• Assessment, Planning and Instruction

Cycle - Planning Model This approach encourages teachers to ‘plan with the end in mind’, linking assessment and evaluation practices to instructional strategies. Assessment in HPE

Growing Success: Improving Student Learning through Assessment

To maximize learning, assessment and instruction must be planned around a clearly defined learning goal for students. Once this learning goal is identified, then determine what the student will have to do to demonstrate they have successfully completed the learning. Only then can the method of instruction for how the student should be taught in

• rder to learn the concept be established.

Growing Success: Improving Student Learning through Assessment

The Assessment, Planning and Instruction Cycle involves the following steps:

• Select applicable curriculum expectations
• Assess before learning
• Plan and implement instructional strategies and

activities

• Assess during learning
• Adapt or adjust the instruction
• Assess after learning.

Growing Success: Improving Student Learning through Assessment

Consider using the following outline to support the Assessment, Planning and Instruction Cycle to plan each unit: Curriculum: What will the students learn? Summary: What do I want students to learn by the end of the unit?

Overall Expectations: Refer to the Health & Physical Education curriculum document for expectations that need to be addressed. Use professional judgment to determine which specific expectations should be used to bring the overall expectations to

• life. Identify the broad ideas associated with

the overall expectations.

How can we create a school community where all are independent learners?

Growing Success: Improving Student Learning through Assessment

Changing the Relationship

The goal of assessment for learning and as learning is to improve learning and to develop independent learners.

Growing Success: Improving Student Learning through Assessment

We are learning to:

• Develop a common understanding of the language of

assessment

• Identify and describe the practices of AfL and AaL,

and how they work together to help students to become independent learners

• Identify what effective implementation of AfL and

AaL looks like in the classroom and in the school

ACTIVITY 1

Growing Success: Improving Student Learning through Assessment

• Read each statement on your place mat and with a

partner decide whether it represents AfL, AaL or AoL

• Compare your responses with a different group.

Where are they the same? Where are they different?

• Share your thinking with the entire group.

By teachers To determine what to do next instructionally (strategies, differentiation) To provide descriptive feedback to students (what they are doing well, what needs improvement and how to improve) By student To determine what to do next in my learning (e.g. strategy, focus) To provide descriptive feedback to peers and self (peer and self assessment) Goal is to become reflective, self‐ monitoring learner By teacher To determine student’s level of achievement of overall expectations at a given point in time As evidence to support professional judgment GS p. 31

Co-creating the Success Criteria

ACTIVITY

• View the video on teaching the volleyball pass
• With a partner share the success criteria that the student must demonstrate to

complete this skill properly

• Share your success criteria with another group
• Share with the entire group

Setting the Stage for Learning

In the classroom, learners:

• Know what they are learning
• Define and apply success criteria
• Give and receive feedback
• Support learning through peer‐assessment
• Monitor their learning through self‐assessment
• Set individual goals
• Engage in strategic questioning and learning

conversations

• Engage in critical and creative thinking
