2. Assessment & Curriculum Alignment Learning Objectives Teacher Perspective Learning Outcomes Teaching Activities To the teacher, assessment is at the end of the teaching-learning sequence of events, but to the student it is at the beginning. If the curriculum is reflected in the assessment, the teaching activities of the teacher and the learning activities of the learner are both directed towards the same goal. In preparing for the assessments, students will be learning the curriculum. Assessment Student Perspective Learning Activities Assessment Outcomes Source: Biggs, J. (2003).

3. Multi-purpose of Assessment School contexts Assessment AS Learning Current status: How are we doing? Establish what needs to be done to get them there Learning Assessment FOR Learning Assessment OF Learning Establish where learners are going Establish where learners are in their learning

4. Assessment For, As and Of Learning LEARNING Curriculum Goal Societal Contexts Questions asked: • What do we want students to achieve? • What are the links across subjects and year levels? • What are the links between cognitive & non-cognitive outcomes? • What information about learning and teaching will we get from the assessment? • Does the assessment system align with curriculum goal and school contexts? School contexts: • School culture • Student body • Teaching staff • Resource • Parents Assessment System Planning Assessment Implementation Questions asked: • How well are students doing? • Have they reached the goals? • How to min the gap? • What do students and teachers think and do to min the gap?

5. Assessment for Learning In Assessment for Learning, teachers use assessment as an investigable tool to find out as much as they can about what their students know and can do, and what confusions, preconceptions, or gaps they might have. The wide variety of information that teachers collect about students’ learning processes provides the basis for determining what they need to do next to move student learning forward. It provides the basis for providing descriptive feedback for students and deciding on groupings, instructional strategies, and resources. Manitoba Education, Citizenship and Youth. (2006). Rethinking Classroom Assessment with Purpose in Mind, p. 29.

6. Assessment for Learning Teachers also use assessment for learning to enhance students’ motivation and commitment to learning. When teachers commit to learning as the focus of assessment, they change the classroom culture to one of student success. Manitoba Education, Citizenship and Youth. (2006). Rethinking Classroom Assessment with Purpose in Mind, p. 30.

7. Teachers’ Role in AforL Assessment for learning occurs throughout the learning process. It is interactive, with teachers: • aligning instruction • identifying particular learning needs of students or groups • selecting and adapting materials and resources • creating differentiated teaching strategies and learning opportunities for helping individual students move forward in their learning • providing immediate feedback and direction to students

19. 分析：進步/退步

20. 5個級別 顯著退步 顯著進步 平穩區域 退 步 進 步 分數 退步線 顯著退步線 進步線 顯著進步線 預期成績

21. 跟進工作 關心學生情況，尤其是對於退步學生更加重要 了解學生進步原因，並給予適當的鼓勵 檢討教學策略

22. 其他跟進工作 分組學習，同儕互助 • 在測考後，我們會安排「能力提升班」給所有同學； • 同學需按成績分組，每組均有能力較佳及能力稍遜的同學； • 同儕互助，合作完成指定題目； • 對於能力較好的同學，藉著教導別人 達到學習反思，進一步鞏固數學概念； • 能力稍遜的同學可以藉著提問、互相討論、研習等重溫課文概念。
