 * ==** Assessment Strategies! **==

**My goals for Us as we Journey through this Course Together are to**:
 * 1) Share Assessment and Evaluation procedures with you.
 * 2) Help you understand the different ways that students will be assessed.
 * 3) Be accountable to you!
 * 4) Help you be Successful!

**Getting Started: **

 * The following information is posted to help you understand how Assessment and Evaluation works within Ontario, and SCDSB.

__//Assessment in this Course: //__

 * Throughout this course you will have the opportunity to engage in different forms of assessment throughout our Learning Experiences, to inform your learning and progress within this course ****.**


 * Diagnostic Assessment: **
 * To determine strengths, weaknesses, skills and prior knowledge of learners before instruction begins! This includes our brainstorming, pre-tests, and 'Know-Wonder-Learn' charts that students engage in to help them Activate prior learning, and get them thinking about Learning Goals, and Success Criteria.
 * This practice also enables me to be able to adjust my instructional strategies appropriately before instruction begins, in order to meet the needs of all students, and informs the Differentiated choices that students will have.

**Formative Assessment**:
 * This will regularly throughout each lesson, unit, term, and school year! Here, as students engage in activities, they will acquire, and apply their knowledge, and this provides effective feedback that will help inform my teaching practice, and student learning.


 * Summative Assessment: **
 * <span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">A final task to measure the progress of students. Diagnostic and Formative Assessments will greatly inform our choices and how we bring together our final culminating tasks for each e-tivity.
 * <span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Culminating tasks that bring together all of the information from the module: In terms of eLearning, these can include, but are not limited to: Prezi, Animoto, Sliderocket, Glogster, Wiki, iMovie, and the list can go on.


 * <span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Next, we will look at how the Ministry of Education outlines key Assessment Strategies: ** ||  ||   ||   ||

== __//<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Assessment According to Ontario's Growing Success Document: //__ == <span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Educators in Ontario are to engage in 3 types of Assessment of learners: Assessment for Learning, Assessment As Learning & Assessment of Learning. The following section will explain how these forms of Assessment can be used within education. **Assessment for Learning**: <span style="display: block; font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: medium;">**Assessment as Learning**: <span style="display: block; font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: medium;">**Assessment of Learning**:
 * <span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: medium;">Seeking and interpreting the evidence! As teachers, we use Diagnostic data right from our Introductions, to understand where you are starting from, working from, where you need to go, how best to get there. This is a very fluid process, and based on individual needs.
 * <span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: medium;">This is essentially the Formative Assessment that will take place in the form of ongoing peer feedback, self-assessment, and ongoing instructor feedback. This is to help improve your learning, and enables all students to monitor their progress!
 * <span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: medium;">This is the assessment that essentially becomes part of the public record: whether or not the candidate is Recommended to obtain the Librarianship Part I qualification. You will receive final feedback in the form of written statements about how you have done in the LE, and what you have learned.

**Participation!**

 * <span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: medium;">We hope that all students are able to learn their best. Attending to, and active participation from students is key to learning success.
 * <span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: medium;">Students can show their participation by working cooperatively with other students, sharing experiences, knowledge, ideas and resources; and by providing support to each other during our units.
 * <span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: medium;">Awareness and implementation of the Standards of Practice.
