Diagnostic Deliberations by Principal Rivera https://padlet.com/principalrivera/mrzponnmnnvv38pv Explain what diagnostic assessments are and how they can be used. en-us 2021-09-06 20:49:16 UTC 2021-09-19 13:50:43 UTC hello@padlet.com Michael https://padlet.com/principalrivera/mrzponnmnnvv38pv/wish/1728385372 Diagnostic Assessments:
  • Asses student skills and/or content knowledge without any previous instruction taking place.
  • Used to refine skill/content goals for the course in the absence of any formative assessment data.

Diagnostic assessments can be used to diagnose skill and knowledge deficiencies; this information can then in turn be used to inform future instruction.

How: To inform our teaching regarding what skills need to be taught, which students/groups need more scaffolding, etc.

We can use diagnostics as a baseline to consider growth of individual students, but also consider whole class/grade understanding to use for future planning/instruction.

They are used to determine the pace of instruction and the extent to which instruction should be scaffolded.

Teachers use DAs to collect formative data and meet students where they are academically.

How:
Diagnostic assessments can be used to help plan effective future instruction by
identifying what the students already know and what they still need to learn (missing
key content and skills, misconceptions).
