Technology & Assessment
“Putting the power of technology to work for all students requires a
broadly conceived approach to educational change that integrates
new technologies and curricula with new ideas about learning, teaching, and assessment.”

“Superficial forms ofassessment tend to lead to
superficial forms ofteaching and learning.”
Teaching to the Test
Why Assess?
Provide diagnosis Set standards Evaluate progress Communicate results Motivate performance
Standardized Tests
Are not prescriptive Give capsulated view of a
student’s learning Used in conjunction with
performance-based assessment
Types of Authentic Assessment
Observation Teacher-made tests, quizzes, exams Written compositions Oral presentations Projects, experiments, performance
tasks Portfolios
How to Create a Rubric1. List all the possible dimensions that
you could look at. 2. Narrow your choices to a reasonable
number.3. Decide on the number of
performance levels. Label them. (For example, “Not Yet”, “Sometimes” and “Always” OR “Fair”, “Average” and “Excellent”)
4. Write statements that clearly describe the expected performance at each level of each dimension.
5. Try out your rubric BEFORE using it!!!
Now, create your own rubric
Review the objectives you have developed for your unit plan.
Choose one of the objectives that you feel would be best assessed through the use of a rubric.
Use a Word Table to create your rubric.

learning process? Will it accurately reflect what is
being learned?
