KEEP IN MIND TO
By creating assessment processes that demonstrate student competence and by offering alternative tasks,
methods and tools for assessing the same outcomes, teachers can provide for reliability in their assessment
of student learning.
• the task or product - what you want students to do. For example, tasks,
activities, portfolios, projects, tests, presentations, standardised external
exams. By using a variety of assessment tasks you can provide a range of
evidence of student learning. The more information gathered, the clearer is
the picture of a student’s learning profile. Evidence needs to be gathered and
recorded from a variety of sources.
• the method of evaluating - how you will observe learning through the task.
For example, through observing a presentation, questioning a student,
monitoring students on task, getting students to self-reflect or peer assess.
• the tools that enable you to record and mark evidence of learning. For
example, scoring keys, rubrics, rating scales, checklists and continua provide
different means of making statements about student work in relation to the
learning outcomes.
