Assessment 2 (Total 50%): Intervention report
Date Due: WEEK 8 - Monday, 13 January 2014 (23.59 WST)
The word count for this assignment is 2500 words.
The focus of this assessment is for students to determine, using the Australian Curriculum as a guide, the standard for their age/grade of a primary school child using diagnostic assessment. The child may be at, below or above the expected standard according to the Australian Curriculum. This is what the student must determine using diagnostic assessment.

For SP 4 2013 students select from one of these options:
·English – Literacy strand, content strand: Creating texts.
·Mathematics – Statistics and Probability strand.
Following this students are required to plan and conduct ONE lesson showing how formative and summative assessment was used during the course of the lesson.

The template below identifies the sections as follows:
---

*Appropriate sources are the student’s teacher, work samples, reports and the student’s family

This template then forms the framework for the written report. The framework is a thinking and planning tool only and the report does not need to include it.

Students should accompany their report with…
1. a lesson plan that shows:
·What the learning objective was, based on the diagnostic task.
·Exactly what the child was asked to do
·How formative assessment was used throughout the lesson
·How the task was summatively assessed
·An evaluation of the lesson leading to a recommendation.
2. evidence of the assessment process being implemented
Students will be provided with a template on which to complete the lesson plan, which must be included in the report and not in the appendix to the report. The lesson plan can be based on a child not necessarily in a school-based setting. In fact, it is advisable that the lesson be conducted in a home-based setting if possible. Note that if access to a child within a school setting is needed at any time, students will need a Working with Children Check. Consent from parents and caregivers will be required when working with a child. The consent form to be filled in is available below. This must be attached in the one assignment document.
