Assessment and Evaluation of Student Learning
The assessment support for this critical challenge has been adapted from Reaching
Group Consensus (Modelling the Tools). The tables for
20-1 and 20-2 identify only learning outcomes that are assessed by using the
summative student task. Other outcomes for this critical challenge are addressed
through instruction. The full list of learning outcomes can be found in the Outcomes
section of this critical challenge.

Assessment for Learning (Formative)
Formative assessment provides opportunities for students to receive feedback.
Formative feedback is used solely to help students improve their performance.
Tools have been provided to support students with this critical challenge
and in learning to reflect on their work in progress. Select the tools that
you feel will best support student learning, based on the needs of your students
and their experience with self reflection.
Students can use Student Self-reflection: Analyzing a Contemporary
Global Issue (Assessment) to reflect on their work in progress and
make any necessary adjustments before submitting work for marking.
Students can work with a peer to use the Student Self Reflection:
My Performance as a Group Member (Assessment) to reflect on their
work in progress and make any necessary adjustments before submitting work
for marking.
Assessment of Learning (Summative)
Summative assessment takes place after instruction and after students have
had a chance to practise and receive specific, descriptive feedback on their
work. Summative assessment provides an opportunity for students to demonstrate
what they know and can do.
Use the Rubric for Mock UN Summit (Assessment) to evaluate
student performance on the various criteria of the task.
