Assessment
Types of Assessment
Assessment of learning: a traditional approach where usually the teacher assesses performance (ie. skill tests)
Assessment for Learning: on going assessment where students assess each other (ie. rubric, peer assessment)
Assessment as Learning: where assessing becomes the learning (ie. self-reflection, journal)
-
‣Depending on teaching style anyone of the three may be used to assess students. Below is a game performance assessment instrument (GPAI) for that focuses on two game performance assessment components*.

: A Game Performance Assessment Instrument (GPAI)
INSTRUCTIONS: You are to evaluate your student with each possession of their team. ONLY evaluate your player when their team has the ball.
SKILL =
♣Receive: is your player’s (a) knees flexed in ready position, (b) do they cushion the ball to trap it
♣Send: is your player (a) putting ball out in front of them to be hit, (b) using correct grip depending on type of hit chosen (hands apart for slap, push or hands together for a hit or sweep) (c) following through with their stick and pointing it in the direction they want the ball to go
DECISION = Player can make a great pass, BUT did they pass to the correct person (i.e. their own teammate). Player attempts to pass to open teammate and / or shoot pass to goal-taker when appropriate.
BASE = Knees bent and head up, ready for pass, providing a target (or calling out for ball).
SUPPORT = Does the player support the ball carrier by being in OR moving to an appropriate position to receive a pass (finding space).
