Editable Posters with Learning Goals and Scales
The Leveled Assessments for ELA are designed with the idea that students learn skills and understand concepts in a progressive way. Instead of presenting students with an assessment that is pass or fail, right or wrong, this assessment recognizes what a child already knows in incremental steps (usually scales 1-2), and creates a clear model of what the child is expected to understand by the end of the year (scales 3-4).
Inspired by Marzano's research in “The Art and Science of Teaching” this assessment breaks down every READING standard into four scales from 1-4 (levels of difficulty), with a learning goal statement accompanying each one. The domains of WRITING, SPEAKING, LISTENING, and LANGUAGE are supported with student guides and rubrics so that you can integrate them into your own classroom assignments and activities easily. This makes pre- and post-testing a matter of planning, and not an EXTRA assessment that students have to stress over, or you have to plan extra time for. This are quick and easy to use, so that you can realistically assess a students progress multiple times throughout the year. YEAH!
The following learning goals and scales are designed with the idea that students learn skills and understand concepts in a progressive way. The scale is broken down into four categories, 1-4, for each common core standard. Each category has its own learning goal. These levels can also be aligned to Bloom’s or Marzano’s Taxonomy of easiest – hardest cognitive skills (Recall/Retrieval, Comprehension, Analysis, and Knowledge Utilization).
4. Level 4 indicates an advanced knowledge of the skill.
3. Level 3 represents proficiency in each math standard. see the stars*
2. Level 2 will include content from the previous grade level and new vocabulary that must be applied correctly for mastery of level 3.
1. Level 1 will either be derived from sub-skills of the standard, or from the background knowledge of earlier grade levels.
