How do I assess student learning?
Student learning can be assessed in many ways from checklists, rubrics, formative assessments, teacher observations, etc. I feel very comfortable using rubrics and formative assessments because of their specific feedback. I am going to strive to use checklists more often to expand my teaching "toolkit."
How do I involve students in the assessment process?
Allow students to become involved in creating rubrics, checklists, test questions, etc. Students can also self-assess and peer assess to expand their involvement.

I also discovered the importance of checklists during this class when I went through it. They are very valuable for keeping kids on track and are easy to track. I'm glad that you are going to use them too.
ReplyDeleteHaving students take part in the assessment's creation can help them to "buy in" to the process. If they have taken an active role in deciding what is fair a what is expected they are far more like to not only understand the how and why that they are being assessed, but also to clearly understand what is expected in their own language.
