Teacher’s Role in Assessment FOR Learning

1. Identify the standard.2. Deconstruct it to enabling targets.3. Transform to student friendly version.4. Create accurate classroom assessments.5. Use with students to track growth.

Assessment Blueprint PlanA Formative Assessment Blueprint Plan for a cohesive set of lessons:• Learning Target aligned to a Common Core Standard• Type of Target (e.g., knowledge, reasoning, or skill)• Description of Lesson• Description of Assessment Aligned to Target (what data will

you collect that shows evidence of student learning)• Students’ Engaging in the Assessment Process

Homework from NovemberChoose one or two of the ideas below to imbed into your classroom practice for your unit in November. Reflect on how you structured the assessment ideas and how it impacted student learning. Be prepared to share this in December. (Approx. 2-3 paragraphs)

Assessment for Learning Using Assessment Blueprints• Differentiate subsequent instruction after giving a quiz or test, by

grouping students according to which learning targets they had trouble with.

• Share the blueprint with students at the outset to make the learning targets clearer.

• Share the blueprint with the students and ask them to identify where each day’s instruction fits.

• Share the blueprint with students and have them write practice test questions periodically for each cell, as a form of focused review.

Debriefing Homework from November

In triads: 1. Share Reflections• Switch papers.• Read quietly on your own.• Leave two to three comments on a post-it note.• When group is ready, make connections between

reflections.2. Share Assessment Blueprint• Share best thing that has happened as a result of your

Assessment Blueprint.
