  • pewithmrc Feb 27 @ 8:06 PM EST
    A1) AFL would be student centered, AOL, would be for teacher data. Self-assessment vs visual assessment. Tough Question #espechat
  • Mr_C_PE Feb 27 @ 8:07 PM EST
    Interesting way to look at it...what specific things could you do as the T to ensure that AFL was student centered? #espechat

    • Mr_C_PE Feb 27 @ 8:04 PM EST
      Q1) Assessment For Learning (AFL) vs. Assessment Of Learning (AOL). What’s the difference? What would be an example of each in your program? Shout out to @thephysicaleducator and #pechat for inspiring this Q. #espechat
  • GingerAaron Feb 27 @ 8:09 PM EST
    A1) AFL is more formal, mainly summative. AOL helps me to learn where to go, what to do next. Example of AFL: observation for student data checksheet; example of AOL: self/peer assessment using rubric at several points during the lesson or unit. #espechat
  • Mr_C_PE Feb 27 @ 8:09 PM EST
    That is a great method to use in order to the students to really see where they currently are in terms of skill and can then can make a plan to improve #espechat
    In reply to @pewithmrc, @PhysEdDepot
  • Mr_C_PE Feb 27 @ 8:10 PM EST
    No worries Ginger. I see AFL as more formative and AOL as more summative as well! #espechat

    Q2 coming up in 1 minute #espechat

    Took my answer. Plagnets are amazing for self progressions and so much more! #espechat
    In reply to @Mr_C_PE, @pewithmrc, @PhysEdDepot
  • CoachMcKissic Feb 27 @ 8:11 PM EST
    #espechat A1- AOL in my idea would be seeing what was taught. AFL would be a benchmark or pretest to see what needs to be taught.
  • physedwards13 Feb 27 @ 8:11 PM EST
    AOL-guides me for my teaching and what I need to change. AFL-lets me know where the students are at in their are learning. #espechat
  • Mr_C_PE Feb 27 @ 8:11 PM EST
    Indeed...I'm sure we will be seeing #plagnets in a lot of responses tonight within the chat! #espechat

  • Mr_C_PE Feb 27 @ 8:12 PM EST
    Q2) Peer assessments can be an effective use of your time as a teacher, as well as being beneficial for your students. Do you feel grading peer assessments for a summative assessment of learning is an appropriate practice? Why or why not? #espechat
  • PerkettPE Feb 27 @ 8:12 PM EST
    A1) To me AOL is something we do daily, like checks for understanding. AFL would be more formal to maybe share out with parents, etc. #espechat
  • PEbyMrE Feb 27 @ 8:12 PM EST
    Hey Ross! A1: AFL is more so for WHAT we need to learn to improve while AOL gives us the opportunity to do some assessment of WHAT we have done #espechat
  • Mr_C_PE Feb 27 @ 8:12 PM EST
    I definitely agree! #espechat

    Q2 - Bittersweet. I like peer assessment side by side with my assessment. Not only can you see how the Ss is doing, but u can see if the Ss assessing is understanding what the important cues and points in the skill are. #espechat. Also age appropriate can make diff.
    In reply to @Mr_C_PE
  • PEbyMrE Feb 27 @ 8:13 PM EST
    Definitely something to help with AOL. #espechat
    In reply to @PerkettPE
  • pewithmrc Feb 27 @ 8:14 PM EST
    A2) Some things may look correct to students that doesnt look correct to us. While beneficial for data on whether to repeat or advance a lesson, it may not be best for summative assessment. #espechat
  • CoachWilliams23 Feb 27 @ 8:14 PM EST
    A2 no...The scores might not be accurate #espechat
    In reply to @Mr_C_PE
  • PerkettPE Feb 27 @ 8:14 PM EST
    A2) The problem would be the assessor...did they rush through it, did they understand the language, etc. IMO they should be used for informal assessing and not for a means of grading. #espechat
  • Mr_C_PE Feb 27 @ 8:15 PM EST
    From your experience, ow do feel the peer assessment results match up to your observations? #espechat
    In reply to @KaragrozisPE
  • bdevore7 Feb 27 @ 8:15 PM EST
    A2 - for the most part no. Exceptions would be some affective Qs or an analysis of a skill off a video done by someone else. #espechat
  • PEbyMrE Feb 27 @ 8:15 PM EST
    A2: Not really with my Ss; they have a tendency (some of them) to not assess properly for each other. I have to do it with one student who I trust with one I may not #espechat
  • SaraWoodPE Feb 27 @ 8:16 PM EST
    A2 I used @phys_educator's mini-coaches to assess jump rope. It was used formatively so I could look at data and assess those who may need more help. I'm the teacher, so it should be my data used for the summative, but they can help me see where a student is. #espechat
  • physedwards13 Feb 27 @ 8:16 PM EST
    A2) You could certainly assess the process of peer assessment. I have never done that but it's certainly an idea. #espechat
  • GingerAaron Feb 27 @ 8:16 PM EST
    Q2) I use peer assessment, as means for students to get and give authentic feedback but do not grade peer assessments. Too many variables. #espechat
  • PhysEdApps - Moderator Feb 27 @ 8:16 PM EST
    Sorry I'm late #espechat, was watching Star Wars Rebels with my kids.

  • Mr_C_PE Feb 27 @ 8:17 PM EST
    A2) If I do a peer assessment, it is mostly for AFL/formative purposes for the reason most others have said...I can't truly justify a summative grade to a parent by saying it wasn't me that observed them... #espechat
  • SaraWoodPE Feb 27 @ 8:17 PM EST
    I think of this often. I'm assessing a student's ability to assess. it can show if a student understands the components of a skill as an observer. #espechat

  • KaragrozisPE Feb 27 @ 8:18 PM EST
    Q2 - I am all over the place w. it.. some nail it on the dot..some way off.. sme just scribble nething. I noticed a direct correlation w. the kids who misbehave tend to be way off bc they dont cre jst showin “busy time”. Ss who show passion and behave are spot on #espechat

    Q3 coming up in 1 minute #espechat
  • rich_wiles - Moderator Feb 27 @ 8:19 PM EST
    A2. Peer assessment are important for feedback for student knowledge. You could use for assessment for summative if video assessed and if video matches your rubric. #espechat
  • bdevore7 Feb 27 @ 8:19 PM EST
    I think that’s the analysis part, correct? #espechat
    In reply to @SaraWoodPE, @physedwards13
  • Mr_C_PE Feb 27 @ 8:20 PM EST
    Q3) In PE, assessing the psychomotor domain only favors the athletically gifted. How do you go about making sure the cognitive and affective domains are an equal part of the assessment of/for learning puzzle to ensure equity? #espechat
  • PhysEdApps - Moderator Feb 27 @ 8:21 PM EST
    A3) I have a cognitive test/quiz that I use with my Ss to help determine their understanding on what they understand in order to help what they can perform. #espechat

  • smartintahoe Feb 27 @ 8:21 PM EST
    A2: peer assessment is a process and when factoring it in to grading it could be an imperfect data point to use. Peers can be reluctant to be critical of one another. Better 4 learning to give proper feedback and getting S’s more feedback than as a true data point. #espechat
  • Mr_C_PE Feb 27 @ 8:21 PM EST
    How young do you go with written cognitive quizzes/tests Matt? #espechat

  • KaragrozisPE Feb 27 @ 8:22 PM EST
    Q3 - cognitive is DOK Questions / Affective also and may use certain #plagnets with EMOJIS. Turn and talks. Fist to 5. Gets the kids socializing and. Cheering one another on all tie into affective #espechat
    In reply to @Mr_C_PE
  • PEbyMrE Feb 27 @ 8:22 PM EST
    A3) Asking Qs, especially the HOW & WHY Qs; making all Ss think about the reason for PE & physical movement. PE isn't about being an athlete, so we should ask those thought provoking questions #espechat
  • PhysEdApps - Moderator Feb 27 @ 8:22 PM EST
    I do 4th and up. I was doing 3rd grade and got too much flack for assessing the students this way. #espechat For younger students you can use different types of assessments (like plickers) to help make cognitive connections. Need lots of visuals though.
    In reply to @Mr_C_PE
  • PE_stayactive Feb 27 @ 8:23 PM EST
    Q3) Participation, behavior (sportsmanship), written quizzes, and even class discussions can be a huge indicator for cognitive/affective domains. #espechat
  • PEbyMrE Feb 27 @ 8:23 PM EST
    I've done that as well. Makes it interesting when they REALLY show what they learned #espechat
    In reply to @PhysEdApps, @Mr_C_PE

    A3) Example for assessing the affective domain using #plagnets. "Reflects on personal social behavior in physical activity. (S4.E2.4)" #espechat
  • rich_wiles - Moderator Feb 27 @ 8:23 PM EST
    A3. I don’t feel that Standard 1 favors athletic students. The standards are for all learners. It depends on approach. The key is to balance your teaching and create model for PL. We need educators to do better at mapping year plans and curriculum with looping model. #espechat
  • pewithmrc Feb 27 @ 8:24 PM EST
    A3) This is a tough question for me so I am happily reading responses and finding ways to use this info to better my classes. #espechat
  • justsaygo_PE Feb 27 @ 8:24 PM EST
    A3 - this unit I am going to try to do 3 summatives. One skill observation (student choice), one written test, and a peer coaching log. #espechat
  • MoreThanGym Feb 27 @ 8:24 PM EST
    #espechat @Mr_C_PE I can't stick around for the entire chat. I am a firm believer that assessment drives instruction! Here is a blog article detailing how I use assessment as a motivator in PE! https://t.co/Gf4DACvG8c
  • PhysEdApps - Moderator Feb 27 @ 8:24 PM EST
    As an athlete, I was not the most talented person. I needed to learn the content to be successful. Being a member of my basketball team was more from the time/work I put into the cognitive aspect than my natural talent. #espechat
    In reply to @PEbyMrE, @Mr_C_PE
  • PerkettPE Feb 27 @ 8:24 PM EST
    A3) I think this is where #plagnets play a key role. You are able to assess the knowledge of something rather than the skill. I have also used cognitive tests for 3-5 students. #PhysicalLiteracy #espechat

  • CoachMcKissic Feb 27 @ 8:26 PM EST
    #espechat (A3) I think you have to make sure you are that the rigor of your assessments allow multiple levels of grading. It will allow everyone to be engaged and allow challenge lower level learners to rise up or fall down. Everybody's a D1 player until they run into a D1 player
  • Mr_C_PE Feb 27 @ 8:26 PM EST

  • Mr_C_PE Feb 27 @ 8:28 PM EST

  • CoachMcKissic Feb 27 @ 8:33 PM EST
    #espechat A4- I think that PE should not have a required amount of grades. PE is a personal journey and teachers will be forced to give grades for the sake of meeting a quota. I think everyone should pass but the grade should be based off individualized progress NOT one scale
  • physedwards13 Feb 27 @ 8:34 PM EST

  • bdevore7 Feb 27 @ 8:34 PM EST
    A4 funny you mention. Had this discussion the other day. District says 9 grades/9 weeks. Is this feasible in elem PE when you only see them 18x? Maybe only 16 with special events or snow days. I think not but need some minimum IMO. #espechat
  • PhysEdApps - Moderator Feb 27 @ 8:34 PM EST

    Q6) Standards Based Reporting (SBR) represents a shift in the way performance is reported home (see picture). Does your school/district use SBR? If so, what are the pros/cons? If not, what are your thoughts on SBR vs. traditional single letter grade report card? #espechat
  • PhysEdDepot Feb 27 @ 8:45 PM EST
    A6: We use a 1-4 scale, for psychomotor, cognitive, working as an individual and also in groups. We also have a N-S-G engages in the learning grade. It's a decent system. #espechat

  • PhysEdApps - Moderator Feb 27 @ 8:46 PM EST
    A6) My opinion: SBG is better than traditional but not sure it's still the "answer." The hard part is getting approval for #physed to have a complete report card for SBG instead of one space on the report card for everything together. Need to show growth in all areas. #espechat

    A6) I cant wait to see these responses!! Old school had SBR, current does not. Confusing to parents who don’t understand it, and some dont care to learn it, because we dont matter to them like math and reading. SBR is more time consuming but better for Ts. #espechat

  • PhysEdApps - Moderator Feb 27 @ 8:47 PM EST
    You need to develop the four point leveled rubrics for each thing you are assessing. You also need to have multiple examples (even different ways) on how you assessed a standard. #espechat

    Q6) We use SBR up to grade 6. I haven't used single letter grade in 21 years. Yikes. If your SBR is created the way you want it and represents what you want others to know then it works great. We have had some bad ones in the past. #espechat

  • Mr_C_PE Feb 27 @ 8:48 PM EST
    If your district is forcing you as the teacher to boil all performance indicators down to one final grade to go home on a report card, that is in direct contradiction with the whole idea of SBG. PE really needs their own report cards a lot of the time #espechat

  • PhysEdApps - Moderator Feb 27 @ 8:48 PM EST
    I do a lot of informal assessments through observation. These don't tend to get graded but in the SBG format you might be asked to prove why a Ss ended up receiving a score. Those marks/comments might help prove it. #espechat

    A6: we do it, it was a quick switch and still a learning process not just for me but parents. Trying to create a better forum for my P’s to learn about grading. Some teachers are not using the 1-4 rubric as intended on report cards which then leads to misunderstandings #espechat
