When you hear the word ‘assessment’, what do you think of? Formal written exams followed by a grade? The must-be-done-but-no-one-wants-to-do part of learning? At YCIS Shanghai, assessment is so much more than that!
当你听到“评估”这个词时，你会想到什么?一次正式的书面考试之后得到的分数?学习中必须做但没人想做的那部分?在上海耀中，“评估”可远不止于此!
There are many reasons why we use a wide range of assessments at school. Assessment is an important part of learning, helping teachers determine whether educational goals are being met, and if not, why not. However, assessment is only useful when follow-up action is taken to identify areas of growth and challenge. Studying for a test only to forget all about it a week later is not a good use of time for students or teachers!
在学校使用各种各样的评估有很多原因。评估是学习的一个重要部分，它可以帮助教师确定教育目标是否完成，如果没有完成，为什么没有？然而，只有在采取后续行动以确定需要改进的领域时，评估才真正起到作用。为了应试而学习，一周后就会把学到的内容忘记了，这对学生和老师来说并不是一种很好的利用时间的方式!
Some parents choose YCIS Shanghai because they know that we do not use assessment to rank students. Instead, our experienced teachers know each student as an individual, are aware of both their strengths and areas for development and can, therefore, nurture their potential. Assessments are not undertaken to judge or criticise students, but to identify areas of growth to ensure that teachers are best supporting each child on their own learning journey. This keeps students inspired and challenged.
一些家长选择上海耀中，因为他们知道我们不使用评估对学生进行排名。相反，我们经验丰富的老师视每个学生为独立的个体，了解他们的长处和需改进的领域，因材施教，挖掘他们的潜力。评估不是用来评判或批评学生的，而是用来确定需要改进的地方，这样才可以确保教师在每个孩子的学习旅程中给予他们最好的支持，学生们才能不断受到启发并接受挑战。
So, what does the school year look like?
那么，整个学年会是怎样的呢？
Assessment is an ongoing process, taking place during every unit of study in every subject, every week of the school year, during every lesson—even if the children are not aware of it. At the start of the year, students undertake assessments so that teachers have a baseline from which to measure their progress. Teachers observe students and their responses during lessons throughout the year, liaising with parents where necessary. ‘Cold tasks’ are quick assessments undertaken at the start of a new unit of study, before new material has been taught. The same assessment is repeated at the end of the unit, then called a ‘hot task’, enabling teachers to confirm that the student’s understanding has developed and any gaps in knowledge have been addressed.
评估是一个持续的过程，尽管孩子们没有意识到，但是一个学年的每一周，每一节课，每门学科，每一单元都会有评估。在学年开始的时候，学生们会接受评估，这样老师们就有一个基准来衡量他们的进步。教师们会在整个学年的课堂上观察学生的学习以及他们的反应，必要时与家长联系。“冷任务”是指在学习新内容之前，开始学习新单元时进行的快速评估。在单元结束时相同的评估被称为“热任务”，即让教师确认学生的理解已经完善，任何知识的空白也已经被弥补了。
What do we do with assessments?
评估以后，我们做些什么？
Using ongoing data effectively helps ensure that resources, planning, and curriculum at YCIS Shanghai are well suited to all students. Teachers and school leaders discuss assessment data together, using it to identify needs for further development or further extension for students. This could take place at the level of the individual student, or across groups, such as those in one skill area, one class, or one year level.
使用持续更新的数据可以有效地帮助确保上海耀中的资源、计划和课程适合所有学生。教师和学校领导一起讨论评估数据，用它来确定需要进一步发展或需要拓展的学生的需求。这可能是单个学生，也可能是跨组学生，比如某个技能领域、某个班级或某个年级的学生。
Assessment data helps identify the need for additional support, whether in the form of resources or extra staff to further support students in a small group environment, or at an individual level. We continually monitor and reassess all students throughout the unit of study to ensure that these measures enable students to meet their full potential.
评估数据有助于确定是否需要额外的支持，无论是资源形式，还是额外工作人员，在小组中或一对一进一步支持学生。我们在整个学习单元中不断监测和重新评估所有学生，以确保这些措施能充分发挥学生的潜力。
In Primary, Centre for Evaluation and Monitoring (CEM) assessments help us measure a student’s potential. They have been used for over 30 years in over 70 countries and enable us to compare our data against the expected achievement of an average child for each age group. CEM assessments identify the highest performing 25% of students in each year level, the middle 50%, and the lowest performing 25%. Most of all, it helps our Primary teachers to respond to individual educational needs. This focus on meaningful assessment ultimately leads to outstanding IB results and university successes.
在小学，评估和监控中心(CEM)的评估帮助我们测量学生的潜力。CEM在70多个国家使用了30多年，它能够将我们的数据与每个年龄组平均儿童的预期成绩进行比较。CEM评估可以确定每个年级成绩最好的25%的学生、中间的50%的学生和成绩最差的25%的学生。最重要的是，它可以帮助我们的小学教师应对个人的教育需求。如此有意义的评估最终会带来优异的IB成绩和大学的成功录取。
Of course, no student performs to their best of their ability on every assessment, or at every opportunity on every day. That’s why it’s crucially important to look at achievement across a range of assessment types over the course of time to get an overall picture of how each student is progressing on their own unique learning journey.
当然，没有一个学生会在每一次评估，或在每一天的每一个机会中尽其所能。这就是为什么在一段时间内通过不同的评估类型来考量学生的进步和成就是至关重要的，这样才能全面了解每个学生在自己的学习历程中是如何进步的。
At YCIS Shanghai, our experienced teachers support students at all levels of their journey and are always happy to talk to parents about their children, be it online, over the phone, or in person — all they need to do is reach out! And when they do reach out, it will be wonderful to learn from the teacher some of things they did not know about their child!
在上海耀中，我们经验丰富的老师会给各个学龄段的学生提供各种支持，并总是乐于与家长谈论他们孩子的学习情况，无论在线上，电话，还是面对面，与家长的沟通和联系都至关重要。当家长从老师那里了解到自己孩子与众不同的一面时，那是一种很棒的感受！
