Questions and Scoring Guides ||

Frame questions to be used diagnostically to inform instruction. Use questioning strategies to deepen students’ understanding and reasoning proficiencies. Structure class discussions for formative and summative use. Conduct conferences, interviews, and oral exams to obtain accurate information about student achievement. Use student journals and logs as assessment //for// learning tools. ||
 * Learning target(s) this selection addresses:

With this selection, I created an oral assessment. I structured the questions to use as a summative assessment. I had to incorporate what I had learned about 4 types of learning targets. I used the assessment development guidelines from chapters 5, 6, and 7 to create the questions. I used information gained from chapters 6 and 7 to develop rubrics to each question. I wanted to include this in my portfolio as a tool for myself to create more successful oral assessements whether they are designed as formative or summative.
