TodayToday – A little review, some discussion on building common assessments (lingo), KRSP method to ready us for next week.

Next Week Next Week – Using the KRSP method to unpack our standards and make some usable common assessments.

2 Part Series…

(Not to worry…all of this will be on the blog for review.)

Clapping: An Exercise in Assessment

Rate the “Clap” on the basis of Volume, Appropriateness, and Originality.Each category will be given a mark in range of 1 to 4, and then averaged for a final score from each teacher.

Page 5: BUILDING COMMON ASSESSMENTS (What I learned in Denver…)

What if… the teachers shared with the student what they will be listening for in terms of volume, appropriateness, and originality—even providing examples of successful and unsuccessful claps in each category. The student is then given a few moments to plan, and then asked to explain the nature of the clap they are about to perform (e.g. the situation, their plans in terms of volume and originality, etc). The student performs the clap and then is asked to reflect on the entire “clapping experience.” The teachers provide the student with a leveled (consistent) mark for each category based on a rubric—and then provide the student with suggestions for “next steps” towards improvement.

Before the 5th Clapper Goes…

What Just Took Place?

Page 7: BUILDING COMMON ASSESSMENTS (What I learned in Denver…)

A common assessment is any assessment given by two or more instructors to collaboratively examine the results for:

• Shared learning• Instructional planning• Curriculum, instruction, and assessment

modifications

We’ve Heard a Lot about What They Are…

Page 8: BUILDING COMMON ASSESSMENTS (What I learned in Denver…)

•What do we want students to learn?•How do we know they’ve learned it?•How will we respond when they don’t?•How will we respond when they do?

We’ve Heard These Questions Quite a Bit:

But Have You Looked at Them Like This…?

Page 10: BUILDING COMMON ASSESSMENTS (What I learned in Denver…)
Page 11: BUILDING COMMON ASSESSMENTS (What I learned in Denver…)

Why Common Assessments? Efficient (share the load) Fair (common pacing) Effective monitoring (timely evidence) Informed Practice (Collaborative look at

evidence) Assessment literacy (tight on what we are

assessing as a department) Raised expectations Team capacity Collective Response…

Yeah, but I stand alone…

Specialists, Single Courses, Varied Curriculum within a department…

3 Options:

Whole School Effort

e.g. WritingVertical or Horizontal Alignment

Across Buildings or Districts

Crucial Distinction:

Assessment OFOF learning (summative)

…how much a student has learned up to this point…like a report card…

Assessment FORFOR learning (formative)

…compiling what students have done to inform us what to do next…daily quizzes…

What are Learning Targets?

How do they differ from objectives?
