3 Resources - Assessment
Educators are amazing people. Not only do they dedicate their lives to the development of future generations, they are also incredibly giving. So many educators create something to solve a problem, and instead of hoarding that idea, they send it out into the world for others to use.
From time to time, I’m going to share some of the amazing resources I’ve found throughout my career in the hopes that others find them useful as well.
Authentic Assessment Toolbox - This is a site created by Jon Mueller to not only describe and teach about authentic assessment but also includes a tool to great your own assessments. This dives into standards, tasks, rubrics, and more. In special education, we are always having to create specialized assessments to demonstrate student learning. This takes the guesswork out of it and ensures the assessments are appropriately designed and used.
IQs Corner - This is a blog by Dr. Kevin McGrew where he writes about cognitive assessment, cognitive developmental theories, and other related topics. For teams using a patterns of strength and weaknesses model of identification for specific learning disability evaluations, Dr. McGrew writes extensively on CHC theory.
Assessment Strategies - Modules provided to staff at Queens University to help in the understanding and development of assessments for courses there. A great resource for learning the intent behind assessments, their role in the learning process, and how to create assessments that are relevant, accurate, and appropriate for your purpose.
