Assessment feedback practices. Unit 2.A

assessment feedback practices. UNIT 2.A

In this activity, I should complete the personal inventory thinking about the extent to which each of the characteristics of effective feedback is part of my regular classroom practice. I will use the scale 0-4.

                                      Survey Statement and rating:  

              

1. I communicate learning targets to students in language they can understand, as a regular part of instruction.  Rating: 0

2. I use examples and models of strong and weak work to help students understand key elements of a quality response, product or performance.  Rating: 3

3. I offer feedback that links directly to the intended learning, pointing out strengths and offering information to guide improvement . Students receive this feedback during the learning process and have opportunities to improve on each learning target before the grade event. Rating: 2

4. I design assignments and assessments so that students can self-assess, by identifying their own strengths and areas for further study in terms of the intended learning. The results of assignments and assessments function as effective feedback to students. Rating: 2

5. I use assessment information to focus instruction on a day to day basis. Rating:3

6. I give students regular opportunities to track, reflect on, and share their achievement status and improvement. Rating: 3

¡Making Reflections!

Making a reflection about my assessment practice, I have realised that I don´t communicate the learning targets to my students. Simply, I work about them, but they do not know what they have to achieve, because I don´t explain it them. After learning about assessment in this subject, I am aware of the importance of inform my students about learning targets. Also, I know that I have to use a appropiate language to facilitate the understanding.

About the third item, I offer feedback to my students to guide their improvement. However, I don´t always give my students the opportunity of redoing their works. So, I need to improve in this aspect in order to facilitate the learning of my students.

Another item that I need to improve is to give my students more opportunities to develop self-assessmemt and identify their own strengths. I don´t do that because of lacking of time. However, now I have realised that it is an essential aspect of the assessment and it is so useful for my students, so I will propose more self-assessment opportunities to my students.
