End of Unit Assessment
Purpose:
The End of Unit Assessment (EOU) is designed to support standards-based instruction. The EOU is intended to help teachers plan with the end in mind as well as provide data to determine which students have mastered standards and which students will need ongoing support to meet the standards. Such data will allow us to ensure all students have mastered the appropriate grade-level standards by the end of the year.
Our hope is to use these assessments to hold all students to high expectations while also providing the support they need to achieve those high expectations.
Administration:
Here are some things to keep in mind while administering EOU:
Make sure you are using the 2019-2020 version
Assessments have been designed for most students to complete in one 60-minute block. In consultation with your coach and team, some assessments may be extended to two 60-minute blocks.
Analyze the EOU at the start of the unit to deepen your understanding of the standards and the expected unit outcomes. Please do not share items with students before administering the EOU.
Please do not review the specific items with students in advance of the EOU as this may unintentionally inflate scores and misclassify students in need of intervention as proficient. Questions similar to those on the EOU may be present in the normal course of teaching throughout the unit. Review items should not directly mirror the assessment items.
When scoring:
No double jeopardy for constructed responses (e.g. If student answers part b correctly based on on INCORRECT part a, they receive credit for part b but not part a.)
Score using whole points (unless otherwise noted, no half points allowed)
Assessment Data Collection Sheets:
The 2019-2020 EOU Data Sheets have been shared with grades 1-5. They have been conditionally formatted to reflect the revised 2019-2020 versions.
PLEASE DO NOT CUT AND PASTE OR COPY AND PASTE FROM COLUMN TO COLUMN. This will change the conditional formatting rules and your data will be misrepresented.
Please let me know if you have any questions.
Best,
Lauren
