Creating Instructional Assessment Tasks
Toward the end of some teaching and learning activities, teachers may also want to consider developing a special kind of assessment task referred to as an "instructional assessment task." Instructional assessment tasks are:
- based on an assessment of all the components of the standard at a particular level;
- mirror high stakes assessment tasks and use similar rubrics;
- used at points where the teacher wants to assess whether or not a student or group of students is ready to be assessed more formally for movement on to the next performance level or needs further instruction;
- used to help students to understand how they will be assessed for high-stakes assessment purposes;
- relatively lower-stakes assessments that require less rigor and standardization than high stakes assessment.
For a more in-depth description of instructional assessment tasks and a complete sample task go to Section 5 of Improving Performance, Reporting Results: The Guide to Using the EFF Read with Understanding Assessment Prototype on this Web Site.
