Action research on grading and assessment practices of grade 7 mathematicsGary Johnston
The document discusses changes made to the 7th grade math program, including shifting to a grading system that emphasized summative assessments over assignments. Test scores and student surveys showed benefits from this change, such as higher test scores and students reporting improved learning and lower stress. The grading change aimed for students to take responsibility as learners through mastery-based assessments rather than multiple chances. Differentiated practice levels and targeted test preparation helped students learn effectively.
Classroom assessment in the K-12 Basic Education Program in the Philippines recognizes the diversity of learners, the need for multiple ways of measuring varying abilities, and the role of learners in the assessment process. Appropriate assessment ensures learners' success in moving from guided to independent demonstration of skills, and facilitates the development of higher-order thinking and 21st century skills. Classroom assessment methods are used to gather both quantitative and qualitative information on learners' mastery of content standards, performance standards, and learning competencies based on the curriculum. Learners are assessed through formative and summative, individual and collaborative methods. Grading involves assigning scores to written work, performance tasks, and quarterly assessments based on
The document provides draft guidelines for schools regarding further assessment opportunities. It proposes that schools offer students a maximum of one further assessment opportunity within a year for internally assessed standards. It also limits resubmission opportunities to specific errors and suggests schools document approaches where evidence is collected over time. Schools will have an opportunity to provide feedback on the guidelines before implementation in 2010.
This presentation clarifies what formative assessment is. The purpose and intention of formative assessment on improving student learning is emphasized. The different techniques on conducting formative assessment inside the classroom are provided.
This document discusses assessment in K-12 classrooms. It defines assessment as a process teachers use to collect evidence to improve student learning.

This document summarizes Carmel Schettino's presentation on assessing problem-based learning. It discusses defining features of PBL, such as using contextual problems and valuing student experience. It explores how PBL classrooms relate to NCTM math practice standards through attributes like connected curriculum and multiple perspectives. The document then examines assessment types used in the author's PBL classroom, including oral assessments, written assessments, and technology/inquiry projects. It provides examples of assessments and discusses ensuring assessments are authentic to PBL values and measure learning goals.
1. The document discusses key factors ("presage", "process", and "product" variables) that predict quality in higher education based on literature. Resources and selectivity predict some outcomes but not learning gains. Quality of teaching predicts performance and gains.
2. It also examines how universities have responded to teaching performance indicators (PIs) by improving feedback and using programs like TESTA, with increased student engagement and satisfaction. However, modular structures can negatively impact coherence.
3. The key implications are paying attention to pedagogy through changing students' and teachers' approaches, social learning, and program-level assessment, as well as using PIs to drive quality improvements through change processes.
This document discusses formative assessment and providing effective feedback to students. It emphasizes the importance of having clear learning targets, assessing students in a variety of ways, and giving descriptive feedback to help students improve. Some key points covered include setting clear goals for students, communicating expectations, involving students in self-assessment, and using feedback to guide further learning.
The document discusses various formative assessment techniques that teachers can use to check student understanding during instruction and guide future lessons. Some of the techniques discussed include classroom debates, mock interviews, jigsaw groups, anticipation guides, concept tests, gallery walks, and assessment conversations. Formative assessments help teachers identify what students have learned, what still needs to be taught, and how to tailor instruction to meet student needs.
Good cop, bad cop? Cracking formative, using summative wellTansy Jessop
This document discusses the importance of formative assessment and challenges with implementing it. It provides five case studies of disciplines that successfully incorporated formative assessment through various strategies like requiring ungraded formative assignments, linking formative work to summative assessments, using peer feedback, and adapting teaching based on formative feedback from students. The document suggests identifying principles from the case studies and adapting them for other disciplines.
This document discusses the importance of student engagement in education. Student engagement refers to a student's level of interest, curiosity, and motivation to learn. Studies have shown that engaged learners learn better and effective teaching promotes student engagement. The purpose of this study is to increase classroom success by making topics more relatable to students and encouraging autonomy and critical thinking. Data collection methods will include observations, student surveys, and working with a research team to understand how to keep students motivated to learn.
1. Classroom Action Research (CAR) is a type of research designed to improve teaching quality and student achievement in the classroom. Teachers evaluate their teaching methods and plan improvements based on the results.
2. CAR begins with identifying problems in the classroom that are prioritized for solving. The product of CAR is an innovative instructional strategy to address the identified problems.
3. CAR involves repeated cycles of planning an instructional strategy, implementing it, observing its effects, and reflecting on the results to revise the strategy if needed. The goal is to develop a strategy that effectively solves classroom issues.
Developing assessment patterns that work through TESTATansy Jessop
This document discusses assessment patterns that effectively support student learning. It begins with an overview of the Test-Enhanced Student Assessment (TESTA) framework and two case studies that illustrate how assessment can both help and hinder learning. The key points made are that formative assessment is important when done frequently and with useful feedback; summative assessments should be balanced with formative work and encourage effort across topics rather than last-minute cramming; and assessment should have clear learning outcomes and standards to help students understand expectations. Overall, the document argues for assessment designed as an integrated part of the curriculum to promote deep learning over surface-level knowledge retention.
The document discusses action research and classroom research. It provides a plan-act-observe-reflect framework for teachers to systematically reflect on their practice and identify areas for improvement. It also lists several questions that teachers could explore through classroom research, such as the impact of ability grouping, classroom behavior, and digital media on student achievement. Resources on related topics like brain education and differentiated instruction are also provided.
There are two main types of student assessment: informal and formal. Informal assessments are flexible, continuous, and help link assessment to teaching. They include checklists, portfolios, and curriculum-based measurements. Formal assessments are more structured, standardized, and episodic for evaluating knowledge. When assessing students with special needs, teachers ask questions about normal development and use informal tools like checklists and curriculum-based measurements to track progress over time.
This document provides descriptions of various assessment tools and strategies that teachers can use to evaluate student learning in non-traditional ways beyond traditional tests. It includes graphic organizers, interviews, observations, performance tasks, creative exhibitions, self-evaluations, journals, contracts, and portfolios that are designed to enhance student understanding and promote lifelong skills. These alternative assessment methods need not take away from learning time and can themselves be learning experiences.

This document provides an overview of Module 2, which focuses on using pre-assessment and formative assessment strategies. It discusses the importance of formative assessment in informing instruction and improving student learning. Various pre, formative, and summative assessment strategies are presented, including entrance slips, observations, quizzes, and student self-assessments. Teachers are asked to implement three new pre-assessment or formative assessment strategies. The module aims to increase awareness and use of these assessment types and link them to the school division's unit planning template.
This document provides an overview of a webinar on assessments and rubrics for transforming undergraduate STEM education. The webinar goals are to define typical terminology related to outcomes, assessments and rubrics, propose assessments for different outcomes and levels, and access and use a materials design rubric. The rubric links learning goals and processes through seven sections including guiding principles, learning goals and outcomes, assessments and measurements, resources and materials, instructional strategies, alignment, and GETSI-specific instructional strategies. The webinar discusses writing learning outcomes, formative and summative assessments, examples of current rubrics, and designing effective rubrics.
This document discusses assessment for learning and formative assessment. It outlines the key principles of assessment for learning, including that it should be part of effective planning, focus on how students learn, and promote commitment to learning goals. The four basic elements of assessment for learning are sharing learning goals, effective questioning, self and peer evaluation, and effective feedback. Teachers should utilize strategies like these to understand students' progress and inform next steps in instruction. The overall goal of assessment for learning is to help both students and teachers know how to improve learning.

2013 newmans error analysis and comprehension strategiesadd4maths
- Anne Newman identified 5 common hurdles students face when solving word problems: reading the words, comprehending what they read, transforming the information into a process to solve the problem, carrying out the necessary procedures, and encoding the answer.
- Newman's research showed that about 60% of student errors occur before even reaching the processing stage due to issues with reading, comprehension and transformation.
- Teachers are encouraged to use prompts based on Newman's framework to help students identify where they may be facing difficulties when solving word problems. This includes asking students to explain what the question is asking, how they will solve it, showing their work, and checking that their written answer actually responds to the original question.

Creativity for Innovation and SpeechmakingMattVassar1
Tapping into the creative side of your brain to come up with truly innovative approaches. These strategies are based on original research from Stanford University lecturer Matt Vassar, where he discusses how you can use them to come up with truly innovative solutions, regardless of whether you're using to come up with a creative and memorable angle for a business pitch--or if you're coming up with business or technical innovations.
Artificial Intelligence (AI) has revolutionized the creation of images and videos, enabling the generation of highly realistic and imaginative visual content. Utilizing advanced techniques like Generative Adversarial Networks (GANs) and neural style transfer, AI can transform simple sketches into detailed artwork or blend various styles into unique visual masterpieces. GANs, in particular, function by pitting two neural networks against each other, resulting in the production of remarkably lifelike images. AI's ability to analyze and learn from vast datasets allows it to create visuals that not only mimic human creativity but also push the boundaries of artistic expression, making it a powerful tool in digital media and entertainment industries.

5. The task of the
teacher
The task of the teacher is not necessarily to teach, but to create
situations in which students learn. This focus emphasises what it is that
students learn, rather than what teachers do. Most teachers appear to
be quite skilled at regulating or controlling the activities in which
students engage, but have only a hazy idea of the learning that results.
Professor Dylan Wiliam (University of London)
Keeping learning on track: Formative assessment and regulation of learning
6. Aspects of formative assessment
• Enhance teaching
• Improve learning
• Reflect a belief that all students can improve.
It involves:
• Asking the right questions to determine where the student currently is in their
learning
• Knowing what comes next in the sequence of learning
• Knowing how to get them there.
You know what you have taught. How do you know what learning has
occurred?
What role does continuous assessment and monitoring have in the teaching
and
learning process?
Share with your colleagues what continuous assessment and monitoring looks
Assessment for learning is designed to:
7. Using continuous assessment in the
classroom
What issues do you face when employing continuous assessment in the
classroom?
8. Should students be a part of the assessment
process?
One of the most constructive and empowering educational goals
we might frame would be to equip students to monitor their own
progress. Effective assessment is a continuous process,
predicated on the teacher's and the pupil's mutual recognition of
the goals of the learning and the criteria for success.
Gilar Leder (Ed.) Assessment and learning of mathematics, 1992
Why do you think self-monitoring would be empowering for students?
How can teachers make this possible?
10. What Makes Assessment
Effective?
• Assessment connects to prior learning
• Students are given time to think before responding
• Assessment engages students, is relevant and
valued
• Students demonstrate mathematical skills in context
(Curriculum support website – Assessing and reporting K-12)
11. What is Authentic Assessment?
• Authentic means genuine, to make valid
• gives a ‘snapshot’ of student understandings at a given
point in time
• informs teachers where the student is “at” and where they
need to “move to” - Assessment for Learning
• identifies student strategies and skills
• engages the learner
12. Other forms of Assessment for Learning
• Completing simple drawings/diagrams
• Open ended puzzles (e.g. square saw)
• Describing/explaining/reflecting (verbal and written)
• Classifying
• Matching activities
• Quizzes
• Pre and post tests e.g. Frayer model
• Cloze activities e.g. directions
• Practical activities
• Observing games e.g. rabbit ears/ circle champions
• Portfolios/ work samples
• Self assessment e.g. Rubrics
• Peer assessment
• Questioning & recording e.g. daily evaluations/grid sheets
• RT rubrics/WM
13. Common Quality Elements
of Interview-based Assessments
• accurate snapshot of student performance
• clear directions/ relevant help for teaching and learning
• identifies the strategies students are using
• group students and differentiate curriculum
• can map student progress onto the Numeracy continuum
14. Open ended Assessments -
Example: The Square Saw
The square saw can be
used for a variety of
assessment areas
E.g. pre and post test
for identifying
equivalent fractions %,
decimals, fractions or
for showing
multiplication facts,
factors, multiples etc
15. Strategic Questioning
• Key Questions around the central concept
• Closed Questions
• Open Questions
• Prompting students to further respond
• Hands down questioning
• Responding positively to students with explicit feedback
• Building on ‘wrong’ answers
• Distributing questions around the class
• Encouraging students to ask questions
17. Why Rich Assessment Tasks (RATS) ?
“When teachers gave more intellectually demanding
tasks there was a strong relationship between the
quality of tasks and student work. Teachers giving
tasks with higher levels of intellectual quality got
higher levels of authentic work from students than
teachers who assigned less challenging tasks.”
Newmann, Lopez and Bryk (1998)
18. Rich Assessment Tasks
• Provides students with opportunities to demonstrate
understanding, knowledge and practical skills
• Allows for a full range of student performance
• Connect to previous learning or relevant curriculum
• Encompasses a variety of outcomes
• Promotes learning and engagement
21. Stage 3 RAT
Measurement and Area Task MS3.1 and MS3.2

Use diagrams as part of your response.
23. Designing A Rich Assessment
Task
• Choose a real world topic
• Decide what area/concepts you want to assess
• Think of an investigating question
• Set criteria, including marking criteria
• Create scaffolds for students requiring support
24. Ways to Make Rich TasksWays to Make Rich Tasks
• FIND ONE
– Support documents
– COGS
– etc..
• WHAT IF’S
- using NAPLAN questions to form complex problems
• WRITE FROM SCRATCH
- Use hobbies
- Weekend activities
- Culture etc
Example
27. Monitoring and Tracking using
Numeracy Continuum
• Authentic Assessment to know student levels
• Planning teaching around concepts of majority of class
• Visual Wall mapping and celebration of movement
• Student self regulation & feedback; knowing where to next?
• Forming class groups based on levels
• Differentiating activities based on framework
• 5 week data entry points around integrated program blocks
• Monitoring of tracking levels K-6 on Excel Spread sheet system
• Aligning school reporting systems with assessment points
and language
30. The next step in the process of teaching and
assessing is feedback
… feedback is at or near the top of those treatments which have the
greatest effect on student learning. Feedback is not only an outcome of
student performance, but an essential part of the learning process.
Professor Steve Dinham
Feedback on Feedback (2008)
Teachers providing feedback to their students closes the loop of teaching,
learning and assessment. Through providing good quality feedback, teachers
enable students to take responsibility for their learning and progress.
Students need constructive feedback that can help them learn better –
feedback needs to be specific so that students are able to take action.
Feedback should also be shared with parents in ways that strengthen their
capacity to actively support their child’s learning.
The Australian Association of Mathematics Teachers.
Position paper on the practice of assessing mathematics learning. 2008
31. • ...the most powerful single moderator that enhances
achievement is feedback. The simplest prescription for
improving education must be "dollops of feedback" -- providing
information how and why the child understands and
misunderstands, and what directions the student must take to
improve.
• The most fundamental component of teaching is imparting
information to students, assessing and evaluating the students
understanding of this information, and then matching the next
teaching act to the present understandings of the student.
John Hattie (University of Auckland)
Influences on Student learning: Inaugural lecture 1999
32. Feedback on learning - Professor Dylan
Wiliam
A very important way of looking at feedback is whether it's ego involving or task
involving.
Ego involving: You did very well - it focuses on that person’s position in the class.
Task involving: What you need to do to improve....
The research clearly shows that ego involving feedback is rarely effective and, in
fact, can lower achievement. In other words, in many cases rather than giving that
kind of praise you would have been better off shutting up and giving no feedback at
all!
Research shows that when feedback focuses on what students need to do to
improve, and, in particular, how to go about it... then you get very large impacts on
student achievement.
I think that good feedback causes thinking. We need to give students feedback
that helps them move forward; that makes it clear that ability is incremental rather
than fixed. If we send the message to students that ability is fixed then if you’re not
confident or think that you might actually fail when other people will succeed, you
will disengage and basically, you will decide that you would rather be thought lazy
than stupid.

Editor's Notes
A suggested process
Give participants time to discuss aspects before revealing them.
Reveal this slide after brainstorm based on questions of previous slide. Pen and paper assessments mask unsophisticated strategies, we need to scaffold children according to what strategies they use. Accuracy and full range of skills should be assessed. Closed activities don’t allow for this.
These sort of assessments are open ended. They can help guide teaching and learning and are useful for pre and post assessment comparison.
These are revealed following discussion from previous slide. Strategic questioning is an essential component of Authentic assessment. Highlight importance of students doing more of the talking and thinking and the value of planning key questions and increasing aspects of questioning highlighted here.
Participants ...... discuss
These examples come from Assessment Resource centre. The task allows for complete understanding and especially helps when moderating for A-E assessment.
RT mention Teaching ideas from Teaching Measurement, Teaching S & G CD Rom activities (making a level) , Sample unit activities, Fractions Pikelets and lamingtons (crossing wall/building a bridge)
Participants will be taken through the different types
Participants need to be taken to the Assessment Resource site to show the range of activities available, especially showing the different work samples for A-E
There are lots of quality examples of RAT in our support documents. Have participants look at one of the pattern block investigations in “Teaching Angles” and the sandwich weighing task in Teaching Measurement. Highlight sample units of work as sources of WM activities some of which are RATs. Let participants know the knew Patterns And Algebra CD Rom resource is out and contains lots of rich tasks. Highlight activities like 6.2 Length Design a Race track and building a bridge in Fractions Pikelets and lamingtons
Explain how to use Frayer Model for pre and post assessment comparisons and to guide explicit teaching. Give participants a double-sided hard copy. Work through an example of pyramids. On the other side use the Frayer Model to confirm knowledge of Authentic Assessment. The Frayer Model is versatile and can be used for any aspect of numeracy.
