Three ways of using Assessment Of learning For learning As learning Our aim is for assessment to improve learning not just measure it

Assessment of Learning occurs at the end of the learning unit assessment that is accompanied by a number or letter grade (summative) compares one student’s achievement with standards, predictions Results usually communicated to the student and parents Our aim is for assessment to improve learning not just measure it

Assessment for learning assessment can be based on a variety of information sources (e.g. portfolios, works in progress, teacher observation, conversation) verbal or written feedback to the student is primarily descriptive and emphasizes strengths, identifies challenges, and points to next steps in learning as teachers check on understanding they adjust their instruction to keep students on track grades or scores may not be given occurs throughout the learning process, from the outset of the course of study to the time of summative assessment Our aim is for assessment to improve learning not just measure it

Assessment as learning begins as students become aware of the goals of instruction and the criteria for performance involves self and peer assessment and feedback involves goal-setting, monitoring progress, and reflecting on results implies student ownership and responsibility for moving his or her thinking forward occurs throughout the learning process Our aim is for assessment to improve learning not just measure it

How do we use MidYIS? To identify students who need support To inform teaching and learning To identify trends for classes as a whole To highlight specific strengths and weaknesses To inform discussions with students when setting targets To track student progress To be able to celebrate achievement

Traditional Reporting Based on one formal communication per term Report or teacher/tutor consultation Different for each year group Different format for different purposes Reports will have an overall attainment grade Subject criteria Constructive energy Our aim is for assessment to improve learning not just measure it

Grading Overall Attainment Grade A* Excellent A Very good B Good C Satisfactory D Below satisfactory E Poor Specific Criteria Excellent Good Satisfactory Below satisfactory Poor Our aim is for assessment to improve learning not just measure it

Parent Consultation Provide an opportunity for parents to discuss the progress and learning of their children Provide opportunities for parents to further understand the work students are doing in class Provide opportunities for parents to understand how students are assessed. For example, with an example of a test or a piece of work with success criteria Result in an agreed understanding between the parent, teacher and student of the student’s current achievement and the outcomes to be achieved before the next meeting/report/term Conclude with an agreement on how the student’s future progress will be supported by the teacher, parents and student Our aim is for assessment to improve learning not just measure it
