Step Nine: Scoring Guide/ Assessment

The Scoring Guide or Assessment portion of your GSL should include the various forms of assessment you plan on conducting throughout your lesson.  Think formative and summative assessment in this area.


To review:
Formative Assessment: 'for learning'; informal assessment that closes the gap between where the students are and where the students need to be in the learning process.  Discussion questions, activities, and small quizzes- anything that gives the student to ability to see where he/she needs to improve- before a heavily graded assessment.  Formative assessment doesn't always have to be graded.

Summative Assessment: 'of learning'; formal assessment determines what the student has gained from the lesson.  Standardized tests, unit tests, and projects that are graded are often considered summative assessments.

In this portion of your GSL, mention the rubrics as well as any forms of formative and summative assessment you are including and what they assess.  Create two categories (formative, summative) to organize your assessments.

Post questions below.  Review the GSL gallery on the SPN website for examples.
