Assessment as a Warmup

With numerous changes to evaluation systems we are all looking for a way to accumulate quantitative performance data in a subject area in which students create qualitative products.  I struggled to find a way to do this in my classroom that was relevant and required minimal time.  My inspiration came from Dana Orton at Falcon Middle School and Andrea Slusarski at Gateway High School.  They have a great website that gave me a place to start.

I took their concept and added/changed some things to make this concept work for me.  Students self-assess 3 times a course.  They are asked to consider how they have grown, their own knowledge, and the development of their skills.  I provide this as an online survey.

I have my students complete their assessment as a warmup.  It's posted in their Google Classroom.  I keep it short and limit the survey to the five, primary, objectives I wanted students to reach.  It provides me with data that I can use for my evaluation that is relevant and helps students learn how to self-assess.

Pre, mid-term, and post course data in the time it takes to complete a warmup.
