Assessment for Learning (Formative)
Formative assessment provides opportunities
for students to receive feedback. Formative
feedback is used solely to help students
improve their performance.
A number of tools have been provided to
support students in learning to give and
receive feedback 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 and peer coaching.
Students can work with a peer to use the Peer
Coaching Feedback: Explaining and Describing (Assessment) to
reflect on their work in progress and
make any necessary adjustments before
submitting work for marking.
Students can use Supporting
My Opinion (Graphic
Organizer) to record their reasons
for selecting each example of active
and responsible citizenship. As three
examples are required, this document
can be duplicated as needed. Students
will need to integrate this information
into their final product.
Students can work with a peer to use Peer Coaching Feedback: Communicating Effectively (Assessment) to reflect on their work in progress and make any necessary adjustments. Two samples have been provided: one, Peer Coaching Feedback: Communicating Effectively in an Oral Presentation, provides sample characteristics for an oral presentation, and the other, Peer Coaching Feedback: Communicating Effectively in an Electronic Slide Show Presentation, provides sample characteristics for an electronic slide show presentation. These tools may be adjusted as necessary for other presentation formats. In order to meet the outcome, when students create other presentation checklists, students should include the first two characteristics from the sample checklists.
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 Understanding
Rights and Responsibilities (Assessment) to
evaluate student performance on the
various criteria of the task.
