My Assessment Goals
  1. Assessments should drive the curriculum.
    1. Authentic Assessment
      1. Assessments should give the teacher information to know what needs to be taught in the classroom. The assessment should show the teacher the exact areas that the students still needs help on.
        1. In my classroom, I use the assessments to determine what I will do in my small groups for the following week.
    2. Assessments should be taught.
      1. Authentic Assessment
        1. With any assessment, a student must be taught the content of the test, but it's rare for the students to be taught HOW to take the test. With Authentic Assessment, the goal is for the students to know what to expect on the test so that they can figure out the best way to show their understanding of the content.
          1. I believe that is important for my students to always know what I am expecting of them, but I believe it is especially important for my EL students. They have to know exactly what they are expected to know in a clear and concise way. By teaching the students not only the content but what I am expecting from them on the test, I am giving them every opportunity to succeed. .
      2. Assessments should be a direct measure.
        1. Authentic Assessment
          1. The assessment that the students take should indicate their strengths and weaknesses. The assessment should also connect the students with experiences they may experience in the "real world".
            1. I use this part of authentic assessment to show my students how their words and skills will be needed for the rest of their school career.
        2. Assessments should align with standards.
          1. Authentic and Traditional Assessment
            1. With any lesson, a teacher should first look at the standards that they are expected to teach. With EL students, they are often behind, however, it is still our job to teach them grade-level content in a way that they understand.
              1. Before creating a lesson, I always look to the standards to ensure that I am teaching my students the information that they need to know.
          2. Assessments should not be biased to one type of student.
            1. Authentic Assessment
              1. When using a traditional assessment, it is the same no matter who the student is. With Authentic Assessment, we create assessments that are based on what each individual student knows. They also have the opportunity to show an answer in multiple ways.
                1. I believe that it is not fair to expect every student to show their answers in the exact same way. With authentic assessment, I can create an assessment that allows the student to show their knowledge in a way that suits them best while still demonstrating their understanding.
