  • EDPD 601  Assessment Design + Evaluation

    Division of Continuing Studies Professional Institute for Educators

    3 credits 42.0 hours
    600 level graduate course

    This course focuses on developing participants’ understanding of the end goals of the educational experience students receive in the classroom; capability to enhance instruction and learning through appropriate student assessments; and ability to provide useful feedback on educational programming. Utilizing the concept of authentic assessment (or “cornerstone” assessments as per Wiggins and McTighe in Schooling by Design, 2007), participants transform the process of teaching and learning into measureable outcomes achievable by all students. Particular attention is paid to: (1) the varied types of assessment necessary for an educational program including formative, summative, diagnostic, and benchmark, (2) the current environment of educational assessment, (3) assessment for project-based learning, (4) assessment instruments and their design, (5) the utilization of assessment data to improve student learning, and (6) the inter-relatedness of curriculum, instruction and assessment in the teaching and learning process. Educators develop an understanding of the different types of assessment and how they fit into a comprehensive system of curriculum, instruction, and assessment. Participants are able to construct a variety of assessments and assessment items to align with classroom instructional objectives. The effective use of data to make informed decisions about curriculum, instruction, and future assessment is discussed.(Open to Educational Program Design majors only)
