Assessment Mapping

12/7/2017

1 Comment

 
​For this activity we were asked to make a mind map of all of our knowledge relating to assessment, then after reading about assessment in PYP we were asked to change or adjust our mind map to reflect our new learning. Although I still like my first mind map, I made a new one that follows the PYP assessment vision. One of the main parts that I did not consider in my first attempt at the mind map was who assessment is for, teachers, students, admin, other teachers, parents, and the school community. Often assessment feels teacher and student heavy. In addition the PYP assessment seems to be observation focused which makes sense for the primary years. As a predominantly secondary teacher I am curious as to how this changes through the MYP and DP programs, my thoughts are that it becomes more student record/reflection based.  All in all I feel that I had the same idea of assessment as outlined in the PYP reading but with different connections and formatting.

Assessment as feedback
  • Objective – provide feedback on the learning process
  • Students should receive feedback “not as a reward or punishment but as information”
  • Reflect learning outcomes
  • Student and teacher self-assessment and reflection
  • Informs practice
  • Looking at what students know, understand, can do, and feel
  • Entire school community should be involved (students, teachers, parents, admin)
 
Assessment strategies and instruments
  • Rubrics
    • Set of criteria with descriptors
  • Exemplars
    • Sample of students’ work
    • One benchmark for each achievement level

    • Brief written notes based on observation
  • Checklists
    • Lists of information, data, attributes, elements
  • Anchor papers
  • Continuums
    • Visual representations of developmental stages of learning
    • Identify where a student is in a process
  • Portfolios of work
  • Standardized tests
 
Approach to assessment
  • Assess the process of inquiry

  • Teacher should record student initiated inquiry
  • Three areas of assessment
    • Assessing – how we discover what the students know and have learned
