Education: Assessing Student Learning

PURPOSE:
One of the key purposes for assessment is to improve student learning. To improve student learning there must be explicit, targeted, quality teaching. Thus understanding where the students are “at” enables teachers to cater for both individual and group learning. It enables the teacher to provide a learning context that both supports and challenges students (Brady and Kennedy 2009 p 26).
This Assessment task will provide an opportunity for you to assess a sample of student learning and consider the implications for the teaching and learning cycle before you go on placement.
The assignment materials will include a range of samples of student work from Early Years/ Primary/Middle-Senior school in a few different subject areas.

There are two parts to this assignment.
TASK OUTLINE:
PART A: Evaluation of a work sample (1000-1200 words)
Choose one sample of work from the set provided:
Use National Curriculum documents (or your local state/territory or school curriculum) to support your evaluation of the work sample. Your assessment of student work should use a range of resources to support your analysis.
In the first part of this assignment you will need to analyse:
1. What the student can do or areas of strength in the student’s work
2. Areas that require remediation identified in the student’s work.
PART B: Reflection Practice
Assessment as Learning
The second part to this assignment asks you to reflect on your own learning as you completed Part A.
In Part B of this assignment, consider your learning journey in this course about assessment and reporting. In one or two paragraphs summarise your understanding of the key ideas. Then pose two or more questions you will take to your practical placement. These questions might form part of an investigation while you are working in classrooms and can be used to develop further dialogue with colleagues and mentors about issues of assessment. Explain the relevance of these questions to teaching and learning.
