Assessment & Evaluation Growing Success: Improving Student - PowerPoint PPT Presentation

Growing Success: Improving Student Learning through Assessment Assessment & Evaluation

Growing Success: Improving Student Learning through Assessment Assessment in HPE • Assessment, Planning and Instruction Cycle - Planning Model This approach encourages teachers to ‘plan with the end in mind’, linking assessment and evaluation practices to instructional strategies.

Growing Success: Improving Student Learning through Assessment To maximize learning, assessment and instruction must be planned around a clearly defined learning goal for students. Once this learning goal is identified, then determine what the student will have to do to demonstrate they have successfully completed the learning. Only then can the method of instruction for how the student should be taught in order to learn the concept be established.

Growing Success: Improving Student Learning through Assessment The Assessment, Planning and Instruction Cycle involves the following steps: •Select applicable curriculum expectations •Assess before learning •Plan and implement instructional strategies and activities •Assess during learning •Adapt or adjust the instruction •Assess after learning.

Growing Success: Improving Student Learning through Assessment Consider using the following outline to support the Assessment, Planning and Instruction Cycle to plan each unit: Curriculum: What will the students learn? Summary: What do I want students to learn by the end of the unit?

Growing Success: Improving Student Learning through Assessment Overall Expectations: Refer to the Health & Physical Education curriculum document for expectations that need to be addressed. Use professional judgment to determine which specific expectations should be used to bring the overall expectations to life. Identify the broad ideas associated with the overall expectations.

Growing Success: Improving Student Learning through Assessment Assessments and Evaluation: How will I know what students’ have learned? Assessment of learning Assessment for learning Assessment as learning

Growing Success: Improving Student Learning through Assessment How can we create a school community where all are independent learners?

Growing Success: Improving Student Learning through Assessment Cha nging the Relationship The goal of assessment for learning and as learning is to improve learning and to develop independent learners.

Growing Success: Improving Student Learning through Assessment We are learning to: • Develop a common understanding of the language of assessment • Identify and describe the practices of AfL and AaL, and how they work together to help students to become independent learners • Identify what effective implementation of AfL and AaL looks like in the classroom and in the school

Growing Success: Improving Student Learning through Assessment Common Understanding What are: Assessment for learning Assessment as Learning Assessment of Learning

Growing Success: Improving Student Learning through Assessment ACTIVITY 1 Watch the clip from the Webcast “ Rethinking Classroom Assessment with Purpose in Mind”. Dr. Lorna Earl

Growing Success: Improving Student Learning through Assessment ACTIVITY • Read each statement on your place mat and with a partner decide whether it represents AfL, AaL or AoL • Compare your responses with a different group. Where are they the same? Where are they different? • Share your thinking with the entire group.

Growing Success: Improving Student Learning through Assessment ACTIVITY Assessment For Assessment As Assessment Of Learning Learning Learning Who is the active partner? What is the information used for ?

Growing Success: Improving Student Learning through Assessment Assessment For Assessment As Assessment Of Learning Learning Learning � By student � By teacher � By teachers � To determine what � To determine what � To determine to do next to do next in my student’s level of instructionally learning (e.g. strategy, achievement of overall (strategies, focus) expectations at a differentiation) given point in time � To provide � To provide � As evidence to descriptive feedback descriptive feedback to peers and self (peer support professional to students (what and self assessment) judgment they are doing well, � Goal is to become what needs reflective, self ‐ improvement and monitoring learner GS p. 31 how to improve)

Growing Success: Improving Student Learning through Assessment We are learning to: Identify and describe the practices of AfL and AaL, that help students become independent learners.

Growing Success: Improving Student Learning through Assessment Learning Goals Success Criteria Descriptive Feedback Peer ‐ and Self ‐ Assessment Individual Goal Setting

Growing Success: Improving Student Learning through Assessment Assessment for Learning and Assessment as Learning Which practices form the cornerstone on which AfL and AaL are built?

Growing Success: Improving Student Learning through Assessment Planning with the End in Mind What are students Learning Goals expected to learn ? Overall and Specific Expectations Success Criteria Conversations How will students Observations demonstrate their learning ? Products Descriptive Feedback Instructional + How will we design Peer & Self ‐ Assessment the learning so all will Assessment learn ? Strategies Goal Setting

Growing Success: Improving Student Learning through Assessment ACTIVITY Co-creating the Success Criteria •View the video on teaching the volleyball pass •With a partner share the success criteria that the student must demonstrate to complete this skill properly •Share your success criteria with another group •Share with the entire group

Growing Success: Improving Student Learning through Assessment Setting the Stage for Learning In the classroom , learners: • Know what they are learning • Define and apply success criteria • Give and receive feedback • Support learning through peer ‐ assessment • Monitor their learning through self ‐ assessment • Set individual goals • Engage in strategic questioning and learning conversations • Engage in critical and creative thinking
