Tech Assessment Menu Choice Board

 Thanks Sue for the idea.

Assessment Menu Board-Choose different assessments for each project, these can’t be repeated!  There are class experts/mentors to help with each assignment.

Blogging on Class Blog	VoiceThread with drawing to show learning	iMovie	Twitter to artist or teacher
Podcast letter written to teacher, other students, or someone special	Model building of idea	Bitstrips	Flipboom animation
Educreations animation and video	Free space (Something the teacher doesn’t know about yet.)	Wordle of important words and phrases	Chatterpix
Interview recorded on iMovie or video cam	Partner project using some form of technology	Edmodo reflections	??  I'll ask my student advisory board about how to fill this in.

3 "Mock Ups" of Student Advisory Committee

Story about Ideation

At the beginning of the year, the teacher surveys all students with interest inventory, favorite art materials, favorite subjects to draw, and other opinions.  From the survey and students from last year, the teacher asks about 10 to 15 students to be a part of the advisory committee.  These students are a mix of gender, race, native language, motivated art students, and at-risk students in art and other subjects.  The teacher meets initially with the students one-on-one or in pairs to discuss the idea of an Advisory Council.  If the student agrees, the teacher asks questions about how instruction is presented to see what students prefer and get ideas for changes.  After the first couple lessons, conference with students again and ask how the lesson went.  This takes transparency with the student and teacher and building trust to be honest with the teacher.  The teacher will continue to ask the uncomfortable questions to get authentic feedback for the students.  After lessons, a pair of students will write a reflection in the class blog; this gives the teacher more and different feedback about the lesson and how students perceive learning.  The teacher also self-reflects on each lesson especially if any students are disengaged.  Since the goal is to engage the students, the teacher must keep asking how to change the lesson and improve it.  The students will take turns being experts about some part of the art lesson; the teacher needs to teach the initial student and check that the experts are hitting all the points with their mentored students, so all may be successful.  Then it is not a new idea, but the teacher should compare the art and assessment with the rubric presented at the beginning of the lesson and self-reflect on the teacher aspects of the instruction.  This is a repeating cycle as all good instruction is.  Did the teacher teach what the students needed?  Were the students engaged in the lesson?  What parts of the lesson were the most engaging?
