Cons: -Stressful for students and teachers -Unfairly tests students -Causes teachers to "teach to the test" -Not all students can process material at the same rate, or can test fairly the same way

Pros: -Track student progress -Allows for efficiently targeted RTI -Can encourage well-rounded education

Benefits: -Develops communication skills -More inclusive (ex. students with Dyslexia) -Encourages critical thinking

Benefits: -Fosters self-monitoring and self-regulated learning -assists learning by motivation and understanding through engagement in the assessment process

Maximizing outputs with a minimum of inputs

Reliability

Fairness

Assessment - Purpose - Measurement - Interpretation - Use

Dynamic & On-going Assessment

- prior knowledge or learning?

Alternative Assessments (required the active construction of meaning) - performance assessment - portfolios - exhibitions - demonstrations - journals

Rubrics - provide clear targets and guidance - transparency of assessment - explicit criteria

Oral Assessments

Teacher Reflections

High quality assessments are practical and efficient

Colleague Collaboration - can assist in reducing bias

Student Self- Assessment

Instruction

"Walk to Academics" (Group similarly levelled learners together)

Planning

Pre-Assessment

Choosing topics students are interested in - a student's prior knowledge affects their learning and interpretation of new material

Backwards Design - forces a consideration of how performances (outcomes) will be achieved, measured and taught - places assessment up front and requires it to be planned prior to beginning learning activities

-Allows to identify Big Ideas and desired results -Determines appropriate evidence to collect -Creates concentrated and specific learning events

Standardized-Testing

Form over content - emphasis on deliverables and efficiency

Curricula Designs

Learner Centered Designs

Finland Schools - broad approach; no standardized testing - no drop out rate - individualization of teaching & learning - teachers given support and status within the education system

Indigenizing Curriculum - Experiential Learning, incorporating environment and the environment's story - restorative principles - practical application with classroom circles - knowledge sharing

Inquiry Based learning -Pose questions -Find resources -Interpret information -Interpret findings

Winnipeg Seven Oaks School Division - leveraging student voice - hearing - interacting - guiding

Problem Centered Designs

No Child Left Behind (United States) - based on conformity - focused on STEM disciplines - significant drop out rate in some areas of the US - role of the teacher is diminished or devalued -heavy direct instruction by teacher

Conceptions of Curriculum (Eisner & Vallance, 1974)

Technological - make learning systematic & efficient

Cognitive Processes - develop intellectual processes through subject matter

Academic Rationalism - academic disciplines - subject matter

Self-Actualized - needs & interests of learners

Social- Reconstructionist - prepare for change and reform society
