Learning targets facilitate progress

Today we'll be looking at ways to improve assessments we may already be using and a method for creating new assessments that are better aligned with the standards based report card, fit with MasteryConnect assessments, and will better prepare your students for end of year testing.

Our job today is to walk you through this process so that you can do it as teams.

Requisite Skills

The first step in this process is to identify requisite skills for completing the task.

Some of these may be prerequisite skills that should have been mastered in a previous grade, others will be new.

Having completed the activity you just did identifying main idea and details, you're ready to list the skills students will need to do this task.

This is step one.

Sort skills into DoK Levels

Once you have your list of skills you'll sort them into the DoK levels they belong in.

Consider the materials on this paper we hand you about DoK levels

Match assessment questions with skills

On the resource we gave you there is a list of assessment questions that go with the standard.
Determine where the questions, and others you create go on the DoK scale.

Write questions and any other ideas for assessing the standard in your booklet.

Design your assessment

Develop an assessment or series of assessments to help you determine where students are performing on a given standard.

You may want to collaborate with other schools to create assessments and share the load.

Use the 'design your assessment' page to design an assessment for RI.5.2 that could be used with any text.

Complete your grading sheet

Look at the grading sheet you might use to determine how students are performing particular skills.
