Options
