Session 55: Creating Your Assessment Approach for Units 1-3

50 minutes

Purpose

This session takes things from the “theoretical” to the “real-world” of assessment. Participants will decide what they will use for summative assessment with students in Units 1-3. Then, they will share their ideas with other participants and plan how they will us formative assessment and re-learning/redos/retakes during the year.

Objectives

  • Participants have a plan for how they will use summative assessment, formative assessment, and potentially “re-dos” in Units 1-3.

Facilitation Guide

Creating your approach (50 minutes)

Facilitator Tip

It might be helpful to suggest planning by unit (answering the three questions for Unit 1, then for Unit 2, and so on), but other participants may want to focus on one question at a time and answer it for all three units first.

(20 minutes) Identifying Your Summative Assessment Approach

Have participants turn to Part C in their Assessment Approach Organizer. Direct participants to work on Questions 1-3 for the next 20 minutes with the values they discussed earlier in mind as well as district/school requirements for assessment.

(5 minutes) Re-group

Remarks

Now that you have started to take your values and organize your assessment approach around those values, share your plan with two other people not at your table. Look for commonalities between your approaches.

(15 minutes) Finish the Assessment Approach Organizer

Give participants time reminders as they go to keep participants on task. It is okay if participants do not finish the whole organizer, but encourage them to develop a clear plan for at least one unit so that they can go back on their own time and finish the other units.

(10 minutes) Share-out

Now that you have had some time to discuss your approach with each other, let’s bring it to the whole room.

Prompt: What is one new approach you are planning to take with formative or summative assessment this year in CSP?
