Good Morning everyone!

I’m Teacher Cris and I will explain


to you the evaluation system for this school year.
Since St. Patrick Math-Sci School will implement a Full
Online Distance Learning Program, the assessment and the giving
of feedback shall also be conducted online.
The formative assessment of St. Patrick Math-Sci School will
be conducted by gathering information all the way throughout the
online course. This information will then be used to guide
teaching and to improve learning and performance. The key
component of formative assessment is feedback, whether the
assessment is a graded online quiz, or written assignment, or
student participation in a discussion forum. Formative assessment
will provide:
 Evidence that learners engage and participate;
 Demonstrable measures of learner progress within
the course;
 Ways to give feedback to learners;
 Opportunities for learners to apply their
knowledge and skills and identify where they lack
understanding.

The summative assessment of St. Patrick Math-Sci School


will be conducted by gathering and analyzing students at the
conclusion of an online course whether students have achieved
identified goals. Summative assessments will result in a score or
grade. A culminating online exam or online performance task is
an example of the summative assessment that will be utilized by
the school.

Both assessment activities therefore are integrated into


several parts of the course, providing ongoing feedback. In
assessing student learning, St. Patrick Math-Sci School will follow
this rubric:
In conducting online assessment, St. Patrick Math-Sci School
will schedule the students in this manner:
M/T/TH/F:

8:00-10:00 Grades 1 to 12

10:00-10:15 Snack Break

10:15-11:15 Pre-school Level 3

11:15-12:00 Lunch Break

12:00-2:00 Grades 1 to 12

2:00-2:15 Snack Break

2:15-3:15 Pre-school Level 2

3:15-3:30 Snack Break

3:30-4:30 Pre-school Level 1

In determining where a learner is excelling and where


he/she needs practice, St. Patrick Math-Sci School will
administer:

1. Quizzes

- Quizzes are an excellent way to engage student


learning, particularly when paired with technology.
Quiz answers can take a number of forms, from short
answer to true/false and multiple choice. One benefit
of quizzes is that they are short and easy to assess.
Another is that, with digitally designed quizzes,
question order and options can be randomized, so each
student’s quiz is unique.

2. Fill-in-the-Blank Cloze Activity

- For a quick, short answer assessment tool cloze


activities are a great fill-in-the-blank alternative. To
complete this option, teachers write a series of
statements about important lesson points, replacing
key topic terminology with blank spaces. This is similar
to a multiple choice question, except students have a
wider choice of options in that they must choose the
correct term from a larger word bank, or come up with
the term themselves, based on what they remember
from the lesson. This type of assessment may take the
same form as the quiz above. Teachers can assess via
a digital medium in real time, by asking students to
mark their peers, by collecting and marking overnight,
or a combination thereof.

3. Matching Questions

- Similar to multiple choice questions in quizzes,


matching questions offer students a bank of words or
phrases from which to choose their answers. When
using matching questions, teachers provide text and/or
images and ask students to pick an option from column
A, and the corresponding matching option in column B.
Unlike multiple choice questions, matching questions
are not limited to 3 or 4 options, making matching
questions a little more difficult to solve via process of
elimination. Matching questions are great tools for
minds-on activities. They also work well as diagnostic
and formative assessments, and/or as quiz questions.

4. Forum Post

- Asking students to contribute to a forum post is an


excellent way to gauge student understanding, pique
their interest, and support their learning. In this
activity, students are given a critical thinking question
based on a lesson or a reading, and are asked to
reflect on both. Their answers are posted to a forum
and their peers are given the chance to respond.
Parameters may be set with respect to initial posts and
peer responses. When closed, the teacher can view the
forum to see how students are engaging with the
material.

5. Peer Evaluation and Review

- Participating in a forum fosters communication


between students. Peer evaluation and review allows
students to anonymously review and edit each other’s
work.

6. Poll/Quiz results in real time

- Conducting a student poll is a great way for students to


answer questions truthfully and anonymously, and to
see, in real time, how they stack up to the rest of the
class. Polls are made especially powerful when paired
with a forum post or live quiz. Students may be polled
first, and asked to explain why they voted in the way
they did in a forum post.

7. Exit Cards

- Exit cards, also called “minute papers” are question-


and-answer style tasks that students must complete in
the final 5 or 10 minutes of a class. Though they may
contain questions similar to those covered in the quiz
and fill-in-the-blank sections above, they are most
useful when students are asked to exercise critical
thinking ability in a short answer response. Students
may be asked a single question requiring one or more
sentences, to summarize the main points of the lesson,
or to complete a task, such as solving a math equation
or writing a thematic statement for a piece of
literature. Exit cards are quick to assess, as they
contain only a few sentences at most, but they can
help the teacher gauge student understanding of
learning targets in a short amount of time.

In those ways, the teacher can determine whether the


learner understands the lessons delivered online. If the learner
has difficulty understanding the concepts, then the teacher may
conduct remediation.

The learner’s participation in online learning is tracked with


the use of Learning Management System. In our case, it is the
Kite Academy platform. The parents of learners will be given
access to the said LMS so they can conveniently track on the
performances of their children and immediately make feedback
thereof with the use of the internal messaging system.

Thank you.
