Classroom Assessment: Connecting Grading with Learning
This course, for K-12 teachers, provides a forum for the creation of classroom assessment practices that support students in developing academic competencies. Participants in this course will use theory and research to guide the design of assessment practices that are integral to the classroom learning experience, meaningful to the range of students in the class, and effective at reporting on the degree to which students meet standards. Topics for exploration inclue the beginnings of grading, integrating instruction and assessment, working with standards, selected-response assessments, constructed-response assessments, articulating expectations, providing feedback, nonachievement factors, reflection, portfolios, and communicating about student work. The material in this course is covered in the institutes Classroom Assessment: Developing Evaluations for Grading and Reporting and Classroom Assessment: Using Assessment as an Instructional Tool.
