Writing Portfolios for a High Stakes Testing World With the advent of the No Child Left Behind Act and the national movement to standards-driven, outcome-based education, the notion of authentic assessment often takes a back seat to preparation for high-stakes tests. Proponents of standardized assessment tout these tests as the quickest and most efficient method of understanding of a student's acquisition of required knowledge and skills.

From HighStakes testing to assessment for School Improvement that emerge from an annual testing system and the use of assessment to enhance teaching.
http://www.ncrel.org/policy/pubs/html/beyond/stakes.htm

Extractions: Assessment for School Improvement Although accountability for test scores may serve as a catalyst for change by focusing the spotlight on academic success and failure, it provides no substantial inputs into the system. Testing is primarily an outcome-measuring device. Test scores alone are not a sufficient motivator of change. They merely highlight the need for a process that can take the raw data that is collected, analyze it, use that data to inform decision making, and redirect resources to address areas of need. In effect, high-stakes tests are simply one tool that must be supplemented with a variety of inputs that are necessary for continuous school improvement. A primary role for local education leaders in preparing for and responding to the culture of high-stakes testing is to "prime the pump." A district or school must have in place the capacity to respond to increasing calls for external accountability. Without a vision for long-term capacity building to move from a single focus on high-stakes testing to a culture of assessment for school improvement, test scores alone will do little to influence changes in instruction, practice, and eventually student performance. The following five strategies can help school leaders support the use of assessment to promote successful teaching and learning.

PEC: Why Assess In Physical Education Article
While this might not sound very new, after all most of us who teach PE obviously Currently the most widelyused assessments in PE are fitness tests.
http://www.pecentral.org/assessment/assessmentresearch.html

Extractions: By Stephen Jefferies, Toni Jefferies, and Wendy Mustain A major implication of educational reform presently occurring in many states is the expectation that teachers should be able to show what students are learning as a result of their participation in physical education. While this might not sound very new, after all most of us who teach PE obviously know what we are teaching, some different expectations need to be appreciated. First, stating what you are teaching (e.g. basketball dribbling, shooting, and passing) does not adequately answer the question, What are the students learning? In view of the vastly different skill levels of students entering many PE classes, what each individual student will learn by the end of the class will also be different. Second, you should anticipate being able to answer a parent who poses the question, What is my son/daughter learning? or even more specifically, What is it that my daughter/son will be able to do after this class that s/he couldn't do before? Responding to such questions will demand information that many of us do not presently have available.

Extractions: Volume 6, No. 2, Spring 2001 Issues of Assessment in Testing Children Under Age Eight by Gwen G. Stevens and Karen DeBord Abstract: There are differing opinions about the value of using standardized tests to assess the abilities and knowledge of young children. Research with young children (under 8 years old) indicates that using standardized tests for student grade placement or school retention can prove to be harmful to children's ultimate achievements. This article describes the multiple methods that can appropriately be used to evaluate student progress while shaping assessment policies that represent age-appropriate learning goals without using "high-stakes" accountability testing of individual children prior to third grade. Using standardized tests to assess the abilities and knowledge of young children is viewed differently among educators, parents, politicians, and members of the community. Tests that are valid and reliable are extremely important tools when they are used to determine or to assure proper treatment for a child's special learning needs. However, research with young children (under 8 years old) indicates that using standardized tests for student grade placement or school retention can prove to be harmful to children's ultimate achievements. Designing assessment systems Across the nation, school districts are selecting from among standardized measures, school district designed group-administered measures, and open-ended subjectively scored tests to make decisions about school or teacher accountability and student placement.

http://www.ed.gov/pubs/OR/ConsumerGuides/perfasse.html

Extractions: A r c h i v e d I n f o r m a t i o n Number 2 September 1993 WHAT IS IT? Performance assessment, also known as alternative or authentic assessment, is a form of testing that requires students to perform a task rather than select an answer from a ready-made list. For example, a student may be asked to explain historical events, generate scientific hypotheses, solve math problems, converse in a foreign language, or conduct research on an assigned topic. Experienced raterseither teachers or other trained staffthen judge the quality of the student's work based on an agreed-upon set of criteria. This new form of assessment is most widely used to directly assess writing ability based on text produced by students under test instructions. HOW DOES IT WORK? Following are some methods that have been used successfully to assess performance: Open-ended or extended response exercises are questions or other prompts that require students to explore a topic orally or in writing. Students might be asked to describe their observations from a science experiment, or present arguments an historic character would make concerning a particular proposition. For example, what would Abraham Lincoln argue about the causes of the Civil War? Extended tasks are assignments that require sustained attention in a single work area and are carried out over several hours or longer. Such tasks could include drafting, reviewing, and revising a poem; conducting and explaining the results of a science experiment on photosynthesis; or even painting a car in auto shop.

When ELLs with diverse linguistic, cultural, and educational backgrounds enter new educational settings, an initial assessment of their skills and abilities helps educators provide appropriate placement and instruction. Ongoing assessment of student learning provides continuous feedback on the effectiveness of instruction and indicates areas where a change in instructional strategy may be advised. ELLs are required to participate in high-stakes testing programs, as a way of making schools, districts, and state education agencies accountable for their educational progress.

SCIENCE TEACHING RECONSIDERED: A HANDBOOK--2
They get the chance to test their understanding by making predictions and more information on questions as part of assessment, testing, and grading.
http://www.nap.edu/readingroom/books/str/2.html

Extractions: Examples of effective laboratory practices This chapter discusses several methods of teaching science within the traditional formats: lectures, discussion sessions, and laboratories. How can you help your students learn science better and more efficiently in each format? Although there is no universal best way to teach, experience shows that some general principles apply (American Association for the Advancement of Science, 1990a; McDermott et al., 1994; Mazur, 1996): LECTURES Evidence from a number of disciplines suggests that oral presentations to large groups of passive students contribute very little to real learning. In physics, standard lectures do not help most students develop conceptual understanding of fundamental processes in electricity and in mechanics (Arons, 1983; McDermott and Shaffer, 1992; McDermott et al., 1994). Similarly, student grades in a large general chemistry lecture course do not correlate with the lecturing skills and experience of the instructor (Birk and Foster, 1993).

Extractions: Skip global navigation Central missions of the university are teaching and learning. Certainly, within the cycle of teaching and learning, assessment plays a central role. Teachers measure the effects of their pedagogy on student learning; then they use this assessment to improve their pedagogy and, consequently, student learning. As the cycles of teaching, learning, and assessment continue, teaching and learning are examined and improved. Technology is often an essential element of this cycle: it is one tool used to enhance teaching and learning. As such, it should be assessed as well as serve as a means of assessment. More specifically when the terms assessment and technology are used together within a university environment, a variety of concerns arise. First and most significantly is assessment of how student learning is affected by technology. Technology is not neutral; and, as an institution of higher learning, SCSU needs to ensure that technology applications used in the classroom are not negatively affecting classrooms or student learning. Second is using technology to assess student learning. Technology applications such as e-portfolios and other technology structures that support assessment can enable faculty to track individual student learning within SCSU and MnSCU as well as document the overall learning outcomes within academic programs.
