Assessment: Diagnosis? Measurement? Feedback? Which One? When? How? St. Ignatius College Prep November 18, 2009

Mel Levine’s Five Forms of Higher Thinking Conceptual Thinking A collection of features that go together to create a category of ideas. eg compare socialism w capitalism (essential questions, concept mapping, stating it in your own words) Problem-Solving How to settle a disagreement. Systematic, planned, step-by-step process thinking. Tough to measure. Impulsive responders struggle w this. Critical Thinking Deciding which course is best. Not accepting things at face value. Step-by-step approach works. Takes practice. eg editorials Rule-Guided Thinking Changing a verb to past tense. “If...then...” process --must keep (or remember) rules. Many rules in math, English,... Creative Thinking Allows/ Requires thinking that is not constrained by many of the previous 4 categories’ guidelines. Composing a poem, a painting, etc

Be sure you’re assessing what you think you’re assessing…

Black & William, 1998 “Teachers’ feedback to pupils seems to serve social and managerial functions, often at the expense of learning functions.”

Standards Are a Start… The cornerstone of the school improvement movement was the adoption of content and performance standards as the means to ensure that all students receive a rigorous and relevant education.

…but standards alone are not enough “To bring about significant improvement in education, [educators must] translate standards into specific classroom experiences that facilitate student learning and ensure that classroom assessments effectively measure that learning.” --Thomas Guskey, 2005

Wiggins & McTighe’s Stage Two of Unit Design: Determine Acceptable Evidence of Learning Is Homework evidence of learning? Is Extra Credit evidence of learning? Is Work Submitted Late evidence of learning? Is Group Work evidence of learning?

Cizek’s (1995) study of teachers’ assessment practices in determining students’ grades revealed… 89% use academic achievement 52% use students’ ability. 43% used the performance of the entire class 42% considered effort 52% used attendance & class participation 61% used nonachievement factors like effort and teamwork.

How Do Assessments Get Translated into Grades? Traditional Grade-Book Categories… Quiz, Test, Lab, Paper, Presentation, Performance Grade-Book Categories Framed Essential Learnings: Key Knowledge and Skills Factual Knowledge, Reasoning, Writing (Technique), Critical Thinking, Conceptual Understanding, Oral Presentations
