7. Summative vs. Formative assessment Summative assessment is commonly used to certify the amount that individuals have learned and to provide an accountability measure. Summative assessments hold teachers accountable for standardized performance. They measure how well the teacher taught the curriculum. Formative assessment, in which the assessment is integrated with the instruction (and sometimes serves as the instruction) with the purpose of deepening learning, can replace summative assessment in many cases. Formative assessment measures and supports learning, not teaching. Sheryl Nussbaum-Beach 21stcenturycollaborative.com NEW DIRECTIONS IN ASSESSMENT

17. Shifts focus of literacy from individual expression to community involvement. Students become producers, notjust consumersof knowledge.

18. How do you do it?-- TPCK and Understanding by Design There is a new curriculum design model that helps us think about how to make assessment part of learning. Assessment before , during, and after instruction. Teacher and Students as Co-Curriculum Designers What do you want to know and be able to do at the end of this activity, project, or lesson? What evidence will you collect to prove mastery? (What will you create or do) What is the best way to learn what you want to learn? How are you making your learning transparent? (connected learning) Assessment is part of the learning process- student directed or teacher directed.

30. Sheryl Nussbaum-Beach 21stcenturycollaborative.com NEW DIRECTIONS IN ASSESSMENT Change is inevitable: Growth is optional Change produces tension- it pushes us out of our comfort zone. “Creative tension- the force that comes into play at the moment we acknowledge our vision is at odds with the current reality.” --Senge

31. Courage to Shift the way we teach and learnthe art of release… It takes a lot of courage to release the familiar and seemingly secure, to embrace the new. But there is no real security in what is no longer meaningful. There is more security in the adventurous and exciting, for in movement there is life, and in change there is power. ~~Alan Cohen Sheryl Nussbaum-Beach 21stcenturycollaborative.com NEW DIRECTIONS IN ASSESSMENT

32. Evaluating Best Practice … What do you look for during the walk through? How do you tell the difference between chaos and 21st century best practice? What’s different? What’s shifted? Evidence that an administrator may be able to observe in three minutes would include: 1) the level of excitement in the classroom – is it “bubbly” excitement, which may indicate some novelty in using the technology? or is it a “humming” excitement, which may indicate a comfort with technology which is driving student motivation? 2) the comfort level of the teacher with the technology – is the teacher’s use of the technology fluid or choppy? 3) teacher/student collaboration – does the teacher appear to be comfortable with having the students in the “driver’s seat”? 4) student motivation – are the students purpose-driven, using their time purposely to achieve their goals? 5) authentic experiences – could the lesson be conducted just as well without the technology involved?
