In this task, you will develop an assessment system for an instructional unit. For that instructional unit, you will plan out all the assessments that will be used as part of the unit. First, you will create an overview of the assessment system, including the types, number, and frequency of assessments that will be administered. Then, you will describe various assessments, beginning with the end-of-unit assessment, which should frame the development of the other assessments, followed by the pre-assessment, parallel assessments, and formative assessments. Finally, you will explain how the measurement topic for this unit relates to the district or state benchmark or interim assessments used at your school.
A. Develop an assessment system for an entire instructional unit (minimum length of 20 instructional days) by doing the following:
1. Identify one subject and grade level for the instructional unit.
2. Submit a copy of the standards used for the instructional unit.
Note: Remember to cite the source of each identified standard.
3. Create an overview of the assessment system for the unit (minimum length of 20 instructional days), including the types, number, and frequency of assessments that will be administered for the context specified in part A1.
4. Explain how the assessment continuum of the assessment system supports mastery of the standards submitted for part A2.
B. Describe the end-of-unit summative assessment and how it aligns within the assessment system.
C. Describe the pre-assessment and how it aligns within the assessment system.
D. Describe the parallel assessments for this unit and how they align within the assessment system.
E. Describe how you will strategically use formative assessments on a recurring basis within your assessment system, including which types of formative assessments you will use.
F. Explain how the measurement topic for this unit relates to the benchmark or interim assessments from the district or state level.
You must use the attached rubric to direct the creation of your submission because it provides detailed criteria that will be used to evaluate your work. Each requirement below may be evaluated by more than one rubric aspect.
