Large Scale Assessments
Categories of Test Accommodations
How do we ensure fairness and validity for ALL students?
We can explain to students what fairness is and looks like, in that fair is different than equal or equitable
With this, being knowledgeable and informed about our student's needs, abilities, and capabilites will benefit us and the students. Do all students with IEP's need to be exempt from large scale assessments? It is dependent case by case
Assessment
for
learning
Is ongoing- before, and during learning. The Teacher assesses which gradually shifts to the student. This method is used for making instructional decisions, providing learners with feedback about learning and with motivational support.
Help students to understand what good work looks like.
Help students to assess their progress.
Help students to raise the quality of their work.
Assessment to differentiate learning
Rubrics
quantitative rubrics
describe how much understanding is demonstrated at different levels :
qualitative rubrics
describe the qualities that show learning at different levels
tied to learning outcomes
Fairness and Equity
Types of fairness
fairness of outcomes
do grades accurately reflect learning?
procedural fairness
Are students taught adequately for success?
Are expectations clear?
interactional fairness
are teachers neutral and impartial to all students?
is everyone treated with the same respect?
This refers to addressing every student's needs, not giving everyone the same things
Preparing students for classroom tests
Strategies
create a study guide
use practice tests
create study buddy opportunities
use webquests (online study materials)
look over previous tests and note errors
develop chunking strategies for information retention
concept maps (like this one!)
Adapting Classroom Tests
Strategies
record questions so students can listen to them
lower the reading level by using simpler words
supplement written instructions with spoken ones
enlarge the print
provide a checklist
allow additional time
Adapting Scoring
Of Assessments
Guided by the student's IEP
Portfolios of student work, assessments, and self assessments
Of Report Cards
Assign grades based on student improvement
Use alternatives to letter grades
Performance Assessments
Authentic Assessments
Not solely about outcome or product, but about the engagement, level of critical thinking and problem solving that goes into the product.
Performance on authentic, engaging, and important problems.
Performance on contextualized tasks
real problems that require more than formulaic solutions
tasks that demand students produce a quality product or performance
Allows us to assess without relying on reading and writing --> ELL, exceptional learners, and students with low literacy can now be assessed with differentiation
