 Evaluating an Out put
Activity two: (5mins)
Short story (History)
In groups,
• Using the AoI that you developed in session one,
Task:
i. State the output of the AoI
ii. Develop the key concepts to be assessed in the output
iii. Share your findings in plenary

 Key message

• It is important that for each Output there are

clear concepts that will be considered for
assessment.
• This is what we call the “Basis for evaluation”

 Developing the Evaluation grid
Activity three: (20mins)

In your groups, using the Activity of Integration you developed in session one:

i. Refine the expected output and its basis of evaluation (refer to activity two)
ii. For each basis of evaluation, Using the 3 levels of achievement describe the expected
attainment of the learners for relevance, accuracy and coherence
iii.Describe what is expected of a learner to attain the excellence score

 Session Summary
• The evaluation grid is key for end of topic assessment of the learners
• It is important to have a basis of evaluation for the Outputs
• The basis for evaluation can be one or more depending on the output
expected
• For each output there must be description of learners achievement at
the 3 levels in terms of relevance, accuracy and coherence
• For each AoI the outstanding learner is described once in the Excellence
column
• The description of learner’s achievement is based on the Evaluation grid
