Assessment inventory template
To assist faculty in designing comprehensive and effective assessment strategies, FDIC curated an assessment inventory table based on Jay McTighe and Steve Ferrara's work in Assessing student learning by design : principles and practices for teachers and school leaders. This tool provides a structured approach to planning and organizing your course assessments, ensuring alignment with learning objectives and best practices in assessment.
The assessment inventory table allows faculty to:
1. Map out all assessments for your course
2. Align each assessment with principles of effective assessment
3. Clarify the purpose, audience, and desired learning outcomes for each assessment
4. Specify assessment and evaluation methods
5. Plan feedback mechanisms for learners
By completing this inventory, faculty gain a bird's-eye view of their course's assessment strategy, helping them identify any gaps or redundancies and ensure a balanced, comprehensive approach to assess learning.
