Assessment Strategies
Eisner's Triangle
Elliott Eisner, The arts and the creation of mind (2002).
Elliott Eisner's offers three criteria that form an assessment framework:
1. Technical: evaluates the precision, skill, and accuracy demonstrated in the students work.
​
2. Inventive: refers to the students ability to create novelty and put their own unique ideas into the project.
3. Expressiveness: the expressive power or aesthetic quality of the students work
Roles of Assessment
Shiela Scott, Rethinking Roles of Assessment (1964)
Shiela Scott's Rethinking Roles of Assessment examines the role of assessment in response to the need to move beyond assigning grades and move towards using assessment to support and enhance learning. She advocates for a holistic and student-centered approach in which students are active in their learning, self-reflective, and formative.
Assessment Tools
Assessment tools reflective of the above strategies used within this curriculum include:
-
Think sheets, self-reflections, listening journals, facilitated discussion, interview, peer sharing/feedback, criteria for inquiry, anecdotal notes, and observation.
