  • peer or in a small group

      Conversations can help students solidify and internalize their thinking.
  • peer pressure
    • sjensen21
      sjensen21 on 17 Apr 19
       
      This is a very real issue. Students can feel pressure to elevate a friends grade out of a sense of loyalty.

      This may be difficult to determine especially early in a course.

      As in, using a rubric!
  • This is my preferred approach

      I agree. It seems more balanced.

  • Formative assessment is a process used by teachers and students during instruction that provides feedback to adjust ongoing teaching and learning to improve students’ achievement of intended instructional outcomes.

      Notice the definition does not say that formative assessments can't be graded. I am a proponent of grading formative assessments, but I have heard others say it should not be.
  • five attributes

      1. Learning Progressions 2. Learning Goals 3. Descriptive Feedback 4. Self- and Peer-Assessment 5. Collaboration
  • Descriptive Feedback:

      sjensen21 on 10 Apr 19
       
      This is by far the most important part of formative assessment for students. Teachers need to provide timely, informative feedback, so that students can learn from their mistakes.

  • Self- and Peer-Assessment

      Peer assessment is the most difficult for all parties involved. It is difficult for students to critique each other's work appropriately and it is difficult for students to receive feedback from peers. It is also difficult for teachers to model appropriate behaviors for peer assessment.

      Stultifying: stunts creativity so that students achieve only what is required. Empowering: clarifies for students and teachers what is expected.
  • no longer appropriate

      "no longer appropriate" is a bit over-stated. Students in Introductory Statistics still need to know these skills. I agree that we do need to focus more on developing statistical thinking, so more performance tasks (and assessment rubrics) are necessary.
  • features known to the student

      Sharing the rubric with students at the beginning of the task holds students accountable and gives transparency to the task expectations.

      This seems like a big time-waster to me.
  • Build a metarubric

      sjensen21 on 04 Apr 19
       
      This is a great checklist for evaluating our own rubrics that we have created.

  • Five keys to assessment quality
    • sjensen21
      sjensen21 on 28 Mar 19
       
      To summarize, the 5 keys to assessment quality are: 1. clear purpose 2. clear learning targets 3. sound assessment design 4. effective communication of results 5. student involvement in the assessment process
  • grouping the assessments
    • sjensen21
      sjensen21 on 28 Mar 19
       
      Grouping assessments into levels: ongoing classroom assessment (daily work/observation), periodic interim/benchmark assessment (weekly quizzes/ group work), and annual state/district standardized assessments. I would add summative unit assessments (tests/projects) here also.
  • cannot measure more complex learning targets at the heart of instruction

      Our school district is doing the ISASP this year for the first time. This is a computer based test based on the Iowa Core. I worry how these results will be used to evaluate student mastery of content specific standards. How much effort will students put into the test and are there too many distractors that will bias the results?

  • Bias can also creep into assessments and erode accurate results.

      On the new computer based standardized tests, ISASP, I worry that there will be skewed results, because this if the first time students have had to take a standardized test online.

  • Hierarchy shows the difference in significance between items
    • sjensen21
      sjensen21 on 22 Dec 14
       
      I find that a hierarchy can be very helpful in understanding how topics are related to one another.
  • Web design can be deceptively difficult

      I know it's difficult.  I have not been deceived!
  • if there is a gigantic arrow pointing at something, guess where the user will look?

      Good "point."  haha  But, seriously, it's obvious, but an important idea, especially for the visual learner.

      I never thought about White Space before I took this class, but I see where they are coming from.  Endless lines of text can be quite overwhelming.
  • Golden ratio

      I believe it was originally discovered by Fibonacci.  Just a little math trivia for you:-)
