Assessment

Assessment presentation: Our assessment beliefs emphasize reliability, validity, practicality, authenticity, and objectivity to ensure fair and meaningful evaluation of student learning. We designed a cognitive assessment focused on game strategies, rules, and decision-making, ensuring fairness and authenticity while aligning with learning standards. Data analysis from pre- and post-tests showed a positive impact on student learning, with an increase in class averages. Our grading system promotes a well-rounded PE experience, encouraging active participation, effort, and critical thinking. 

Assessment report: I conducted a TGMD-2 (Test of Gross Motor Development-2) assessment in the gym and a swim assessment in the pool to evaluate Maeve’s gross motor skills, coordination, balance, and water confidence. The assessment focused on observing her ability to walk, run, jump, balance, and interact with objects while also tracking her comfort level, movement patterns, and responsiveness to instructions in the water. Informal observation was used to assess her endurance, willingness to try new movements, and social interactions, helping to guide future activities that support her physical, cognitive, and social development.
