Systematic Assessment

What does it mean to be
systematic? What does this look like in a learning environment? How does
systematic assessment tie into setting instructional goals? Why should teachers
engage in systematic assessment? How do they set instructional goals?
Often educators are
aware of the need for systematic assessment and consistently setting
instructional goals for their learning environment but have no idea of where to
begin. How does one start? As a part of your teacher-leader role, you will
develop a training and setting Instructional Goals.
·
Review
and reflect on the four listed
articles and recommended resources from the Learning Resources of this module
·
Conduct independent
research on Systematic Assessment.
Consider the following scenario:
As a teacher leader, you are called upon to
present to your colleagues a training session on Systematic Assessment: Setting
Instructional Goals.
Select a specific age
group, research, and find two articles on Systematic Assessment.
Write a paper in which
you do the following:
·
Define Systematic Assessment based on your
research, and cite as appropriate.
·
Clearly
identify the age group you
will be working with. Focus on developmental milestones for this age group and
focus the presentation on one of the following content areas:
language/literacy, mathematics, science, social studies, art, health and PE, and
technology (for younger children, social/emotional, physical, etc., should be
considered).
·
Identify assessments
(formative, summative, informal, and formal) that could be used for systemic
assessment in the area selected. Explain their purpose and how they
can be used to guide instruction and set instructional
goals. Discuss cultural responsiveness in light of choosing
appropriate assessments.
·
Cite your research and provide appropriate
references in APA format to substantiate your thinking.
