6 Alternative Assessments

In a STEM classroom, the focus is based more on what the students learn through experience rather than just the end result. Assessments are valuable tools used to gauge effectiveness and evaluate progress. Different types of assessment tools are available utilizing technology to help teachers assess students quickly and efficiently.

Part 1: STEM Alternative Assessment

For this assignment, research various assessment tools and choose two STEM-related content standards to include science, technology, engineering, or math.

Use the “Alternative Assessment” template to create an alternative assessment that is project-based or involves creating a digital presentation that students will present. Your assessment must include the assignment specifications, description, and use one form of technology.

Your alternative assessment should include:

Two STEM Standards

Learning Objective(s)

Title, description, and instructions of the alternative assessment

Utilize the “Class Profile” in order to differentiate assessment to meet the diverse learning needs for three different students from Topic 4.

Part 2: Reflection

In 250-500 words, summarize and reflect on the process of creating an alternative assessment in STEM. Why is it important to create alternative assessments that are not paper and pencil tests? Explain the significance of integrating the real-world aspect into an alternative assessment. How does this create relevancy to students?

APA format is not required, but solid academic writing is expected.
