Student Appraisal By Harvey Hoyo, Ed.D. National University- Costa Mesa Campus Course Custodian: CED607 (Unit IIB)
Purposes Of Assessment • Systematic way to obtain information about the students' problems, concerns, strengths, resources, and needs. • Foundation for goal-setting and planning: placement • Diagnostic assessment • Curriculum/program evaluation and accountability
Assessment Considerations for an individual • Always an ongoing process, changing as you learn more about the student. • Who is complaining or alarmed? Who thinks there is a problem? What is the person complaining about? • What is the person motivated for? What does he or she want? • What does the person do well? What assets does he/she have? (Find contexts of competence.) Skills, hobbies, sports, activities, avocations, life experiences, etc. • Any exceptions/previous solutions/times when situation was better • Best coping moments • What are the goals? How will we know when we are done? Get specific about the problem-free future.
