Unit Plan Assessment Analysis

Throughout the unit, students will complete a variety of assessments, both formative and summative, that will be collected to form a portfolio. Portfolios offer a collection of student activities, accomplishments and achievements to demonstrate growth over time, offering an alternative authentic assessment for students and teachers. Some students are not good test-takers and portfolios offer them an alternative to demonstrate mastery of content. Numerous work samples can show students moving from basic to advanced skills, demonstrating continued learning growth. Because assessment portfolios are individualized, students and teachers have the opportunity to choose the documents they want to include in the portfolio and to make decisions about how to improve the student's work. This will allow us to properly gather the students' understanding of the 6 dimensions of democratic citizenship.
