If your assessments are assessing information and/or standards that are not pertinent to the grade level or class, then why are you assessing? The assessments need to have:
- Clear Purpose
- What's the purpose?
- Who will use the results?
- What will they use the results for?
- Key Targets
- What are the learning targets?
- Are they clear?
- Are they appropriate?
- Sound Design
- What method?
- Quality questions?
- Sampled how?
- Avoid bias how?
- Effective Communication
- How to manage information?
- How to report? To whom?
- Student Involvement
- Students are the users
- Students need to understand the targets
- Students can track progress and communicate too
When creating an assessment it is important to make sure it:
- Relates to the learning goal
- Is at the level the standard calls for
- Is appropriate
- Questions are clear
If your assessments do not meet any of the criteria listed above, your data will be inaccurate and results will be skewed.
