One Plans, One Reacts
Co-Instruction Strategies
Co-Teaching at ECU
Co-Assessment
Co-Assessment is when co-teachers collaboratively create, evaluate, administer assessments; then analyze and reflect on the results in order to drive instructional decisions.
The 3 Stages of Co-Assessment
-
Create and Evaluate Assessment
-
Administer Assessment
-
Analyze and Reflect on Assessment Results
Stage 2
During the Co-Planning process co-teachers make decisions about who is responsible for which parts of the assessment.
During Co-Instruction co-teachers each play a role in the administration of the assessment tool or are involved in the assessment activity.
Stage 3
After Co-Instruction co-teachers work together to analyze the assessment and reflect on student learning.
​
This is done through dialogue and is an opportunity for the CT to share their thinking about an assessment and how it informs the planning moving forward.
Stage 1
During the Co-Planning process co-teachers work together to create an assessment activity or tool that will help them see student learning.
​
They talk through the assessment to ensure it will accurately measure what the students will learn in the lesson or at the end of a unit.
Co-assessment is not giving the Intern a test or activity from last year and having them use it in their teaching.
Co-assessment is not giving the Intern a stack of papers to grade by themselves.
Co-assessment involves conversation about the actual assessment task and sharing the responsibility for evaluating student learning.
​
Co-assessment makes the invisible knowledge CTs have about assessing student learning visible to the Intern.
This video clip shows two teachers engaging in co-assessment. Listen to the language being used and the way both are actively involved in the thinking and dialogue.
This Co-Assessment Map can help you during co-planning to think through the assessment task and role of each co-teacher.
