Triangulating Assessment Data
Triangulating Assessment Data
Use ongoing, progressive rubrics to record student progress based on triangulated data, like observations and conversations.
(Sample template for Reasoning & Proving Rubric)
(Sample template for Number: B2)
Here's a great blog post by Damian Cooper called What is “Triangulation” in the Assessment Context?, which will help support our understanding of how we can assess as we move towards giving students messier and more real problems where the process of problem-solving is valued in addition to "the right answer."
Documenting Conversation & Observations - Spatial Sense E1.pdf
You can use Google Forms to quickly document evidence of learning during your conversations with and observations of your students. This PDF includes links to several Google Forms organized by strand. You'll need to copy and modify them to include your students' names.
Google Forms for Documenting Student Learning.pdf
Use Showbie to create Problem-Solving Portfolios where students can work on problems with increasing complexity as they master the concepts and monitor their progress.
