The benefits of assessing during the project and after the project so that teachers can learn how to support their students and think differently about standards. The planning summative assessment is assessing students at the end of a project. They can do so by grading against a rubric, presenting a performance task, giving a test, or asking other teachers to help assess. The planning of formative assessment consists of setting milestones, planning check ins, and looking for progress markers. The options and tools for formative assessment are white boards, mind or concept mapping software to record interest inventories, needs assessments, listening, polls and more. The benefits of using a rubric are to have a guide for what you are hoping to see as an outcome from the students. It helps to set goals and milestones for students to reach and know what is expected ahead of time. Concepts in this chapter relate to my topic/project because they teach me how I can set guidelines for my students when partaking in PBL.
"by grading against a rubric, presenting a performance task, giving a test, or asking other teachers to help assess." I like this part of your blog. I can see how using a rubric may not be the best way to help assess/grade a child's work. They may be able to do other things that the rubric may not show.
ReplyDeleteCassie,
ReplyDeleteI like how you discussed the benefits of using a rubric. I know as a student I was kind of annoyed by them, but looking at it now I see it is a valuable tool teachers can use to help guide their students on what is expected of them from said project.
