What is a 'body of evidence' in STAMP assessment practices?
Answer: A collection of multiple assessments used together to determine a student's proficiency
A body of evidence combines multiple data points—quizzes, tasks, observations—to form a holistic and reliable picture of student mastery.
How should a teacher handle conflicting pieces of evidence where a student scores well on some assessments but poorly on others?
Answer: Look for patterns and consider the most recent evidence as well as the quality of each task
Professional judgment that considers patterns, recency, and the validity of each assessment leads to the most accurate proficiency determination.
Which of the following is an example of authentic assessment used as evidence in STAMP?
Answer: A student writes and delivers a speech to a real audience using research skills
Authentic assessments place students in real or realistic contexts that require genuine application of skills, providing rich evidence of transfer.
Why should teachers avoid using only one mode of assessment (e.g., only multiple-choice tests) as evidence of learning?
Answer: Different modes tap different aspects of mastery and learning styles
Relying on a single mode may advantage some learners over others and may not capture the full range of skills described in the standard.
In STAMP, teacher observation is MOST valuable as evidence when it is:
Answer: Systematically documented and tied to specific learning standards
Observations become valid evidence when they are intentional, recorded, and linked directly to the criteria in the learning standard.
What does 'triangulation of evidence' mean in a STAMP assessment context?
Answer: Using three or more different types of assessment to confirm a student's proficiency level
Triangulating evidence means gathering data from multiple, diverse sources so that conclusions about mastery are not dependent on any single assessment type.
