Subject: Re: [MK8] Questions concerning ASW (Analysis of Student Work) for teachers in NC

I used to assess the first grade one with clickers. If you have access to a set of clickers, it's the easiest way.  I would show them two rhythm pattern choices and they heard a rhythm pattern 3 times (PowerPoint).  5 different examples - done!  Even without clickers, this can easily be done by having them circle A or B on a half-sheet of paper.
For the third grade one, I would just do a 10 question "quiz" with pictures and sound clips with multiple choice answers (could also be done with clickers for quicker scoring). 
But...the bigger question...it's coming up to the end of the year.  If you are to show growth, didn't you already assess their current knowledge earlier in the year?  If you did, you should use the same assessment as the post assessment.

Subject: [MK8] Questions concerning ASW (Analysis of Student Work) for teachers in NC

Good morning,
Many of you remember different teachers asking about this when it was
instituted in NC.  It is a way for us to be evaluated.  Today, I would like
some opinions on the best way to accomplish two different objectives with
two different grades.
I have to decide a way to accomplish the following two objectives.
For the First Grade, the objective is AE.M.1.ML.2.1
Interpret rhythm patterns that are iconic or standard notation for quarter
notes, quarter rests, and beamed eighth notes.
For third grade, the objective is AE.M.3.MR.1.4
Identify the sounds of a variety of instruments and voices, including many
orchestral instruments from various cultures, children's voices, and male
and female adult voices.
These in theory can be paper and pencil or video clips.
Any suggestions?
Thanks so much,
--
