ASSESSMENTS AS LEARNING

IPSATIVE ASSESSMENT

How? portfolios, PBL activites, and 2 stage testing

What is it?

Ipsative assessments are on an individual level, they are second tries, comparing previous work of the student to past results. As you would measure someone skills with sports or music.

WHY? This gives teachers a chance to measure progress over a year verse test by test situations. Instead, this will show the student's growth and progress. This allows the student a chance to be better than themselves rather than focusing on the others around him.

Examples would be allowing for retests, make-ups, using previous writing samples from the beginning of the year and again at the end to show growth.
