Assessment Plan

Purpose and Learning Outcome: Each of the children in the class will learn how to count to five 90% of the time. Each child will count out their own snacks when given to them so it will help them with counting. When the child has a turn counting children they will count at least to five with no help.

Assessment Context: Each of the children can take the correct amount of snack at snack time so if told to take three crackers they will take three crackers. Each of the children will count the children in the class up to five with no help then after with getting help or no help at all.

Holistic Rubric: Each of the students will count out how many snacks they can have. Each student will count to at least five when counting the children in the class, when it is their turn.

Testing Constraints: Working with three and four year olds there are not many tests given to them. The best way to see how well a child is doing is to listen to them while they are playing and with other children. While at work time there can be so many children in each area and the children need to count how many children are in an area before entering the area.

Purpose and Learning Outcome: Each of the children will know the color red and yellow 90%.

Assessment Context: Each of the children can point out red and yellow when asked what color they are looking at or to point to something red or yellow.

Holistic Rubric: Each student will know red and yellow.

Testing Constraints: The children will point out of the color red and yellow.

Test items and essay item(s)

Testing and essays show how well students are doing within the class. Though I think some students do not test well at all. I know for myself I did not test well and did not do so well in school.

"Good multiple-choice items are the most time-consuming kind of objective test items to write. Unfortunately, most multiple-choice items are also written at the knowledge level of the taxonomy of educational objectives" (Kubiszyn, 2010). I have had some test that when you were taking them and you were like who thought up these questions. I have had some where you are not fully sure the right answer but think you do.

"Although essay tests are relatively easy to construct, the items should not be constructed haphazardly; consult the table of specifications, identify only the topics and objectives that can best be assessed by essays, and build items around those" (Kubiszyn, 2010). With one class I took the teacher did mostly essay questions for his tests. For some writing might not come easy for them so they might do poorly on an essay test.

Each test has some form and reason behind them. Even if a student does not do well on a test does not mean they do not know the information. Which is why there are many different type of tests that are given to students.
