When report card assessments came along it was always such a stressful time. We have checklist type report cards with many different skills to assess per student. UNTIL I created assessment packets!!! These packets have worksheet assessments that align to each skill. I just pull the worksheets that I need for that nine weeks and staple them together. I have the students work on their assessment packet independently at their desk (while they have their offices up). When the students have finished their packet I just grade them and transfer how they did onto their report card. It also helps to have a hard copy of how each student is doing. You can use the assessment packets to show to parents during Parent/Teacher Conferences or just to keep in each student's records. My first grade team uses these same assessments that I have created. That way we know we are assessing the same skills and the same way!
This is a preview of just some of the assessment pages:
Here is how I have all the assessments organized....
I have all the assessments stored in a 3 inch binder.
All the assessments are organized by each 9 weeks.
I have made 9 weeks progress reports which lists the skills that need to be assessed at that time. After the progress report I then put all the assessments I need for that 9 weeks behind it. Each assessment page is in a clear plastic sleeve cover. I usually have multiple copies of each assessment so I can easily pull one if I need to assess a student again.

This is great! However, I don't have access to a color printer. Before I purchase, can you tell me how many pages require color?
ReplyDeleteThanks!
Nothing has to be printed in color. I only have a black and white printer at my school - so that is all I use too. :)
ReplyDeleteThank you!
WoW! I am elated that I found your blog! Although, I am a kindergarten teacher, your ideas will definitely assist me in developing better ways to assess and organize my assessments as well. You are awesome and thanks for sharing!
