Assessing and Evaluating Student Learning - Coggle Diagram
Assessing and Evaluating Student Learning
are essential components of teaching and
learning in English language arts
Basic Principles of
Assessment/Evaluation
The primary purpose of assessment and evaluation is to inform teaching and to promote and encourage learning
must be consistent with beliefs about
curriculum and classroom practices
involves the use of multiple sources of information collected in a variety of contexts.
learners are active partners in their own learning and in the evaluation
A Decision Making Process
Teachers make decisions according to their knowledge of students and how they learn

Observational Data
Anecdotal Records
Anecdotal records are short narrative descriptions of observations in the classroom.
Anecdotal comments should lead to interpretation and recognition of patterns of learning that emerge over time
Checklists
Checklists are most useful when they are designed or adapted by teachers around specific curriculum outcomes and the needs of their
own classes.
teachers should identify only important concepts, skills, and strategies when creating them.
Running Records
A running record is a strategy to assess reading in which the teacher listens to the student read orally and records what the child says and does. The running record is then analyzed for patterns of reading behaviour.
Procedure
The student is asked to read the text orally while the teacher tapes and/or records everything the student says and does
Analysing the Running Record
Teachers analyse the data they have recorded, looking for patterns in the cues the student makes use of, and the strategies he/she has in place
Work Samples
Combined with data gathered in other ways, cumulative dated samples of students’ work can yield significant information
about their development
Teachers often use the student portfolio as a way to keep and organize student work
Self-Evaluation
Reflection on their learning leads students
to gain increasing control over their learning and language processes.
Reporting the
Information
Traditionally, numerical marks, letter grades, or letter symbols have been used to report student progress; however, it is difficult to convey development in language learning through such grading systems alone
