Summative Assessment Blueprint

Here is a copy of my Summative Assessment Blueprint. I could not figure out how to attach a file to a post, so I was able to insert it as a picture after a bit of tinkering. Clicking on the picture should open a new window or tab with a much bigger copy of the picture. If anyone would like the original by email, just ask. Feedback is greatly appreciated!

Final Assessment Project Description

I would like to focus on a pen-and-paper exam type assessment. I feel that tests are a very common and will be seen as appropriate for most situations by my future colleagues and administrators regardless of where I am teaching. The content of the exam will focus on key idea 2 from standard 4 of the Living Environment Core Curriculum, which is where my learning targets line up. I do not have an exact scope in mind, but I am thinking about a 45-60 minute exam for a Regents-level Living Environment class. I am envisioning a unit exam because of the rather narrow scope of my learning targets, but I could expand it to a cumulative, final exam if the scope is otherwise too narrow. The exam questions will span many different formats, so that I can practice writing each type, and require higher-level thinking, rather than memorization and recall. I have never constructed or administered a high school exam before, so any and all input is welcome.
