Test Blueprint

This blueprint template was provided in ED 3604 (Evaluation) to aid in the creation of ELA tests/quizzes. It is a valuable tool because it ensures that test questions are varied in format to address different levels of Bloom's Taxonomy. Also, this tool ensures that test questions are purposefully linked to learning outcomes, not just based on content. I plan to use this template again to create a Short Story Quiz for Grade 11 students when classes resume on April 8.

This handout was provided in ED 3504 (Evaluation) to aid in the creation of rubrics for assignments, performance tasks, oral presentations, etc. The document provides an array of effective criteria words to use in evaluation. Such a valuable tool helps clarify expectations for students and also enables them to be involved and metacognitive in assessment.
RubiStar: Rubric Generator
This website allows users to browse, create, save, and edit rubrics for a variety of different assessment tasks that include oral presentations, visual representations, essays, etc. I have been using this tool to create clear, outcome-based rubrics that I can share with students so that they are aware of expectations and actively involved in assessment. By providing students with a clear and effective rubric and having them evaluate exemplars with it, students gain control over the quality of their products and can be accountable to their work.

The templates in the document above are used in conjunction with any type of unit planning. They are useful because of the outlined developmental process. In Stage 1, users will detail desired results for the unit, established goals, student understandings, and essential questions while in Stage 2, users will highlight assessment evidence they are looking for in student tasks and assignments.
