Initial Baseline Survey
1. To be assessment literate means that you know what assessments to use, what assessments should be used for. Some results can be used for grouping, future instruction development. Also knowing which assessments are no good and shouldn’t be used. How to use your assessments for student growth. Summative assessment is an assessment that is given after the completion of a unit to get students' understanding of the concept as a whole. Formative assessment is when you are assessing a student through a written document. This can be through a test or a quiz. I am not sure what the following concepts are referring to but If I had to assume reliability is how dependable the assessment is. Validity is how accurate the assessments are and fairness would be how the test is written.
2.I don’t know much about the cost of standardized testing but I do know that it cost schools thousands of dollars a year. Schools invest in different programs every year that are aligned with the state standards. I don’t know anything about norm-referenced but If I had to go based off of the word I would assume that it is test written based of the average student and criterion-
referenced varieties scale testing is based off criterias that are being met by students. Performance test would be more used informally and lesson to lesson. For formal observations I think it would be more used for furthering future lessons and deciding what to change when it
comes to lessons.
3.
Explain your understanding of the following:
Appropriate test preparation would be using systems that are preparing students
for how a test is written, how to pace and time themselves. Prep will be focusing on certain skill sets of a student. Inappropriate test prep would be teaching them techniques that aren’t being allowed on the test. Appropriate techniques would be timing them on problems, working in small groups, and lessons similar to the test. Test prep can be engaging by getting students to grade each other’s test, to come up and work out the question on the board with the class. You can reduce test anxiety by giving them similar questions like on the test, explain what the test is testing for, let them take water breaks.
4. Students with IEPS or 504 plans have progress monitoring to decide what students' next step is in their education plan. What they need to work on is what has progressed. If they have regressed in any areas. This monitoring decides what environment is best fit for themthg, if they need more time for work compared to other students. ROI refers to how they are progressing in all areas with the adjustments and services they are getting. Some students are stagnant, so sometimes there needs to be adjustments to how many times students are being served or smaller classroom settings. Dual discrepancy is when assessments decide that a certain attribute about a child may fall into two or more areas that a child needs assistance in.
5.
Grading practices are the way you grade as teacher , so what kind of homework
you give and how you may score it, the weight of each subject area. Do you allow make-
up assignments, extra credit for students who are behind. What your cheating policy is. Are assignments allowed to be re-done once turned in and completed. How are late assignments graded? Examples, feedback , and rubrics are all necessary for student understanding and quality work. Feedback is important for understanding errors and what corrections they need to make , and how to get the maximum points.
6.
Assessments and instruction go hand and hand, Knowing how to teach based on assessment is designed. How to write questions , how to ask questions. Knowing how long to give students for certain assessments.
