Why this Work is Important
- Currently many assessment items are only loosely aligned (at a topic level) with state and national content standards.
- Assessment items, closely aligned to content standards, can be used diagnostically to find out what students do and do not know about important science ideas.
- Assessment items aligned to content standards can give teachers important feedback on their own teaching.
- Assessment items, closely aligned to content standards, can be used in research—for judging the effectiveness of innovative curriculum materials and instructional practices.
My artifact for this blog is a model of how assessments are connected to Learning outcomes, evaluations, content and key concepts as well as useful with teacher planned activities. The best way to align assessments with standards is to go to the PA standards web page and match the objectives with the standard(s) you want to teach. Your lesson plan objectives, rationale and assessments should all cohesively match.
