5 minute assessment reviews: Triangulation

 


Hello again,
Today we are going to begin looking at how to triangulate your assessment, both by including observation, conversation and product in judging your students' mastery and by using three points of data guide your assessment.

The first video discusses using observation, conversation and product to assess our students.



The second video begins to look at using three points of data collection (that is three assessments) to both guide your teaching and also make your assessment more valid.  This video is assuming that the 3 points of data are all equally weighted an that the course, or the unit is scaffolded and one concept is built on another.  In a subject like English (my area), the assumption is that the entire course builds upon earlier concepts and understandings.  In a subject like science or math, each unit of study might build upon earlier concepts in the course or just the unit and be scaffolded in that way.



I hope that these ideas can open a conversation about how teachers use triangulation to make their assessments fair and reliable.

The next video will dig deeper into looking at most recent and most consistent marks and I will do an English teacher explanation of measure of central tendency.

Let's keep the conversation going.
