Template found HERE
Overview
Students will work with a client in the development and implementation of assessment. Students will create an assessment plan for a lesson or unit of instruction. The assessment plan will include the development of a measurement instrument. (Course Objectives 1 – 6)
This plan will be implemented through the next assignment, Assignment 3: Assessment Implementation.
Instructions
For this assignment, you will perform the role of a technology coach to help an educator design assessment into technology-enhanced instruction. You may work with another teacher in your school, a teacher in a different school, or someone who is in charge of education in another organization, such as a university, a corporation, a healthcare organization, the military, or a nonprofit organization.
You will coach the educator or trainer in the development of an assessment plan for a lesson or unit of instruction that includes a student-constructed response in the form of a product or performance and measured by a rubric. See page 51 of Butler and McMunn (2014) and pp. 147-148 of Brown and Green (2015), or visit the appendix at the bottom of this document for clarity on an assessment that involves student-constructed response . The unit or lesson should include at least one other form of assessment (remember, teachers are constantly checking students’ understanding, so this second form can be quite informal and brief). The relevant lesson or unit must be “technology-enhanced” (e.g., learners are required to use technology to complete an assignment). Do not implement this in your own classroom. You need to submit client details here: Survey: Submitting Client Information.
Note for Georgia Certified Educators: In addition to the above expectations, if you are a Georgia-certified educator who will be earning a certificate upgrade or adding a new field for Instructional Technology with this program, be sure to work with a certified educator as your client (not a para pro or uncertified educator).
You need to look up their Georgia Certification ID# here: http://www.gapsc.com/Certification/Lookup.aspx. You must coach another certified educator.
Purpose
By completing this assignment, you will be able to do the following:
● coach others to develop a plan for assessing students’ learning with technology-enhanced instruction; and
● coach others to develop a rubric for the learning assessment
Template
When you’re ready to get started, visit my Google Docs copy of the Template, and make your own copy (File–>Make a Copy). You will use your copy of the template for both Assignment 2 and Assignment 3. Be sure to make your copy visible to anyone with the link. You do this through the blue Share button in the upper right-hand corner of your copy of the template.
Assignment Resources
When this assignment was originally developed, students followed examples of assessment plans from GeorgiaStandards.org, but the Georgia Department of Education is no longer maintaining the database of examples. Therefore, I am providing you with a link to examples of student work from MEDT 7476 from Spring 2014. Dr. Haynes (another prof in our department) gave a presentation at ISTE 2014 in Atlanta that was related to the projects in MEDT 7476. Projects used with permission from Kimberly A and Tanika T. Key elements of the projects are linked below:

Implementation
Implementation
For the instructional content, you may use a lesson or unit of instruction developed by you in another class such as MEDT 7464 or MEDT 7468 or instruction developed by the person you are coaching. Either way, for this assignment, you must include the components shown below.
Please note that the examples are in a different format than our current assignment. This semester, there is a provided template that outlines Assignment 2 for you!
How Assignment 2 Segues into Assignment 3
Keep in mind the person you are coaching will implement the instruction and assessment later this semester. This assignment is in the planning phase. In a later assignment (Assignment 3: Assessment Implementation), you will analyze the results of the assessment data and write a report of your findings. Be sure to keep in mind your available target audience (e.g., students in a class, students in an after-school program, employees in a workplace, senior citizens visiting a community center, teachers in a professional development class, or others).
Components to Include
You are required to use the template for completing both Assignment 2 and Assignment 3. Inside the template, you will find detailed instructions related to each component. The template contains detailed instructions for each component. Read the template.
Assessment
See the rubric inside of CourseDen for assessment of this assessment.
Appendix
Remind Me, What’s a Constructed Response Assessment?
For your coaching experience with your client, we want you to do more than just coach them to implement a “selected response” assessment with multiple-choice, true/false, matching, listing, fill-in-the-blank types of “quiz” or “test” questions. Rather, we want your coaching experience to center on technology-enhanced instruction related to using assessment of students’ constructed responses. After all, this is where technology is most able to help us help learners develop more knowledge, skill, and ability related to critical thinking, problem-solving, and creating. Constructed responses may take many forms. They could be products (e.g., essays, portfolios, projects, websites, etc.) or performances (e.g., debates, demonstrations, recitals). See page 51 of Butler and McMunn (2014) or pp. 147-148 of Brown and Green (2015) for a quick review.
