MEDT 7476: Assessing Learning with Technology-Enhanced Instruction

Assignment 3: Assessment Implementation

Remember to continue where you left off on your copy of the Assessment Plan and Implementation Report Template found HERE

For this project, you will now implement the Assessment Plan you developed for Assignment 2: Assessment Plan with a selected client. I need you to submit this project not only to the Assignment 3 dropbox (by the Course Plan deadline) but also to the Key Assessment Dropbox, which is required to receive credit for the assignment.

Assessment Implementation Guidelines
You and the person you are coaching (as indicated in your submission for Assignment 2: Assessment Plan) will follow your assessment plan to create the assessment and implement the plan.

Your submission to the Assignment Submission Upload must follow the linked template and include the following four sections:

Implementation Report
Explain what worked well or did not work well with the assessment implementation. Explain how both the instruction and the assessment went. Use the questions below to help you write this section:
● Did the lesson/activity go as it was planned? If not, what deviated?
● Were the students/participants able to complete the work as directed or did they need clarification on anything?
● Did you get the types of responses or performances you expected?
● What should be done to improve the assessment the next time it is implemented?

Student Example with Feedback
Provide an example of the assessment along with the performance evaluation tool for the assessment item. Make sure that teacher feedback is highlighted/provided on the example.

Report of Impact on Student Learning
After the assessment has been implemented, conduct an analysis of the data. ● First, provide an analysis for the whole group of students. Create a table or graph or another pictorial display that shows the information.
● Next provide an analysis for subgroups of students. For example, you may analyze data for males and females. Refer to the description of learners provided above. You should analyze data according to the characteristics you described. For example, if 15% of the students are Speakers of Other Languages, you should prepare an analysis for that subgroup of students.
● Provide descriptive statistics such as means or percentages, and include the number of students in your analyses. Make sure you are practicing good data literacy (i.e., providing both percentages and totals).
● Write a brief narrative to explain the interpretation of the data for (a) the whole group and (b) the subgroups.

Future Instructional Plans
Work with the person you are coaching to review the data analysis and interpretation. Ask the person you are coaching what should be planned for future instruction. Then write a brief report of the future instructional plans. The following question must be answered as a part of the report.
● What should be done to revise instruction based on areas where students/participants did not perform well?

IMPORTANT NOTE: Do not use the actual names of students who were assessed. Use pseudonyms to ensure confidentiality.

When you have completed everything, you may save all submission items in one pdf. If this is not feasible, based on your materials, do not worry about it. I am not counting this as part of your points for the project.

Be sure to upload the project in the Assignment Submission Dropbox (access through Assessments–>Assignments–>Assignment 3; or through the link I provide you on the Module 4 Activities page in CourseDen) and to the Key Assessment Dropbox to receive a grade for the assignment.
