EDEL 335: ASSESSMENT INDICATORSBringing SS Curriculum Outcomes to Life

How will I recognize what students have learned?

How will students show what they know?

What tool will you use to assess student understanding?

How Will We Know That Learning Has Occurred?

The Critical Role of Criteria Learner Outcome (from the POS)1.1.5. Distinguish geographic

features in their own community from other communities by exploring and reflecting upon the following questions for inquiry:

• What are some familiar landmarks and places in my community?

Unpacking Outcomes

What will the students do to show they understand?

Students will: • identify a landmarkWhat would a high quality piece of work

look like?Students will:• represents an appropriate landmark in

the community

Let’s try again…

Learner Outcome (1.1.5.2):Why are these landmarks and places significant features of

the community?

What will the students do to show they understand?Students will: • explain the importance to the community

What would a high quality piece of work look like?Students will:• creates a caption that specifically explains why the

landmark is important

You Try…

2.2.7 Students will examine how the community being studied has changed, by exploring and reflecting upon the following questions for inquiry:

• In what ways has our community changed over time (e.g., changes in transportation, land use)?

How would you unpack this outcome?What will the students do to show

they understand 2.2.7.1?

Observable? Measurable?

Students will:+ identify a change that has

occurred in their life+ identify changes in the community

over time

What would a high quality piece of student work ‘look like’?

Assessment Indicator AssignmentFor Part One For this two part assignment you will take your group's Curriculum Cluster outcomes and using the Grade 5.3 example (previous slide) as a guide, create assessment indicators for your unit cluster. You will:+ develop clear indicators of student learning (What will students do to show they understand the outcome?), + possible tasks that the students will perform (How will students show what they know?) and + the assessment tool you will use to evaluate their understanding (How will you evaluate what they know (formative and summative)?) Ex: checklist, rubric, rating scale, anecdotal records, exit cards etc).

+ The rough draft of this assignment is an individual assignment+ You do not need to create the assessment tools identified in the third column of the assignment template. + You do not need to include Skills/Processes in this assignment

Remember: the indicators must be observable and measureable (ex: "The student will understand" is not observable or measurable).

You will upload the rough draft of this assignment to the Moodle by February 28 (Section 200) or February 29 (Section 201).

PART TWOI will provide informal feedback on your rough draft and hand it back for Part 2.You and your partner will take the feedback and create a final draft (a group submission) to be uploaded to the Moodle on March 13 (Section 200) and March 14 (Section 201).
