Case: Assessment in a New Content Area
Mrs. Grace started teaching social studies this school year to middle school students. She started year excited and ready to teach, but is now discouraged. Her content leader has required all of the grade level social studies teachers to administer the exact same summative assessments and submit item analysis reports to her after each assessment. Mrs. Grace is frustrated because this severely limits her ability to teach using her personal teaching style. She also feels that she is not covering the content to best of her ability because she is stuck to giving the 'required' assessments. The students are also frustrated with the assessments because they are all Scantron due to the need to submit item analysis information. How should Mrs. Grace handle this situation?
Solution: (Rates are posted for this solution!)
Mrs. Grace should give the common assessments, as required, but grace every other lesson with her personal teaching style. HOW the students master the skills has no relevance on the scantron tests. The time constraint aspect is terribly frustrating, but it is going to be a challenge no matter what kind of assessment you are expected to give. Yes, the common summative assessment system is lame, but the lessons, themselves, and formative assessments are all up to Mrs. Grace and she should make the best of it. |
