How to Conduct Effective Assessments

In the glorious autumn light and golden breeze, ASJ welcomed Ms. Apple Li, IB PYP workshop trainer, IB consultant, IB visiting officer and authorizing officer, to the school to discuss assessment in the primary school program with the PYP teachers.

With the central idea of "reliable assessment builds students' understanding of the world, develops their skills and enables them to share new attitudes and understand who they are as learners," the teachers, led by Apple Li, took an interesting journey through discussing the meaning of assessment and how to do it effectively by integrating their own assessment experiences.

Assessment experience sharing

Through various activities such as "rainbow candies" and "cocktail party", the teachers shared their assessment experiences with one another in a relaxing and enjoyable atmosphere. Under the guidance of Ms. Apple, they set their personalized training objectives based on their assessment experiences, which made the training more relevant.

The Meaning of Assessment

"Students become effective and self-regulated learners when they are able to actively self-assess and incorporate constructive comments/informative feedback. Teachers become more effective when they are constantly learning what their students know and can do.

When parents and legal guardians know their children's learning goals and the progress their children are making, they are more informed in helping their children.

When schools use assessments as a tool to evaluate the depth of their own curriculum and the effectiveness of their instruction, they become more influential learning communities."

Based on the previous knowledge about assessment each subject teacher expressed his or her own views and explored the meaning of assessment in depth from his or her own subject perspective.

How to Conduct Effective Assessments

So in what aspects should we assess students? And what assessment strategies should we choose?

"There are four aspects of assessment in primary program: examining learning, recording, measuring, and reporting. Each aspect has its own function, but all are intended to inform learning and teaching. Although these four aspects of assessment are not weighted equally, each has its own importance and value. The primary program focuses on the examination and documentation of learning because these two aspects are critical to providing viable input/informative feedback to learners." (From Principles into Practice,IBO )

Led by Ms. Apple, the teachers brainstormed many pre-assessment, formative assessment, and summative assessment strategies, making them realize that assessment occurs in all stages of teaching and learning, and that only by learning how to assess students in a variety of ways can students grow and improve themselves through assessment and become a true "booster" for their students.
