1. Assessment serves different purposes at different times: it may be used to find out what students already know and can do; it may be used to help students improve their learning; or it may be used to let students, and their parents, know how much they have learned within a prescribed period of time.
2. Assessment must be planned and purposeful. Planning must ensure that assessment is aligned with curriculum, instruction, grading, and reporting.

Never collect information you are not going to use. Ask focused pre-assessment questions that will reveal student’s readiness, interests and learning preferences as they relate to the unit’s goals.

Group together all pre-assessment questions or activities about a particular understanding or skill. This will allow you to easily and quickly work with preassessment results when you are planning.

Provide students with a checklist of your expectations for their summative work. Require that they or a peer check their work against the list before submitting it for grading.

Supplemental Learning Assessment Quick Reference Guide
Only Sharing Permitted
CC BY-NC-ND
Rating
0.0 stars

We have put together a Supplemental Learning Assessment Quick Reference Guide to help teachers address questions regarding the assessment process moving forward.

We have included many of the RPT guidelines as well as some of our own details to help clarify questions that may arise.

We have also included a research based article from the Canadian Assessment for Learning Network (CAfLN) that really explains assessment practices in a clear and concise way. The CAfLN document aligns very nicely with our Pre-K to 9 guidelines. We have had clearer responses to the 10-12 assessment questions from the RPT however, they do align fairly well with the philosophy behind the CAfLN document (different wording, etc.).
