Module 6 Program Outcome Objectives

Module 6: Assess Student Learning

The focus of module 6 is M-ARC program Outcome 6: Assess Student Learning

Outcome 6 Description: Teachers who achieve Program Outcome 6 appropriately incorporate multiple forms of valid and reliable assessment tools (including diagnostic, formative, and summative) to measure multiple objectives related to the learning goals of the classroom, and regularly check for student understanding. These teachers devise and use systems to track and communicate both individual and class progress to students and stakeholders, based on multiple data sources. They assist students in interpreting their assessment results and applying them to future learning goals.

Outcome 6 includes 3 competencies, which are:

6A. Multiple Forms of Assessment

6B. Criteria for Assessment

6C. Data Monitoring and Reporting

For complete descriptions of each competency view M-ARC's program rubric.

By the end of three week learning cycle session, M-ARC participants will be able to:

Year 1 Cohort Objective: By the end of this online module and participation in the whole group session teachers will show beginning evidence that they have an understanding of the practices associated with assessing student learning. The objective will be assessed via completion of a module reflective assignment and participating in both in-person and online activities.

Year 2 Cohort Objective: By the end of this online module and participation in the whole group session teachers will show developing evidence that they have an understanding the practices associated with assessing student learning. The objective will be assessed via completion of a module reflective assignment and participating in both in-person and online activities.

M-ARC assessment levels:

Insufficient	Beginning (Year 1)	Developing (Year 2)	Embedded (Year 3)
There is little to no evidence that the teacher is employing the practices associated with this outcome.	The teacher is beginning to show evidence of incorporating the practices associated with this outcome into his/her instruction and/or records of practice. The observed practices are employed too ineffectively or inconsistently to successfully demonstrate the target outcome.	The teacher shows evidence of regularly incorporating the practices associated with the program outcome into his/her instruction and/or records of practice. The observed practices are employed somewhat effectively; however more skillful, deliberate execution is needed to successfully demonstrate the target outcome.	There is evidence that the teacher routinely and skillfully incorporates the practices associated with this outcome into his/her instruction and/or records of practice.
