Assessment
InstructionalStrategies
You Do Make a Difference One year study with “most effective
teacher” and the “least effective” teacher (~Kati Haycock)
Most effective teacher produces an achievement gain of 52 percentile points
Least effective teacher produces a gain of only 14 percentile points
Difference of 38 percentile pointsStudents gain about 6 percentile points in
academic achievement simply from growing one year older and new knowledge/skills gained from daily life
When we talk about assessment what are we actually assessing?
First Things First
Something Old…Two Types of Assessment
FormativeSummative
“When the cook tastes the soup, that’s formative; when the guests taste the soup,
that’s summative.” ~Robert Stake
Something New…on Formative?
“All those activities undertaken by teachers and/or by students which provide information to be used as
feedback to modify the teaching and learning activities in which they
engage.” ~Black and Wiliam
Something New….on Formative
Should begin immediately within a learning episode and span its entire duration; frequency is key
Exist in different formatsAllow students to reflect on their own
mastery of the standardsAllow students to evaluate their own
progress of the standardsAll/most/any do not have to be graded
Something New…on Summative?
“The purpose of summative assessment is to ‘sum up’ or
describe what has been learned over time.”
~Doris Redfield, Ed Roeber,and Rick Stiggins
Something New….on Summative
Usually occur at the end of the learning episode (independent lesson, whole unit, end of semester, or standardized assessments)
Exist in fewer formatsNot a tool for student reflection (too late)Allow teachers, etc. to evaluate the
students’ mastery of the standardsMost often expressed as a grade or score
