about learners. Read and evaluate if you
could relate to these statements.
• Take turns sharing your experiences to
your groupmates.

type of teachers before? Or
can you relate yourself to one
of them?
• What can you say about their
way of teaching?
• Is there a way to improve
learning particularly classroom
assessment?

Importance of Collaborative Assessment in a 21st-Century Classroom

•Collaborative assessment must be part

of our learning today.

•We, as educators are doing our

learners a disservice if we don't
attempt to make this type of
assessment available to our learners.
•Most modern work environments involve
some type of collaboration or connected
problem-solving to enhance productivity.

•However, the inevitable barriers surface in

the form of social and digital media taboos.
Opportunities for New Learning
Connections

•When you tear down the taboos

associated with social and digital media,
learners can thrive in an environment
that is collaborative, engaging, and
purposeful.
•This collaboration can lead to a new
audience of constrictive critics and
opportunities for new learning
connections. Learners have the chance to
receive constructive feedback in a
collegial, safe environment.
• By promoting this style of assessment, we
foster the building of new learning
communities.

• We empower our learner’s voice and give

them the opportunity to build vast learning
networks that will endure.
•This is the type of
assessment that
matter.
•We must encourage
collaborative
assessments in all
facets of learning.
Planning for Collaborative Assessment
Consider…
• The learner’s strengths and interests
• The teacher’s strengths and interest
• Department standards (MELC)
• Grade level standards
• School and community resources

Steps for Collaborative Assessment

• Plan for the common THEME

• Lay down clear objectives and criteria

to demonstrate what you want to
measure, and a rubric that defines clear
expectations.
• Organize into work groups.

• Define the roles needed for the task and

allow the opportunity to use various
technologies.

• Don't suggest or define a specific tool.

Or we can have this.
Steps for Collabora9ve Assessment
• 1: Set clear objectives and tasks
• 2: Allow for open collaboration
• 3: Allow access to learning tools
• 4: Limit explicit direction
• 5: Define clear expectations

It's simple, painless, and in the end, will yield a more attractive
product to review and showcase.
 • Asking learners to have discussions
about content is a simple but
effective way to encourage them to
work together and assess their
contributions to and knowledge of
the subject at hand. To make a
discussion truly collaborative, it

should have specific guidelines and
focus on questions that spark sharing
and creativity.
• Just like in a discussion, assigning
roles to each student can facilitate
group work by ensuring each
learner knows what they are
responsible for and encouraging
everyone to pull their weight.
Another way of doing this is to
incorporate a mix of both individual
and collaborative parts in the
assignment.
• Peer review is a great way to reap benefits
of collaboration on otherwise solitary
activities. It can be intimidating to give
feedback to a peer or to be evaluated by
one, so peer review should be designed to
maximize the impact and minimize the
discomfort.
 These are but few of the
various strategies we can use
to facilitate collaboraHve
assessment in the classroom.
Why Collaborative Assessment is Worth Trying?

•We must promote dynamic,

inquiry driven learning that
provokes critical thinking and
fosters adaptability.
•We have the ability to connect
and challenge our learners.
•We cannot pretend like the future is
coming, the future is now, and we
must give our learners the best
opportunity to learn today.

It’s

Time
• Work in groups (4 groups)
• Choose one learning competency in Mathematics
and design a learning episode that will highlight
the use of collaborative assessment. You can
design one activity in Math and discuss how other
learning areas (English, Science, Arts etc.) can use
the same to measure their respective
competencies.
• Write a Daily Lesson Log for your learning
episode.
• Get ready for the demonstration!
• Daily Lesson Log (DLL) for the chosen
learning competency.
• Activity package containing all the activity
sheets and other resources of the lesson.
• Session Reflection (What are your
learning takeaways for this session)
for a job well done!
