Key Concepts

  • Four main assessment types — selected response, extended written response, performance assessment and personal communication (p 90 -93)

  • “The heart of accuracy in classroom assessment revolves around matching … achievement targets … to the appropriate assessment method.” (p 95, paragraph 1)

  • Five stages in Assessment Development: Plan, Develop, Critique, Administer and Revise (listed on p 107, explained fully on pages 106 -117)

    • Food for Thought:

  • Involve students in as many of the five stages as possible!
  • No assessment method is superior to any other.
