Module 8 PYP

Task 1 - Unpacking Assessment Criteria Discussion Board Post

PYP Scope and Sequence documents are posted in the Module 6 resource folder. Review the PYP scope and sequence documents for the various subjects - learning outcomes are identified for each subject for different grades/ages/phases.

In your discussion board post: Identify an assessment task you have created/used in the past (or one you could see yourself using)– link this task to one of the subject scope and sequences. Take two learning outcomes you could assess using your identified task and identify four different levels of competency-  write descriptors of those levels of competency that are task specific to the task you have chosen.

Give feedback to another person on their post. Please give feedback on their task specific levels of competency by responding to their post – Is it clear? Is it specific enough? Will students be able to understand the expectations? Will these levels help students identify possible areas of challenge as well as strength?

Module 8 MYP

Task 1: Unpacking Assessment Criteria – Discussion Board Post

From the general assessment rubrics (in your subject guide) to task-specific rubrics.

Using the MYP subject guide (which you have used in previous modules and can be found in the resource folder for module 6, identify the assessment criteria (aligned with the objectives) for your chosen subject and grade level (criteria is provided for MYP Year 1, Year 3 and Year 5).

(i) Identify an assessment task you have created/used in the past that might serve to build towards one of the subject objectives from the guide for your subject.

The task I will use is: ________ (if you don’t have one that fits from the past, please create one)

(ii) Take the assessment objective and criteria you have chosen to use with this task and create a rubric. Make the rubric specific to the task you have chosen and show the different levels of achievement towards that objective through task specific criteria in the rubric levels. The criteria in the guide is written quite generally, so in thinking about the task you have chosen, write in more specific, concrete terms how students would meet the criteria for the specific task you’ve designed (do so for each achievement level).

** Please give one other person feedback on their task specific criteria by responding to their post – Is it clear? Is it specific enough? Will students be able to understand the expectations? Will it help students identify possible areas of challenge as well as strength?

The task I will use is: ________ (if you don’t have one that fits from the past, please consider a new one)

The two objectives I will focus on are: _________________

(ii) Take these two assessment objectives you would use for this task and create a rubric. Make the rubric specific to the task you have chosen and show the different levels of achievement towards that objective through task specific criteria in the rubric levels.
