Doing Some Math
25% of the fish in a bowl are guppies. The same number of guppies as were originally in the bowl are added. What percentage of the bowl is now guppies?
Summative or Formative?

Session Overview
Assessment: Every Student a Winner It’s About Balance: Assessment OF and
FOR Student Learning Assessing (Common Core) Standards-
based Student Learning – Smarter Balanced and Beyond
Using Assessment to Promote Learning
By the end of the session you will be able to say:
I can describe assessment of and for learning and I understand the components of a balanced approach to instruction and assessment.
I understand the summative, interim, and formative components of the Smarter Balanced assessment system.
I can identify tools and strategies that support using assessment to inform teaching and to engage students in their own learning.
Considerations for Our Work Together
Multiple hats: learner, teacher, leader Application to your learning
and your work Look for “gold nuggets” Postpone distractions Protocols for coming together
Assessment:Every Student a Winner!
Assessment Experience #1
Think of a negative experience you’ve had being assessed…What made it negative?What effect did it have on you?
Doing Assessment Right
“You can enhance or destroy students’ desire to succeed in school more quickly and permanently through your use of assessment than with any other tools you have at your disposal.”
Rick Stiggins
Unproductive ResponsesI don’t know what to do I don’t get it I’m probably too stupid I give up
Productive Responses I know what to do I can handle this I choose to keep trying
Student Responses to Assessment Experiences
Assessment OF and FOR Learning: It’s About Balance
Why do we assess?
Why do we assess?
Inform instructional decisions Encourage students to try to learn
We must assess accurately, and use results effectively in order to make sure students react productively to the assessment results.

Smarter BalancedTheory of Action
All students leave high school college and career ready
Adaptive summative assessments
benchmarked to college & career
readinessCommon Core State Standards
specify K-12 expectations for college and career readiness
Teachers can access formative tools and
practices to improve
instruction
Interim assessments that are flexible and
open
Assessing (Common Core) Standards-based Student Learning
Assessing Standards-based Student Learning
We’re not assessing standards, we’re assessing standards-based student learning.
Students must demonstrate standards-based learning in multiple ways that reflect the:Content of the mathematics standards Standards for Mathematical PracticeInstructional shifts
Assessing Standards-based Student Learning
Integrated approach to instruction and to assessmentStandards are not a checklistMultiple standards embedded in one item or
across a cluster of items Deliberately planned interaction among the
content of the standards, the standards for mathematical practice, the instructional shifts, and the assessment strategies
Assessing Standards-based Student Learning: Smarter Balanced Approach
Key concepts underlying the Smarter Balanced approach to assessment aligned to the common core standards Claims Targets Depth of Knowledge
Smarter Balanced Assessment Claims: Mathematics
• Students can explain and apply mathematical concepts and interpret and carry out mathematical procedures with precision and fluency.
Concepts & Procedures
• Students can solve a range of complex well-posed problems in pure and applied mathematics, making productive use of knowledge and problem solving strategies
Problem Solving
• Students can clearly and precisely construct viable arguments to support their own reasoning and to critique the reasoning of others
Communicating Reasoning
• Students can analyze complex, real-world scenarios and can construct and use mathematical models to interpret and solve problems
Modeling & Data Analysis
Smarter Balanced Assessment Targets: Mathematics
Provide more detail about the content and depth of knowledge
Generated from cluster headings Support the development of tasks & items
Grade 3 Concepts & Procedures: Solve problems involving the four operations, and identify and explain patterns in arithmetic.
Grade 8 Problem Solving: Apply mathematics to solve well-posed problems arising in everyday life, society, and the workplace.

Observe: What do these results say about student achievement (just the facts)?
Infer: What do these results suggest and what else do you need to know?

Using Formative Results: Students
How could we get students more involved in understanding and acting on formative feedback?Assessment for Learning strategies
Seven Strategies of Assessment for Learning
1. Provide a clear statement of the learning target2. Use examples and models of strong and weak
work3. Offer regular descriptive feedback4. Teach students to self-assess and set goals5. Design focused lessons6. Teach students focused revision7. Engage students in self-reflection; let them
keep track of and share their learning
Turn & Talk: Formative Assessment

We must assess accurately, and use results effectively in order to make sure students react productively to the assessment results.
Assessment:Every Student a Winner!
Assessment Experience #2
Think of a positive experience you’ve had being assessed…What made it positive?What effect did it have on you?
Using Assessment to Promote Student Learning
Why do we assess?Inform instructional decisionsEncourage students to learn
Help teachers and students answer:Where am I going?Where am I now?How do I close the gap?
Using Assessment to Promote Student Learning
Using rich, high-quality tasksSharing & shifting the cognitive “heavy lifting”
in mathematical thinking our classroomsWhen students are confronted with a
challenging math problem, rigorous instruction involves helping students clarify their thinking about the task, and letting them come up with approaches and solutions….
