| Assessment is always challenging - whether you are the student, teacher, or designer of them! In UbD training and consulting; in looking at curriculum maps; in viewing classes: we hear it over and over: boy, the assessment part is difficult.
It always helps to have examples to learn from and borrow. So, here are some of the better Internet-based resources available to you. Some of the sites teach about assessment; others provide samples. Make a special effort to check out the Georgia Frameworks: a database of model units, written in ubd format, culminating in pretty good performance tasks with good detail on how to implement them. if you are interested in a few of my briefer, punchier articles on assessment and reform, go to Edutopia for a few examples: http://www.edutopia.org/healthier-testing-made-easy http://www.edutopia.org/assessment-for-understanding-taking-deeper-look Below are sites with assessment examples, guidance on developing them, and information on how to use them: |
