Assessment Instruments

 

What

tasks, strategies, instruments

How

the processes, how often?

Why

how do the selected tools support your learning goals and the learning principles guiding your design?

a) to enable continuous/frequent feedback between you and the students.

Observe-watch the expressions the students make.

Ask questions

Continually during discussion and demonstration Watching and listening to student responses allows you to see trouble spots before they occur.
b) to encourage the students to reflect on their learning progress and achievement.

Ask "How to" questions.

Ask them "Show me" questions.

At the end of demonstration but before individual practice. Do an example with them telling you "how to" using leading questions. The more you can get the students to interact the more their knowledge and self-control will grow.
c) to determine your students' learning progress and achievement

Observe the students during practice.

Notice anyone that is struggling or doing something incorrectly.

Continually throughout the practice session. Use the rubric to help determine if the skills have been met.
