The work has focused on translating what is known from the measurement, applied research, and practitioner worlds into concrete ideas for teachers to implement to improve their assessment practices. The particular focus has been on how to improve the assessments teachers use and the way they use them to improve student motivation and learning. SERVE has learned over the years that working on assessment in the classroom is best accomplished within the context of the content area taught. This publication builds on work SERVE has done with districts that are piloting new approaches to professional development in U.S. History through the U.S. Department of Education’s Teaching American History grant program.  \nHow to Assess Student Performance in History: Going Beyond MultipleChoice Tests addresses some real assessment challenges that teachers have identified:  \n● Figuring out what really is important for students to know and be able to do in history.  \n● Teaching the skills of “doing history” in a world of testing that often seems to value only factual knowledge.  \n● Identifying and using assessments that provide teachers with better information than on","cbCaicWDOJ3yy2Ub","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaicWDOJ3yy2Ub","pdf",3260855,64,"English","# Introduction and Overview of Assessment\n## Introduction\n## The Purpose of This Manual\n## What is Classroom Assessment?\n## Anatomy of an Assessment\n# Desired Student Outcomes in History\n## Articulating Course Objectives\n# Methods of Assessment\n## Dialogue and Oral Response\n## Essays and Open-ended Responses\n## Projects and Investigations\n# Establishing Criteria\n## Checklists\n## A Point System\n## Rubrics (Holistic and Analytic)\n# Using Assessment Information: Feedback and Grading\n## Formative Assessment: Providing Feedback\n## Summative Assessment: Grading\n# Some Concluding Thoughts\n## Appropriate Assessments in an Era of Accountability\n## Getting Started\n# References\n# Resources","[{\"question\":\"What challenges does the manual address in history assessment?\",\"answer\":\"It targets challenges such as choosing what matters for students to know and do in history, assessing beyond factual knowledge, and motivating students to produce high-quality written work.\"},{\"question\":\"How does the manual define classroom assessment?\",\"answer\":\"It focuses on assessments teachers use in their own classrooms to improve learning, rather than state or nationally standardized tests.\"},{\"question\":\"What assessment tools are covered for establishing criteria?\",\"answer\":\"The manual presents checklists, point systems, and rubrics, including both holistic and analytic rubrics.\"}]","How to Assess Student Performance in History - Going Beyond Multiple-Choice Tests | PDF",1792057800,161]
