Assessment Types
GROUP PROJECT Definition/Description: An assessment project completed by several students working cooperatively As opposed to an event task that can be completed in a single class period, the group project usually takes more than one class period to complete and may include time spent outside of class. Group projects may be performance-based (e.g., presentation of dance, creation of a new game) or involve class presentation of results, displays, wall charts. Example: Students are placed in groups of five to six members and are asked to role-play the following scenario: The City Little League coach has asked your group to serve as assistant coaches this season. Specifically, the coach asks you to do a presentation of throwing for varying distances. Each group is instructed to prepare a presentation to include oral presentation of skills, demonstration of skills, and audiovisuals. Each group member must be part of the presentation. Presentations will be made to the class. Hints for Development and Use: 1. Keep the groups small (four may be the maximum number for some classes). 2. Provide guidelines for items that must be included in the project, especially
performance skills. 3. Within a class, some groups will require assistance to move beyond
discussion of detail; others will require assistance to attend to detail. 4. The project or game must be complete in itself (i.e., in final form). 5. The scoring rubric should be shared with students in advance so they are
aware of the assessment criteria.

Views of oneself as a learner G. Problem-solving Portfolios should be rated according to their ability to convey to the teacher that the student has met the goals for the class. This should be done concisely. The cover letter that accompanies the portfolio clearly explains why these particular pieces were included (instead of other types of documentation) and how the student met the teacher’s goals. Criteria should take into consideration the age of the student, the time given for portfolio development, and whether or not the portfolio is being used to fulfill requirements for other teachers and classes. Examples of portfolio components: (Note. Not all of these would be included in one portfolio) Goal: To learn to play soccer F. Evidence of playing on a recreational team (e.g., certificate) G. Journal of student successes as skill improved A. Videotape of game play H. A list of the drills practiced three times a week I. A letter from a soccer coach J. A brief review of key rules K. A critique of a soccer game watched discussing various offensive and
defensive strategies observed. L. A practice log (e.g.' footwork skills) to show improvement in the number
that can be done in 30 second time frames

Curriculum and Assessment Guide
O. Read an autobiography about a successful competitor and write a review P. Write a final analysis of your skill and playing or performing ability, assign
your own grade and give rationale Q. R. Write an essay entitled "What I learned and accomplished in . . . and what
I learned about myself in the process" S. Generate a reference list of instructional materials T. Attend a clinic, workshop or presentation and write a review Hints for Development and Use: E. The first step in creating a portfolio involves a teacher decision—
determining the desired student outcome or goal. Once this is established and clearly stated, the student can begin gathering evidence that will demonstrate that the goal has been met.
F. Portfolios are gathered over time. They may cover 6 to 8 weeks of instruction. Therefore, students need to have adequate time to assemble their information as well as adequate resources. The portfolio is often considered to be assessment in progress. The student has the option of working on components, changing them in ways that students feel make the evidence stronger so that they have achieved the desired goal.
1. If a student included every bit of evidence, the portfolio could become massive. Grading these unlimited portfolios would be a monumental if not impossible task. Unlimited portfolios are referred to as working portfolios. For the assessment portfolio, a teacher may limit the portfolio to a certain number of pieces (e.g., seven) and then have the student write a cover letter explaining why the various items were included. Although a teacher may suggest portfolio components or areas to be addressed, the ultimate decision of what is to be included should be left to the student.
2. One of the key components of alternative assessment is that the student has ownership and full choice about what is to be included. For instance, let's say a student was learning a psychomotor skill or sport. The teacher thought that a practice log, listing time spent working on the skill was necessary to demonstrate the practice and learning. Instead the student turns in a video showing early game play and game play following practice. The latter piece would also demonstrate skill practice, even though a log of practice time had not been kept. Another example might be if a swimmer included a certificate from the Red Cross documenting completion of a life saving class.
1. The teacher must be prepared to accept some unusual forms of documentation in the portfolio. This is not to say that the student always makes the best choice of selection of what to include. A good rubric should
Mahopac Physical Education
Curriculum and Assessment Guide
2. explain clearly the intent of the teacher goal, without limiting student creativity
to meet the criteria. G. Portfolios are best used when learning involves a complex idea or skill.
When many facets and components of learning are involved, it is easier for students to create a portfolio.
H. Contents of a portfolio could include the following: I. Report of a group project J. Excerpts from a student's daily journal K. Photo, model, or sketch made by the student 1. Notes from an interview or conference L. Teacher-completed checklists M. Copies of awards or prizes N. Video, audio, and computer-generated examples of student work

Assessment Tips The following tips may be helpful to physical education teachers who are using assessment techniques in their classrooms.
A. Be very clear about WHAT is being assessed (Is it worth learning and demonstrating?).
B. Know WHY you are assessing (what will you do with the information? Is it feedback for students, parents, your instruction, program?).
C. Assessment is more than grading! Assessments should demonstrate what students know or are able to do. Assessments can "show off'' learning in your program.
D. SHARE the information with students, administrators, other teachers, and parents as appropriate. (This will lend credibility to your program.)
E. Start small (your most cooperative group, one group, one class, one grade level, a few students).
F. Be CLEAR about the criteria (rubric standard, exemplary model, etc) for making judgments.
Mahopac Physical Education
Curriculum and Assessment Guide
G. Allow students in on the process. (a. Using your criteria they can evaluate self, partner or others; b. allow students some choices in the manner in which they want to be assessed--include the criteria for each assessment.)
H. Performance assessments are assessments involving students doing a task, they can be products, performances, or processes.
I. Authentic assessment can be real or perceived. The more real-life, the more authentic.
J. There are many TYPES of assessments (peer, group, projects, oral response, observation, debate, video, paper/pencil).
K. If you are strapped for time to have students complete paper and pencil assessments, consider asking classroom teachers to help administer assessments in their classrooms.

Middle School Assessment- Example 5 Directions: Your pulse rate is the result of blood being pumped through your arteries by your heart. When your heart contracts (pumps), blood moves through blood vessels in your body called arteries. The arteries pulsate as blood rushes through them. This pulsation can be felt in different locations of your body (wrist, neck, chest). During exercise, your heart muscles pump harder to move oxygenated blood to your muscle cells. Normally at rest, your heart muscle works less because your muscles are not real active. Monitoring pulse rate is one way to evaluate one's cardiovascular fitness. Generally, the healthier your cardiovascular system (heart, arteries), the lower your resting heart rate. While sitting out, use the second and third finger of your right hand to find the radial pulse of your left wrist (teacher will help). 1. Once you find you radial pulse, count each pulsation for one minute. This can be done using the wall clock. Once the minute changes start counting until it changes again. Record your result on the data section on the sheet. 2. Repeat procedure #1, five times. Record on sheet. 3. Once you have completed your five minutes of data collecting, organize it by forming a line graph. Conclusion Questions: N. What is a pulse? O. What can your resting pulse rate determine? P. What affect does exercising have on your pulse rate? Q. What can you determine about your resting heart rate after collecting and
charting your data?

Grade: K-12 Equipment: Chalkboard (or similar board), chalk and your predetermined questions. This is an excellent assessment to use if your gym is being used and you are in a confined space. Time: One 30-minute class period. Description: Depending on the size of your class, divide the students into equal teams of 4-8 students. (Limit teams at elementary ages 4 - 6 at most.) Allow them to come up with a team name and post those team names on the chalkboard. Ask one person from Team 1 to stand up and be ready for a P.E. question. If they answer the question without needing assistance from their teammates, their team receives 2 points. If they need assistance from their teammates, their team receives 1 point. If the team does not know the answer, any other team may answer (worth 1 point to that team). Example questions for a second grade class might include: a. Name a pathway b. Turn in a counterclockwise direction c. What part of your hand do you dribble with? d. How many days a week should you exercise?
