  • Portfolio assessment emphasizes evaluation of students' progress, processes, and performance over time

      Portfolio assessment is a great way for students to gain a better understanding of what they have learned and their progress over time. It's better than a 1 time snapshot test assessment. It's a great way for students to see that progress has been made.
  • Showing students examples of effective and ineffective pieces of work can help to make those definitions real and relevant

      I know that I benefit from seeing what is effective and what is not effective, so I am sure students are the same way. It helps me realize to what level I need to work and what is expected of me. Showing students good and not good examples can also help them review their orwn work better too.
  • Group work can be more successful when students are involved in developing the assessment process.

      When students are involved in their grading process they feel like they have a stake in it. When they feel like they have a part of it, they feel like they need to achieve higher in order to meet the stakes they have helped set. They can be very good, but not used all the time.

  • Specific, timely feedback should be based on the learning goal and criteria for success

      Specific and timely feedback should be given to all students in order for them to be successful. If students are not given feedback in a timely manner, then the feedback will do nothing to promote their learning.
  • Both self- and peer-assessment are important for providing students an opportunity to think meta-cognitively about their learning.

      Self assessment and peer assessment are important in order for students to think about their thinking and their learning. Peer assessment isn't always means to helping, but self assessment should always be a part of the assessment process.

  • “Perhaps the greatest potential value of classroom assessment is realized when we open the assessment process up and welcome students into that process as full partners”

      I think this is key. I as a student like to know what I am being graded on and I think it's important to share that with my students too. If the students know what they are being graded on, it will most likely help them to relax a little more.
  • In any case, withholding assessment tools (whether they are rubrics or more nebulous modes of evaluation) from students is not only unfair and makes self-assessment more difficult, it maintains the traditional gap between what the teacher knows and what the student knows.

      Holding back rubrics and the way teachers are grading from students is kind of like giving the "gotcha" at the end of the assignment. I know when I am not clear on my directions, I get 500 questions about it. When I am clear and students know what they will be graded on, it is better for both of us.

  • Be prepared to evaluate your rubric, using your meta-rubric and feedback—direct feedback from the students and indirect feedback from the quality of their work. Modify accordingly.

      Evaluation and reflection are key to good teaching. It should also be key to analyzing a rubric. If it's not working, make sure that it's redone and give it a try again. This should be an ongoing cycle.

      This was a key "a-ha" for me. I think that rubrics are over used. Not everything can or needs to be assessed via a rubric. The key question for teachers should be first "What am I assessing?" then "Will a rubric meet the needs of what I am assessing?" So many times a rubric is used and it doesn't match what needs to be assessed.

  • Using misinformation to triangulate on student needs defeats the purpose of bringing in more results to inform our decisions.

      We try to use so much information and I think it's important to use the RIGHT information when when comes to assessing. moodle_iowa
  • Effectively planning for the use of multiple measures means providing assessment balance throughout these three levels, meeting student, teacher, and district information needs.

      Effective planning starts with the teacher. Planning for the needs and assessments of all learners it where effective assessment can be powerful. If they teacher takes the time to plan the assessment, then his or her teaching will probably match that assessment. moodle_iowa

  • Demonstrates competence in planning, designing, and incorporating instructional strategies (ITS 3)

      I think it is most important for teachers to spend time planning and designing their instruction. It's key for learning for all. If teachers are not competent in planning, the student will see right through it.
  • Engages in professional growth (ITS 7) • Has experienced online learning from the perspective of a student (SREB F.1, Varvel II.E) • Networks with others involved in online education for the purpose of professional growth (SREB L.1, ITS 7.b) • Applies research, knowledge, and skills from professional growth to improve practice (SREB C.8, ITS 7.c) • Demonstrates growth in technology knowledge and skills in order to stay current with emerging technologies (SREB B.5)

      Online teachers should be constantly engaging in professional growth. It is important to be on the forefront of technology and learning.
