Funding
SSCD pays costs and
reimburses districts
for substitutes
(districts front
substitute costs).Don’t expect this.

NO CHILD LEFT BEHIND ACT OF 2001
PART A, SECTION 111, 3, C, xii
“Such tests shall produce student
interpretive and diagnostic
reports…that allow parents, teachers,
and principals to understand and
address the specific academic needs of
students…”
![Page 10: DonÕt Stress É ItÕs Time to Assess! · Social Studies Coalition of Delaware Lead Teacher Training DonÕt Stress É ItÕs Time to Assess! Sherry Kijowski Theresa Bennett February,](https://reader030.fdocuments.net/reader030/viewer/2022040407/5eaef047a8483f28292e1cb1/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
Good teachers already know so much about
their students that they could fill out the state
test booklet for them.
“I’m sure Maria can
do problems 1, 3,
and 4. But she will
struggle with 2 and
5 because she
hasn’t yet mastered
those skills yet.”
(Shepard, 2003)

1. Annual accountability
testing
2. Interim, short cycle or
benchmark testing
3. Ongoing, accurate
classroom assessments
that show “for learning”
![Page 12: DonÕt Stress É ItÕs Time to Assess! · Social Studies Coalition of Delaware Lead Teacher Training DonÕt Stress É ItÕs Time to Assess! Sherry Kijowski Theresa Bennett February,](https://reader030.fdocuments.net/reader030/viewer/2022040407/5eaef047a8483f28292e1cb1/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
Assessment “of Learning” vs. Assessment “for Learning”
Assessment “Of Learning”:
How much have the students
learned at this particular point in
time?
(Used to Verify Learning)
Assessment “For Learning”:
How can we use assessments
to help students learn more?
(Used to Support Learning)
![Page 13: DonÕt Stress É ItÕs Time to Assess! · Social Studies Coalition of Delaware Lead Teacher Training DonÕt Stress É ItÕs Time to Assess! Sherry Kijowski Theresa Bennett February,](https://reader030.fdocuments.net/reader030/viewer/2022040407/5eaef047a8483f28292e1cb1/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)

" Clarity regarding how
grades are assigned.
" Information about the
context; i.e. how does the
assessment represent
student learning?
" Input: communication
should not be one-way.

A key premise is that for students to be able to improve,they must have the capacity to monitor the quality of theirown work during actual production. This in turn requiresthat students:
• Know what high quality work looks like
• Be able to objectively compare their work to thestandard
•Have a store of tactics to make work better based on their observations
--Royce Sadler, 1989

Self assessment by pupils, farfrom being a luxury, is in fact anessential component offormative assessment.

Student SELFSELF-assessment is crucial for feedback
to be used effectively. Students are the ones
who must ultimately take action to bridge the gap
between where they are and where they are
heading.
The transition from feedback to self-monitoring
can occur only when the student comes to know
what constitutes quality.
--Sadler, 1989
![Page 59: DonÕt Stress É ItÕs Time to Assess! · Social Studies Coalition of Delaware Lead Teacher Training DonÕt Stress É ItÕs Time to Assess! Sherry Kijowski Theresa Bennett February,](https://reader030.fdocuments.net/reader030/viewer/2022040407/5eaef047a8483f28292e1cb1/html5/thumbnails/59.jpg)
The process of engaging in self-
assessment increases students’
COMMITMENT COMMITMENT to achieving
important educational goals.

Without clear targets,
(or, if we don’t know what
each item on a test
measures,)
we can’t…

We can’t do any of the
following…
• Know if the assessment adequately
covers and samples what we
taught.
• Correctly identify what students
know and don’t know and their level
of achievement.
• Plan next steps in instruction.

• Give detailed, descriptive feedback to
students.
• Have students self-assess or set
goals likely to help them learn more.
• Keep track of student learning target
by target or standard by standard.
• Complete a standards-based report
card.
