Sing a Song: Assess Student Learning   Spotlight student success. Share a story or sing a song around the campfire.   Find out what your students have learned. Give them a chance to share and reflect. Assessment isn't about testing and report cards. It should be about helping you and your students understand where you've been and where you still need to go to reach your learning outcomes.   Brainstorm alternative assessments to match your outcome and activity.   Process Assessment concept map conference debriefing diary guided discussion progress report journal log notes observation outline peer evaluation rating scale reflective essay timeline Product Assessment criteria checklist essay inventory peer evaluation portfolio rating scale rubric scored discussion self-evaluation survey teacher evaluation test scores - multiple test scores - open test scores - true/false Developed by Annette Lamb, 4/99.
