Conversations, Observations, Projects & Summative

Overall expectation-based assessment and evaluation practices should be used to inform responsive teaching by considering conversations, observations, and final products.

BENEFITS OF USING CONVERSATION AND OBSERVATION TO ASSESS STUDENT LEARNING

Many of the essential skills that we teach can only be assessed appropriately by either talking to students or observing them as they demonstrate their learning. Learn more here.

Many students struggle with written communication, if we rely on it as our primary method of assessment, we run the risk of drawing erroneous conclusions about student learning. -D. Cooper

Take time to reflect

Have you checked off each of the overall expectations at least once?
If not, which ones are missing? What needs to be added?
Have you provided multiple opportunities for each overall expectation?
How can you build your assessments to ensure students have more than one chance to provide evidence of their learning on a particular ‘Overall Expectation’?
Have you checked off each of the achievement chart categories at least once?
If not, which ones are missing? How could you modify/amend your tests/tasks to incorporate them all? Alternatively, what sort of test/task could you add in order to touch on those that have been missed?
