Artefact 1: Different types of assessment used for a unit on Shape

This is two pages of a formal diagnostic pre-test used that I used at the beginning of a unit on shape. It was used to help me understand what
level students were at so that I could make sure my unit of work covered everything that students found difficult.


These I can statements
allowed me to meet
standard 5.4, as I was able
to use them to interpret
the assessment data
based on what students
should know about shape.
I was also able to compare
these statements with
what should be covered in
AusVELS.

These statements also
allowed me to meet
standard 5.5, as I was able
to use them as evidence,
along with the tests to
help me report to my
supervising teacher about
the grade threes
understandings of
geometry and shape.

After marking the grade 3s formal diagnostic pre-assessments from above, I was then able to put my findings into the Annotated checklist
table below for each student in the class. This artefact only shows one page. I used this as a form of ongoing formative assessment that helped
to keep track of everything I needed to cover in the unit in order to meet students learning needs.

The first column in
this table allowed me
to meet standard 5.3
because by recording
my observations, I was
able to constantly
make consistent and
comparable
judgements about
student learning and
development through
out the entirety of the
unit. With these
judgements and
comparisons I was
also able to group
students into same-
ability groupings to
meet their learning
needs.

I was also able to use
these observational
anecdotal notes in
order to keep my
supervising teacher
updated about student
progress, thus meeting
standard 5.5.
