PLAN, PLAN, PLAN To make assessment truly authentic
A LOT of planning is needed to carry out and grade the assessment.
A traditional lesson plan may be even more important when assessing an untraditional lesson.
Ask Yourself
What subject or topic is being assessed?
Does this align with the standards? What are the learning goals? What materials do I need? How will this guide my instruction? Can it accommodate different levels
of ability? Will I pre-assess?
Plan the Lesson
Title Topic/Concept Standards Goals/
Objectives Materials Anticipatory
Set Procedures Closure
•Teacher Notes:Include adaptations, extensions, and connections to other subjects.
Assess Learning
Use rubrics and checklists as a guide when evaluating student’s performance.
Ask yourself: What is outstanding? (4) What is good?
(3) What is acceptable? (2) & What is unacceptable? (1)
Use this information to create a scoring guide.
