Reporting Student Progress

Assessment is the process of gathering evidence of learning—integrated with the curriculum. Examples include:

social interchanges cooperative work written and oral responses creative work recreation activities in and out of school and interpersonal skills

Teachers assess for learning when they: Clear understanding of learning goals/outcomes Relate these understandings to their students Construct learning activities that yield rich assessment data Incorporate assessment information into descriptive feedback to increase

students’ understanding of the learning experience Adjust teaching, goals, objectives, approaches based on findings from

ongoing research Teach students to assess themselves to initiate some metacognitive

processes Develop students’ ability to articulate their current level of knowing

Suggestions for developing school wide strategies to develop and use assessment Workshops that build on teachers’ interests and

knowledge Team meeting where teachers/administration

discuss student learning and assessment Individual study, classroom practice, and reflection

What is Student Work? It is more than benchmarks, it is the foundation of growth toward standards. Significance is not determined by the size but by what it

represents. Worthy artifacts can show: Breakthroughs or “ahas”—skills or strategies that were

confused are now performed well. Solid demonstration of a target goal Unique insights Creative thinking Problem solving Connections made to self, others, texts, world

Diverse Populations require diverse work samples.
