Leveled Assessments

 Why do you want to focus on this area for your ICDP?

None of my classes in the past have had leveled assessments.  I am hoping to learn more constructing effectively written questions and assessments for all of my courses. 

 

What are you wanting to change about your practice and how will that impact student learning?

Evaluate my current assessments in terms of what type of questions and the level of questions that I am currently asking on assessments.  Create new assessments that reflect the high school goal's expectations.  These tests will be used as summative assessments and eventually be used as create corresponding formative assessments.

 

What school/class data shows this is an area of concern for you?

No particular data; however, it is a high school goal and expectation.

 

What do you see as your topic for research?

Writing effective formative leveled assessments.

 

How will this topic enhance and support student learning?

Effective leveled formative assessments coupled with summative assessments may reduce the number of reassessments for students.

 

Where will you look for resources on this topic?

Handouts from professional development sessions, articles from the internet, possibly YouTube.

 

How will you know you improved in this area? What evidence will you have?

From a quantitative standpoint, i will be able to count the number of courses and assessments that I change to leveled assessments.  From a qualitative standpoint, I will be receiving input from my AIW team and from a meeting with administration.
