Evidence of Understanding• Once we know what we are going to teach

(Stage 1) we need to avoid jumping to how to teach it (Stage 3).

• The focus of Stage 2 is determining what qualifies as evidence or proof that what we identified as most important in Stage 1.

Types of Assessments

• Quiz and Tests

• Academic Prompts

• Performance Tasks

• Informal Checks for Understanding

Formative Assessments“Assessments for learning”

• Carried out at the beginning or during a unit

• Provide the opportunity for immediate evidence of student learning

• Allows teachers to go back to a

particular concept and provide

add’l instruction or present

it in a different manner

Summative Assessments“Assessments of learning”

• Provides accountability through comprehensive assessment.

• Used to check the level of learning at the end of the unit

• Reflects the cumulative nature

of the learning that takes place

in reaching the unit goals and

objectives

G = What is the goal of the task? What is it designed to assess?

R = What real-world role will the student assume as he/she is performing the task?

A = Who is the audience for the task?

S = What is the situation that provides the context for the task?

P = What is the product, performance or purpose that is required by the task?

S = By what standards and criteria will the product, performance or purpose be judged?

The GRASPS of a Performance Task

Check for Alignment• Appropriate criteria highlight the most revealing and

important aspects of the work (given the goals), not just those parts of the work that are merely easy to see or score.

• The goal is to have at least one assessment per essential question.

Why???

Assessments• Select the formative and summative assessments that

will be used as evidence to show student understanding. Also,– include the technology applied (if any) for the

assessment – the NETS Students standard (if technology is applied)– Create rubrics for any performance assessments

• These assessments will be included in your final unit/lesson plan.
