Assessment Assignment (job)Select two summative assessments that you already use in the

classroom. Choose two students whose work you will analyze. The students’

responses will give you an opportunity to discuss your practice. The assessments you choose can include: Objective (i.e. multiple

choice, T/F, fill-in-the-blank, matching), short answer, essay (or combination) tests

Performance assessments/projects Writing assignments Include a separate analysis for each student (Analysis I is due on

Feb. 22 and Analysis II is due on April 5). Please use initials or a pseudonym for your students. In your appendix, please include a copy of each assessment and your grading rubric with the comments and feedback on each. Address the following questions in your analysis:

 

Assessment Assignment (no job) You may work from 472 portfolio and/or 473 Unit Plan. Or you can

create two assessments from two units if you choose.

You may use the internet and/or textbooks for support in writing questions and ideas (for projects and writing assignments). All sources must be cited using both parenthetical reference and a Resources page (APA documentation).

The assessments you create can include multiple choice, T/F, fill-in-the-blank, matching, short answer, or essay questions (or a combination). The assessment may also be a project or a writing assignment. Make sure you are careful regarding the length of the test. While there is not a minimum/maximum number of questions (this depends largely on the level and subject area), the test should not take longer than 1 hour for a student to complete, and not under 20 minutes. If it is a project, it should be something students can complete over the course of a couple of weeks. It should not span the length of an entire semester or term.
