After two weeks in Nondalton, I am fully immersed in the Standards Based System. So my first thoughts after watching the videos and contemplating the assessment of Hannah and the students from the School Train are as follows:
• What am I assessing? Was this a technology, cultural or employability standard?
• At what level were these tasks completed? There is a big difference between level 6 and level 8.
• How much involvement did the students have in the video production?
Hannah – She did an awesome job memorizing and acting out her story. If she was nervous the camera didn’t pick it up. Her body motions and voice inflections were those of an experienced storyteller. Hannah displayed self-confidence and mature composure as she told her story. I’ll take a whole classroom of Hannahs. Proficient/Advanced
School Train – I found the music a bit distracting and had a hard time focusing on the content. (As did the bona fide older people that saw the show) The students understand the metaphor of school train, but do they understand metaphors in general? Was that the goal? I’m sure they had great fun making the video and by default, probably learned something. Proficient
