MY ASSESSMENT PHILOSOPHY

As a teacher, I choose the multiple choice, matching and interviews


for providing quizzes and exams to students. These are the ideas to start
with the American Sign Language level one. As a teacher, I’d provide a
detail of at least 3 each Assessment Approaches, Assessment Techniques
and Principle of Assessment.

Whenever the multiple choice and matching provided, would be


formative and process such as once biweekly for a semester while
interview will be summative and product such as twice a semester. Also,
the interview would help me as a teacher to develop a list of need to for
students and identify level from a rubric. As for the interview, a student
and I would need to set up a 1-hour appointment for us to provide
feedback which is formal. The feedback would include role plays and
demonstrations. Although, the students would get my informal feedback
during the class only if they need to be corrected. The informal feedback
is when I as a teacher, would demonstrate the best signs that our current
Deaf community’s usage. These are ways students would to keep up with
their skills and knowledge.

As a teacher, the assessment techniques that I would use for


American Sign Language 1 are multiple choice, matching and interview.
The multiple choice offers at least 4 answers while the matching offers at
least 3 answers. To provide the answers with question is my intention to
have students to use their reception skills. The interview would give a
student to use a targeted language. I would set up a camera for our
interview. To set up a camera is a purpose for me to provide feedback to
students and review a rubric. This assessment techniques will be heavily
relied on targeted language which is American Sign Language.

Assessment is “appraising or estimating the level or magnitude of


some attribute of a person (Mousavi, 2009, p.35). In educational practice,
assessment is an ongoing process that encompasses a wide range of
methodological techniques (Brown & Abeywickrama, 2009, p.3). To
develop the multiple choice, matching and interview questions is not
complicated. The multiple choice and matching will be based on two
weeks’ worth of activities/lesson plan(s) while the interview questions
will be 1.5 months’ worth of activities/lesson plan(s) which will be a
practicality. When the items are explicitly presented and consistent, it
will be a reliability. The interview questions that will assess a student’s
fluency and knowledge of ASL, will be a validity. These multiple choices,
matching and interview will base on heavily authenticity. I as a teacher,
want students to experience the real live conversation and know the
common conversations that Deaf community uses it in our daily lives.
After the tests of multiple choice, matching and interview, students will
get feedback aka washback. The formative process will happen with
multiple choice and matching; therefore, the students will get feedback
biweekly. The summative process will happen with midterm and final
interview exam. With that being said, I as a teacher will make sure that
students will get feedback before the semester will be ended such as a
final exam will be a week before the end of semester. That way the
students get feedback during the last week of semester.

These are what I would do as a teacher that want students to


increase their knowledge of ASL. So, students can communicate with the
members of Deaf community.
