Stage 2: Assessment Evidence

Ongoing Formative Feedback for Students and Teachers

  • Assessment Tasks: Tests, tasks, or activities that provide students opportunities to demonstrate what they understand, know and are able to do, as well as receive feedback information for student improvement.
  • Assessment Evidence: A range of items that can be used to infer a student's level of understanding, knowledge, and skill (i.e., assessment tasks, student work, performances, observations, student reflection or journals, etc.)
  • Assessment Criteria: Descriptions of the achievement levels of a particular task or assignment that are derived from the desired results and validated by a review of a range of student work samples.

On your UbD template:

  • Performance Assessment- What authentic performance tasks will students demonstrate the desired learning?
  • Other Evidence- other formative and summative assessment?
  • Evaluation Criteria- measurable learning objective(s)

What is a Performance Assessment?

"A performance task is any learning activity or assessment that asks students to perform to demonstrate their knowledge, understanding and proficiency. Performance tasks yield a tangible product and/or performance that serves as evidence of learning. Unlike a selected-response item (e.g., multiple-choice or matching) that asks students to select from given alternatives, a performance task presents a situation that calls for learners to apply their learning in context.

Examples of Performance Tasks in the context of math from:

These tasks are grade-level formative performance assessment tasks with accompanying scoring rubrics and discussion of student work samples. They are aligned to the Common Core State Standards for Mathematics.

Explore these assessments to help you better understand how to develop performance assessments that align with the CCSS for math.

Performance Tasks From the UbD What are Rational Numbers UbD example- Stage 2

You are planning a BBQ for a specified number of people. Your task is to utilize your knowledge of rational numbers in order to buy the correct amount of food for your BBQ. Keep in mind what you don’t want to buy too much or too little food. It is your job to spend the least amount of money necessary for everyone to eat.

You will be provided with the following:

-The names of 3 grocery stores in which you will be allowed to shop at.

-A shopping list in which you will have to buy everything that is there (**Keep in mind you get to choose from where you purchase your items)

-A pricing list for each identical item from each store

-You will draw a card out of a box, which will specify the number that will be attending your BBQ, what they will eat at your BBQ, and what they will drink.

Requirements:

Include a paragraph explaining why you planned your BBQ the way in which you did and what you learned from completing this project.

-Make sure that you showed all of your work and that it is neatly organized on a spreadsheet or table.

-Keep in mind you will have to plan appropriately since there will be a discount given at 1 of the stores and some of your items will require you to think through what is cost effective.
