= = CHINOOK'S EDGE SCHOOL DIVISION COLLABORATIVE ASSESSMENT PROJECT This year we are meeting to put together some outcome-based, summative assessment tools, for comprehensive student assessment in grades 5 and 8, Math and Science. The goal is to get together a few times over the course of the year, brainstorm how we could best accomplish comprehensive summative outcome assessment, determine the tools (types of assessment) that would provide the best feedback, and break-up the development to create a polished assessment that would also provide good data and feedback. Now, we are not talking just pencil and paper testing, but also project based assessment, hands-on assessment (particularly Science) critical thinking, and literacy(and numeracy) assessment. The goal is to put in place an assessment that can be used each year to provide feedback for the student, (strengths and areas for improvement) and a starting point for the teacher in the following year.

This wiki and this project is about **YOU**, **YOUR STUDENTS**, and what we can do **TOGETHER** to help assess student mastery of outcomes in a meaningful, engaging way.


 * NOTE FOR USE:** Please keep in mind these assessments are evolving documents and will continue to be modified, adapted, and tweaked as our cohort sees fit. If you use these assessments in any manner, please contact me with your comments, questions, revisions, and suggestions so the cohort can take these into consideration. **THANK YOU!**
