Module 1: 21st Century Learning

Lesson 3: 21st Century Assessment Practices
Activity 1: The Role of Formative Assessment Estimated Time: 10 minutes How does formative assessment benefit your classroom? What kinds of changes would you need to make in your assessment practices to include more formative assessment? Formative assessment provides information needed to adjust teaching and learning while they are still happening. It also serves as practice for the student and a check for understanding during the learning process. Formative assessment guides teacher in making decisions about future instructions. With these benefits, I would like to add more such as : questioning, learning/response logs, peer/self-assessment, practice presentation, kinesthetic assessment and observations; in order to know how well the students learn in the discussion and to know how they will apply it.

Module 1: 21st Century Learning

Lesson 4: Module Review
Activity 1: Module Summary Estimated Time: 10 minutes Based on your understanding of assessment, what assessment goals would you like to set for yourself during this course, month, or school year? Write your goals. Some examples include: Choose 21st century skills to focus on during a particular unit or project Use formative assessment strategies in my classroom Add 21st century skills to my rubrics Use additional assessment instruments to assess Have students assess themselves and their peers Distribute rubrics before and during the project Use journals and/or observations to assess

My assessment goals: -use formative assessment strategies in my classroom -add 21st century skills to my rubrics -use additional assessment instruments to assess -have students assess themselves and their peers

Module 2: Assessment Strategies

Lesson 3: Focus on Rubrics
Activity 3: Rubric Development Estimated Time: 10 minutes Reflect on your current use of rubrics in your classroom. How might you use rubrics in new or different ways to improve your students learning? Before rubrics only serves as one of the guidelines on what to do. But as what I have noticed or observed, rubrics played a great role in order to achieve a successful output. Because of that, want to have a change in my rubrics. I want it to be more organized but not to easy to achieved, in order for the students to be challenged and to show how creative they are.

Module 2: Assessment Strategies

Lesson 4: The Assessing Projects Library
Activity 2: Assessing Projects Application Estimated Time: 20 minutes Explore the rubrics shown in the table or in the Assessing Projects library. Select and save at least one product or performance rubric and at least one 21st Century skill rubric to your Course Folder or to your Personal Library if using Assessing Projects. Describe how and when you would use each assessment. Product or Performance Rubric name: Speech Choir How I will use the rubric: I will use as a sets of scoring guidelines that can be used to provide consistency in evaluating student work. 21st Century Skill Rubric: Learning and Innovation How I will use the rubric: Ill use it authentically to monitor a student's learning process and develop and revise a lesson plan. They provide a way for a student and a teacher to measure

the quality of a body of work.

Module 2: Assessment Strategies

Lesson 5: Module Review
Activity 1: Module Summary Estimated Time: 10 minutes Reflect on your learning in this module. I saw various types or styles in making a rubric. With that, it helps me in designing my own rubric that will help me in attaining better outcome, especially when Im going to have an activity that will use a rubric in the class.

Module 3: Assessment Methods

Lesson 1: Assessment and Instruction
Activity 2: Instructional Activities as Assessment Estimated Time: 20 minutes Describe how you might integrate assessment methods as part of classroom activities. Graphic Organizers

Graphic organizers integrate text and visual images, learners are having more whole-brain experiences. Journals and Learning Logs

Journal writing as an instructional or learning tool believed what he called an intensive journal process could draw each persons life toward wholeness at its own tempo. It systematically evokes and strengthens the inner capacities of persons by working from a non-medical vantage point and proceeding without analytic or diagnostic categories. Discussions

There are a variety of ways to stimulate discussion. For example, some faculty begin a lesson with a whole group discussion to refresh students memories about the assigned reading(s). Other faculty find it helpful to have students list critical points or emerging issues, or generate a set of questions stemming from the assigned reading(s). These strategies can also be used to help focus large and small group discussions.

Products and Performances

Using this information, you can give feedback on a student's performance either in the form of a narrative report or a grade. There are several different ways to record the results of performance-based assessments (Airasian,1991; Stiggins,1994): -Checklist Approach When you use this, you only have to indicate whether or not certain elements are present in the performances. -Narrative/Anecdotal Approach When teachers use this, they will write narrative reports of what was done during each of the performances. From these reports, teachers can determine how well their students met their standards. -Rating Scale Approach When teachers use this, they indicate to what degree the standards were met. Usually, teachers will use a numerical scale. For instance, one teacher may rate each criterion on a scale of one to five with one meaning "skill barely present" and five meaning "skill extremely well executed." -Memory Approach When teachers use this, they observe the students performing the tasks without taking any notes. They use the information from their memory to determine whether or not the students were successful.

Module 3: Assessment Methods

Lesson 3: Classroom Conferences
Activity 3: Example Conferences Estimated Time: 20 minutes Describe how you might include each assessment method in your classroom. Observation

Observation will serve as an informal assessment that obtains information that can be used to make judgments about childrens learning behavior and characteristics or programs using means other than standardized instruments. Peer Assessment

Peer assessment develops students responsibility in giving their own assessment to their peer. It also enhances their creativity and self-discipline. Self-Assessment

Teachers often use preformed to encourage students to reflect on their learning experience. While these are convenient and provide a record of student thinking, they can become an activity devoid of any real thinking. Oral reflection, whether as a whole class or group within the class, might sometimes be more useful.

Alternatively, teachers could devote some time to questioning students about what they have recorded on their preformed and asking them for explanations. Student-Teacher Conferences

Student-teacher conference enhances the students confidence in class and to make them feel that they are not alone.
