Reviewers Begin Here:

Based on initial review, what is the primary purpose of the assessment?

Check 1 only / Assessment Purpose:
☐ / Possession: Students demonstrate ownership of declarative and procedural knowledge. Requires basic retrieval and understanding.
☐ / Execution: Students use acquired knowledge and skills to create solutions to problems, make informed, strategic decisions, and respond to the demands of the daily challenges:
☐ / Integration: Students extend and refine knowledge to automatically and routinely analyze and resolve problems and employ solutions. Students must blend knowledge and skills with other disciplines in order to be successful.
☐ / Construction: Students use extensive knowledge and skill in dynamic ways to construct new solutions to current complex known problems, to solve unanticipated problems, and to take action. Their efforts inform our understanding of the necessary knowledge and skills.

Selected method(s) identified to assess articulated standard(s) – check types to be used:

☐ / Selected
Response / ☐ / Constructed

The assessment(s) focuses on assessing skills worth learning. / ☐ / ☐ / ☐ /
The assessment(s) strives to simulate real challenges facing people in field of study or really life. / ☐ / ☐ / ☐ /
The assessment(s) allows for “ill-structured challenges” (more than one right answer). / ☐ / ☐ / ☐ /
The assessment(s) emphasize prompts or tasks requiring thought and knowledge. / ☐ / ☐ / ☐ /
The assessment(s) de-mystifies task, criteria, and standards. / ☐ / ☐ / ☐ /
The assessment(s) allows for activities or topics to ‘match’ student learning student learning styles/interests. / ☐ / ☐ / ☐ /
The assessment(s) require evaluations to be based on explicit criteria and standards of quality / ☐ / ☐ / ☐ /
The assessment(s) involve students in the assessment process in meaningful ways. / ☐ / ☐ / ☐ /
