real assessment™
Researchers and educators world-wide are recognising
the need to involve learners in the assessment and evaluation
process. Whilst it is certainly useful for teachers
and parents to know learners´ strengths and weaknesses,
it is surely an imperative for learners themselves to
know where they are, where they need to be, and how
they´re going to get there...otherwise, how WILL
they get there? Recognising that we are on our way to
meeting this challenge...the fact that we require moderation
is a symptom...what is the fundamental problem? Perhaps
our criteria fails to meet the ‘criteria for criteria’.
This workshop provides teachers and learners with the
road map to designing consistently objective, fair,
valid, educative, comprehensive and transparent assessment.
This intensive hands-on workshop develops the participants´
ability to design criteria for student use that directly
links to the outcomes provided in their specific curriculum
documents. The links between brain research and criteria;
thinking and criteria; learning process and criteria;
student self-evaluation, goal setting and monitoring,
student-written reports, student-led interviews and
an approach that empowers learners to develop criteria
independently, will also be examined and applied, as
you begin your journey toward the design of truly effective
criteria for teachers and kids!
Outcomes
- develop your understanding of the critical characteristics
of criteria
- develop your understanding of the relationships between
criteria and thinking; criteria and learning process;
criteria and brain research
- develop your ability to create effective criteria
that is fair, valid, comprehensive, educative and transparent
to students, parents and all teachers
- develop your understanding of how to effectively use
criteria with your learners
- address and alleviate concerns/challenges associated
with criteria use
- develop your understanding of rubrics
- develop your ability to develop effective rubrics
- explore the concept of student written report cards
- explore a process that facilitates student led interviews
- explore a process which guides learners toward the
independent development of criteria
