PRINCIPLES TO GUIDE ASSESSMENT
Confidentiality
Do not post grades
Do not have students grade other students
work
Do not give back examinations so others can
see students grade
GUIDELINES FOR BEHAVIORAL OBJECTIVES
It is also reductionism
Also determined by type of material --> dont put a lot of weight on higher
mental activity category for unit on memorizing state capitals --> dont
put a lot into recall for drama class on risk taking and creative dance
Weight start simple --> four topics, divide into 4, then maybe add bit
more to topic you are particularly interested in, or figure students will
be interested in, etc.
