FEEDBACK SPIRALS IN YOUR LIFE Reflect on a time in your life when rich data from assessment energized a spiral for your continuous learning. Share it with others.

ASSESSMENT DATA SHOULD PROVIDE FEEDBACK:. Precise, timely & frequent.. Useful to the teacher in making instructional decisions.. Useful to the learner to improve performance.. Appropriate to stage of development

ð JOURNALS ASSESSMENT STRATEGIES:

JOURNAL ENTRIES Listening with Empathy and Understanding Listening before prejudging someones contribution makes sense. Being patient helps. I was surprised at the great ideas and how much everyone added. Sir Francis Drake High School, San Anselmo, California

JOURNAL ENTRIES Metacognition: I sometimes have to talk to myself and tell myself to work harder, or to stop slacking. They give us time to think about everythingall of our actions and work and that is something that really helps. Not many kids get that; its so neat. Sir Francis Drake High School, San Anselmo, California

JOURNAL ENTRIES Persistence: In the last project when I couldnt have been more stressed. I wanted to quit and walk away, but no matter how much I wanted to give up because I had no idea what I was doing or how it was going to be done, no matter how much I wanted to throw the Makita because it wasnt working, no matter how much responsibility I was forced to take on I stuck with it until the end always knowing (hoping) it would turn out great.

STUDENT DEVELOPED RUBRIC FOR CLASSROOM BEHAVIOR 4Don't talk. Sits on chair and lissens to teacher. Works hard. Good. 3 Talks a little. Sits on chair and mostly lissens to teacher. Works. Pretty good. 2Talks a lot. Sits on knees and maybe lissens. Works a little bit. Bad. 1They talk loud and never lissens. Walk all around. Don't write a thang. Bad to the bone!

ð ART WORK ASSESSMENT STRATEGIES:

When I was doing this work, I was thinking about how hard the kids at Furr had to work and what they had to overcome in order to succeed. The body is the body of a student and the head represents our mascot, the bull. The uplifted hand stands for persistence. Juan, Furr High School Houston, Texas
