Assessment and Evaluation
In her blog, Laura Wheeler outlines an approach to assessment that is based on Overall Expectations (OEs) rather than unit topic that is more traditional. Assessments can be organized by OEs and achievement then recorded according to these OEs.She describes software (or a "paper version") of how this data can be recorded so that students' achievement is organized by OE rather than units or KICA.
ADVANTAGES
QUESTIONS
students' areas of confusion or improvement are more easily identified by the data
students' demonstration of OEs that are assessed multiple times can be tracked visually
teachers gain a sense of "most recent" and "most consistent" achievement
how are conversations/observations recorded in addition to products?
how is a final "mark" calculated/determined?
Jon Orr describes a system where he tracks student achievement according to learning goals outlined for the course. Each student has access to a spreadsheet with his/her records, and a mark is determined for each learning goal. Marks can be replaced with more recent assessments, and students can achieve mastery (and badges) once they have achieved a certain level.This system uses Google Sheets and can be complicated to set up. Pre-populated formulas make the process, once started, automatic.
ADVANTAGES
QUESTIONS
students have access to their own data and can track their own progress
students have the opportunity to improve and receive "mastery" status on learning goals
how can student achievement be recorded for more than one assessment (i.e., without marks being replaced)?
how are conversations and observations recorded?
how is a final mark calculated/determined?
