Description

Forum: Students post a reflection on the formal and informal diagnostic assessment practices currently used in their school context, discussing their strengths and limitations.

Activity: "The School Diagnostic Audit and Intervention" (Group - 60 mins).

Task: Divide the class into groups of 4-5. Each group must address the following using a shared online Jamboard or Miro board:

  1. Audit (15 mins): Based on the discussion forum posts, identify the single most common diagnostic tool or practice used across the schools represented in the group (e.g., entrance test, pre-unit quiz).
  2. Critically evaluate it against the Pellegrino (2001) Assessment Triangle—specifically, does it effectively pinpoint the cognitive gap?
