A Teacher's Guide to Classroom Assessment
Chapter 4: Understanding and Selecting Assessment Methods
"Constructed response assessments methods involve real world skills and are interdisciplinary in that they can be used for assessment purposes in all subjects." (46)
Gathering Evidence
Questioning: "through acute questioning techniques, a teacher can assess what students know or are able to do." (50)
Teacher Student Dialogue: can reveal depth of knowledge
Teacher Observations: formal or informal
Table 4.2
is a great visualization of the methods of gathering evidence.
"Triangulation": I never though about a varied approach to assessment in this way. It makes sense to me.
Simple Product Assessments:
Graphs
Tables
Flowcharts
Venn diagrams
Webs
Concept map
Performance Assessments:
Oral presentations, demonstrations, debates, panel discussions, video/audio tapes.
These types of assessments would take a very long time to see all the way through.
Chapter 5: Written Product, Portfolio, and Project Assessments
Portfolios
Similar to notebooks but do not contain all of the student's work.
1) Best work 2) memorabilia 3) growth 4) skills 5) assessments, proficiency, or promotion portfolios
If you're going to have the students create a portfolio, there should be a driving purpose behind it
Projects
Written and performance pieces to demonstrate mastery
It is the teacher's job to minimize project pitfalls and to maximize the learning
Logs, Journals, and Notebooks
Journals provide a record of progression of events.
Notebooks: I tend to use these in class as an organizational tool and do "notebook" checks every unit.
Logs are more translatable to numbers and data, but can be used for understanding reading
