IV. Assessment and Evaluation

 

IV.C

Teachers apply multiple methods of evaluation to determine students appropriate use of technology resources for learning, communication, and productivity.

 

  Developing Approaching Meets Exceeds
Apply multiple methods of evaluation Knowledge of methods for evaluating student understanding of appropriate uses of technology tools for specific learning tasks is not sufficient. Several methods of assessing student use of technology tools for specific learning tasks are occasionally employed. Multiple assessment measures are consistently used to assess student use of technology in learning tasks and to inform instructional decisions. Multiple assessment measures are consistently used to assess student use of technology in learning tasks and to inform instructional decisions. Additional assessment measures are sought and critically examined.
Assess student learning Application of appropriate tools and resources for assessing technology use to improve student learning in the context of lessons and units is one-dimensional, inconsistent, or inappropriate. Several appropriate tools and resources are periodically employed for assessing technology use to improve student learning in the context of lessons and units. Multiple appropriate tools and resources are consistently employed for assessing technology use to improve student learning in the context of lessons and units. Information is used to modify instruction. Consistently obtained information from multiple appropriate tools and resources in assessing technology use to improve student learning is used to make evaluation decisions about technology use and to alter instructional practice to maximize student learning.
Assess student communication Assessment of students’ use of technology to improve communication is not ongoing and cumulative. Several appropriate assessment tools and resources are used to assess student use of technology for communication. Information about student achievement over time is not always used to inform instruction. Multiple appropriate assessment tools and resources are used to assess student use of technology for communication. Information about student achievement over time is consistently used to inform instruction. Multiple appropriate assessments are used to track student improvement in the use of technology for communication. Information about student achievement over time is consistently used to inform instruction and create new learning opportunities to fit individual needs.
Assess student productivity Students’ use of technology to improve productivity is not consistently assessed. Students’ use of technology to improve productivity is consistently assessed using one or two measures. The data are inconsistently used to inform instruction. Students’ use of technology to improve productivity is consistently assessed using multiple measures. The data are used to inform instruction. Students’ use of technology to improve productivity is consistently assessed using multiple measures. The data are consistently used to inform instruction.
