Study Guide C Study Guide for Assessment in Perspective Assessment is an integral part of instruction For the past decade the focus on assessment ?? particularly via high-stakes mandated tests ??has shifted away from the classroom and left teachers feeling as if they are drowning in data Assessment is and needs to again become much more than a number Assessment in Perspective is about moving beyond the numbers and using assessment to ?nd the stories they tell This book helps teachers sort through the myriad of available assessments and use each to understand di ?erent facets of their readers It discusses how to use a range of assessment types ?? from reading conference notes and student work to running records and state tests ??together to uncover the strengths and weaknesses of a reader The authors share a framework for thinking about the purpose method and types of di ?erent assessments They also address the questions they ask when choosing or analyzing assessments ? What type of tool do we need diagnostic formative or summative formal or informal quantitative or qualitative ? How do we use multiple assessments together to provide an in- depth picture of a reader ? When and how are we giving the assessment ? Do we want to be able to compare our readers to a standard score or do we need to diagnose a reader ? s needs ? Which area of reading does this tool assess ? How can we use the information from assessments to inform our instruction ? What information does a particular assessment tell us and what doesn ? t it tell us ? What additional information do we need about a reader to understand his or her learn- ing needs Copyright ? by Clare Landrigan and Tammy Mulligan The book emphasizes the importance of triangulating data by using varied sources both formal and informal and across multiple intervals It explains the power of looking at di ?erent types of assessments side-by-side with displays to ?nd patterns or inconsistencies What ? s more students are included as valuable sources of data Letting students in on the process of assessment is key to helping them set goals monitor their own progress and celebrate growth When assessment is viewed in this way instruction can meet high standards and still be developmentally appropriate The Common Core State Standards are one of the biggest changes in our nation ? s history in terms of education and assessment Tammy and Clare remind us that although the Common Core is telling us ??as teachers ??what we need to teach our kids it also suggests that we need to be the ones to orchestrate how we will teach and assess the standards Assessment in Perspective o ?ers strategies to navigate the assessment process with students in classrooms within and across grade levels The following are suggestions to help groups of educators read discuss and extend the ideas from Assessment in Perspective into classrooms These ideas will come to life
