Case: Assess...assess...assess
In East County School, teachers are expected to assess...assess...assess. They give pre and post tests for each unit and informally assess students throughout units to assess student learning. Sally is a teacher at this school and now the county is requiring teachers to start giving quick 5 question formative assessments on Monday and Friday to determine student growth. Sally's students already complain that they test too much. What is the point of all this testing and is it really providing useful data that could not be achieved in another fashion?
Solution: (Rates are posted for this solution!)
If the assessments are used correctly, they can provide valuable information. However, I do agree that the testing in this case is a little excessive. I suggest using tickets out the door as assessment methods or the Monday and Friday assessments can be delivered with technology, such as clickers or online quiz programs. Students may enjoy the more interactive aspect of these programs. |
