3c: Engaging students in learning 3d: Using Assessment in Instruction The learning tasks and activities, materials, resources, instructional groups and technology are poorly aligned with the instructional outcomes, or require only rote responses. The pace of the lesson is too slow or rushed. Few students are intellectually engaged or interested.

The pacing of the intellectually engaged. lesson is appropriate, providing most students the time needed to be intellectually engaged. Virtually all students are intellectually engaged in challenging content, through well-designed learning tasks, and suitable scaffolding by the Coordinator, and fully aligned with the instructional outcomes. In addition, there is evidence of some student initiation of inquiry, and student contributions to the exploration of important content. The pacing of the lesson provides students the time needed to intellectually engage with and reflect upon their learning, and to consolidate their understanding. Students may have some choice in how they complete tasks and may serve as resources for one another. 3C There is little or no assessment or monitoring of student learning; feedback is absent, or of poor quality. Students do not appear to be aware of the assessment criteria and do not engage in selfassessment. 3D Assessment is used sporadically to support instruction, through some monitoring of progress of learning by Coordinator and/or students. Feedback to students is general, and students appear to be only partially aware of the assessment criteria used to evaluate their work but few assess their own work. Questions/prompts/ assessments are rarely used to diagnose evidence of learning. Assessment is regularly used during instruction, through monitoring of progress of learning by Coordinator and/or students, resulting in accurate, specific feedback that advances learning. Students appear to be aware of the assessment criteria; some of them engage in self-assessment. Questions/prompts / assessments are used to diagnose evidence of learning. Assessment is fully integrated into instruction, through extensive use of formative assessment. Students appear to be aware of, and there is some evidence that they have contributed to, the assessment criteria. Students selfassess and monitor their progress. A variety of feedback, from both the Coordinator and peers, is accurate, specific, and advances learning. Questions / prompts / assessments are used regularly to diagnose evidence of learning by individual students. 10 All rights reserved to Charlotte Danielson
