Evaluate Assessment Strategies

Questioning is a method of testing knowledge by asking the learner a series of questions related to the performance criteria. It is important that the assessor plans the questions beforehand, ensuring that open questions are used, and identifies the means of recording them, whether it be written; voice recorded or videoed. Questioning can be a very useful assessment method used alongside other methods. With observation, in particular, ‘what if’ questions can be used for evidence that might be hard to obtain, for example.

Haydn (2009 cited in Capel et al 2009 page 329) defines assessment as "all those activities which are undertaken by teachers, and others, to measure the effectiveness of teaching and learning".

Q1. Are alternative assessments more valid tools when addressing differences such as learning styles, cultural expectations, ethnicity, gender, or age? Why?

Our team has been brought in to assist you in accurately assessing the members of your team to maximize their performance and potential. Our goal is not to tell you which team members should be assigned to various positions, but to provide an in-depth assessment of personality traits, responsibility, motivation, ethics, and typology. In this assessment, we will provide you with the following information: assessments of the individual members of your team, including possible strengths and weaknesses, how the group interacts and communicates with its individual members, and how the group interacts and communicates with individuals and groups outside of itself. With this information, we can advise you on the best way to lead and

You need to make regular assessments of the way you work and the progress you are making. Ask yourself whether you are managing your work efficiently, whether you achieve the deadlines you or others set you and whether you are taking advantage of opportunities to increase your self-confidence and learn from new experiences. As part of your assessment you should identify areas for improvement and skills you may need to

The video "Understanding Assessments" by Dr. Laurie Francis explains the definition of assessments, the difference between formal and informal assessments, the tools used to assess students, and how to differentiate between formative and summative classrooms assessments.

Assessment is a multi-faceted issue, it should be viewed as such when attempting to gauge an accurate understanding of learners. Several states have implemented performance-based assessments into standardized testing, in addition to including assignments such as student portfolios and presentations for the supplementary measure of learner understanding (Edutopia, 2015). Consequently, the pressure for school administrations to perform has led to poor judgment, inadequate decision-making, in addition to educational scandals. For instance, the scandal at Harvard in 2013 lead to about 70 withdrawing from school after academic exam responses were supplied by peer learners (Perez-Pena, 2013). Administrators in K-12 have also been involved in

In the traditional function of education, assessments are utilized as a form of judgment, which leads to sorting and producing performance goals for students (Green & Johnson, 2010). Unfortunately, in my current position as a science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) instructor at a technical college, I have followed this path in my classroom. STEM curricula are known for being rigorous and challenging, and students have expressed feelings of being overwhelmed by the conceptual difficulties in the curriculum (Koenig, Schen, Edwards, & Bao, 2012). Unfortunately, having experienced the rigor and challenges of the STEM disciplines during my undergraduate years and through my work experience, my assessment practices tend to decide who I believe can “make it” in the STEM field. Consequently, by using my judgment in separating the non-achievers from the achievers in my classroom, I am, in fact, harming my students, because I am not assisting all of them in reaching their potential in the STEM field (Green & Johnson, 2010). Thus, I acknowledge and must address this ethical issue within my classroom.

The first area that brings clarity for assessing young people with CP is heterogeneity in the types and severity of CP. CP creates a large spectrum of antisocial and aggressive behavior that range from yelling and temper tantrums to more serious acts such as stealing (McMahon, 2005). In regards to the research that was obtained in this article, the main objective when assessing a child or adolescent for severe CP is to carefully measure the total number of CP, the different types of CP, and the severity of the CP. It’s vital that the degree to which the child is impaired as a result of the existing CP be assessed as well (McMahon, 2005). Assessing these areas will not only aid the assessor in the screening and diagnosis process, but it will also play a huge role in determining the validity of the original referral (McMahon, 2005).Three assessment methods are used in this Evidence Based Assessment to obtain a detailed and true representation of the individual that’s referred for CP (McMahon, 2005). These three methods include “interviews with parents, youth, and other relevant parties, such as teachers; behavior rating scales; and behavioral observations in the clinic, home, or school setting” (McMahon, 2005 p.479).

For this assessment, I will identify the key principles of assessment and a range of assessment activities that link to theory. I will also have the opportunity to devise an assessment activity for my learners that withhold these key principles and promote inclusive learning.

When it comes to intelligence test, aptitude test, and achievement test we know that each test focuses on different areas that help identify and evaluate a variety of skills and abilities a child might have. Some kids today face academic problems whether is language or origin and require special attention. The main focus is the effective, competent, and ethical application of assessment methods in various settings and with diverse populations. (Drummond, 2010). Having the proper research and understanding will definitely be beneficial in obtaining positive results and this is valuable information only these test can

In analyzing the effectiveness of the BASC-2 and CBCL in the professional setting, school counselors can refer to the literature to identify how the assessments have been used and their effectiveness. In a review of the literature, the BASC-2 has been used for the purpose of serving as the criterion for externalizing and internalizing problems with youth age 7 to 15 to examine if teacher support is a moderator of life stressors (Huber, Sifers, Houlihan, & Youngblom, 2012). This study used the PRS to determine externalizing problems and the SPR to determine internalizing problems (Huber, Sifers, Houlihan, & Youngblom, 2012). In addition, another study conducted with first grade students in South Korea aimed

Celebrations and rewards will build respect for the mentor or coach and help employees see that the individual is not only there to criticize but also to share in employee success.

Pre Assessment- The pre assessment will be the list of characteristic that describe them as well as the statements that they have heard people say about themselves or others, that they would consider predigest or a stereotype. This will not be graded but will help the teacher see where student misconception is.
