Assessing Youth Success
Lena Ko, July 2002
This supplement contains a set of activities that expand upon ideas presented in "Measuring Youth Success," Topic 3 in the training and resource manual entitled Planning for Youth Success: Connecting Schools, Families, and Communities for Youth Success. In Topic 3, characteristics of effective assessments are defined for the purpose of learning how to measure youth success characteristics. Then a process for developing an assessment using these characteristics is applied to a chosen youth success characteristic.
In Assessing Youth Success, five new optional activities explore assessment in more depth and provide techniques to build and practice skills in developing and critiquing assessment tools. The activities are designed to help participants:
- identify contextual mismatches in the assessment process
- rate assessments using a scale based on effective assessment characteristics
- understand what authentic assessment is
- build a rubric
- explore local understanding of youth strengths and compare that to standards-based education and assessment
To order Assessing Youth Success, see the online catalog. The cost is $10.30 plus shipping and handling.
Assessing Youth Success is also available online as PDF files.
- Cover, 2pp, 2M
- Facilitator's Guide to Activities, 50pp, 1325K
