Closing the Loop

Unit 9 Discussion 2
Assessment and Evaluation
The use of assessment and evaluation plan is one of the critical
tools that I have noted in any training course. The trainers use
the tool as one of the mechanisms of meeting the expected
benefits from the program.
I agree that closing the loop of an assessment and evaluation
program is essential as it measures the ability of a program to
equipping the students with skills and knowledge. After the
assessment, the trainer should introduce what is needed to be
done to improve the program.
…Cont’d
Assessment and evaluation program is crucial as it determines
the effectiveness of the material delivered to students.
Similarly, it is essential to note that the assessment and
evaluation tool is essential in determining the impact of any
subject to society.
Therefore, if the assessment and evaluation find the subject not
effective, it should be the best time to scrap off the topic.
Assessment
The importance of the evaluation and assessment of the learning
outcomes of the program will determine if it is increasing any
value on the students or is it a waste of time and resources
(Suskie, 2018).
If the data collected in the evaluation suggests that the program
is not sufficient and its objectives are not being achieved, then
the program can be stopped as it is a waste of time and
resources for the institution and the students.
Stakeholders
Though, I think it is essential to include different stakeholders
in the assessment and evaluation. One of the critical
stakeholders in the society to which the end products (students)
are giving.
The article does not introduce the mechanism that can be for
assessment and evaluation of the training. The tool for assessing
and evaluating would be vital as it would establish
effectiveness.
The mechanism should use the students as main participants in
the growth of subject through assessment and evaluation.

Stakeholders and Action Plan to Prepare for Assessment
Xavier Williams
Running head: STAKEHOLDERS AND ACTION PLAN 1
Unit 8 Assignment 1
Stakeholders and Action Plan to Prepare For Assessment
The Stakeholders
The Assessment and Evaluation of the learning outcomes of
students or trainees in the various situation is a process that will
involve all the stakeholders involved directly or indirectly.
Stakeholders are individuals or a group of people who have an
interest in the assessment and evaluation plan (Gardner, 2014).
The Assessment and Evaluation process or plan will involve
both internal and external stakeholders as the issues affect them
both. The internal stakeholders are the students, teachers,
administrators, and the staff while on the other hand, the
parents the education standard body, alumni and the employer
are the external stakeholders. The stakeholders have a say, and
their actions can alter a decision in the institution and so they
must be involved in every activity.
Rationale Of Stake Holders
The involvement of the stakeholders in the evaluation and
assessment plan is to ensure that there is a mutual
understanding between all the parties involved. It is meant to
prevent frustration and resistance during the assessment
(Gardner, 2014). The other significant benefit of engaging the
stakeholders is to get suggestions that might help you in coming
up with a better and inclusive plan that will result in you
achieving the objectives of the assessment and evaluation. The
stakeholders can also act as sponsors in case the project needs
funding or other resources. The involvement of stakeholder
ensures that the best decision is made in every step of the
process, which results in achieving the ultimate goal of the
evaluation plan.
Action Plan To Guide Implementation
Before the actual implementation of the evaluation and
assessment process, it is essential first to have an action plan.
The action plan is the steps that should be followed to ensure
that the evaluation plan will result in success and achieve the
objectives (Banta et al., 2015). For that reason, then the action
plan should be clear and direct to prevent confusions during the
implementation of the actual project. Coming up with a
practical assessment and evaluation plan, it is essential. First,
plan on the tasks that will take place during the process, the
time that every task will be expected to start and end, assess the
risks that can be encountered at every step and also the
resources that will be deployed for every task.
Rationale Of Action Plan For Implementation
Before implementing any plan, it is necessary first to have a
laid-out plan of the activities and processes that will be
involved in the actual implementation of the evaluation process.
The action plan acts as a guide that indicates what should be
done by whom, when, the resources needed to actualize the
activity, the risks assessment and mitigation strategies for the
risks (Banta et al., 2015). The action plan is essential when
planning as it ensures that all the resources needed are assigned
before going to the field. This prevents frustration and
challenges. The action plan also acts as a sample of the actual
project, and it is used to review and make changes before the
real intention is implemented. It is essential always to have an
action plan to guide you as it ensures everything is in its right
place before performing the actual process.
Closing The Loop
My suggested assessment and evaluation plan aims at ensuring
that the students, trainees or learners achieve the expected
benefits from the program, and the institution. The project will
determine if the expectations of the program in equipping the
students with the skills and knowledge on the subject are met
and what more can be done to enhance or change the situation.
The plan will assess the effectiveness of what the students are
learning and the impact it has on them and the society at large
(Marzano, 2010). The assessment will determine if the program
should continue or be scraped off depending on its effectiveness
and response by the students.
The Rationale Of Closing The Loop
The importance of the evaluation and assessment of the learning
outcomes of the program will determine if it is increasing any
value on the students or is it a waste of time and resources
(Shewbridge et al., 2011). If the data collected in the evaluation
suggests that the program is not sufficient and its objectives are
not being achieved then the program can be stopped as it is a
waste of time and resources for the institution and the students.
On the other hand, if the evaluation concludes that the program
is effective and it is adding value to the stakeholders, more
resources are deployed to support it, which will be beneficial
for all the stakeholders.

Introduction
This course is designed for the department of engineering. In
this engineering course, I will teach the learners about water
resource engineering. They will learn Integrated Water
Resources Development (IWRD) and Integrated Water
Resources Management (IWRM) as a general framework for
Water Resources Engineering. The students will mention water
challenges experienced in their locality. This will be done in
groups of five students with the aim of stating challenges of
water and how to solve them. At the end of each lesson the
teacher will lead in demonstration of various water resources
and how water from the sources can be harnessed. The
following will be the student learning goals; Learners will be
able to understand elements integrated water resources
management. Learners will be able to know erosion and
deposition in rivers, Learners will be able to learn laws
governing water in their country and internationally, Learners
will be able to know erosion and deposition in rivers, Learners
will be able to sit in groups and discuss different water sources.
Since this is an engineering lesson, it will be necessary to
conduct a practical experience. Learners play an active role and
engage more during practical exercises than in theoretical
practices. During practical exercises, students get a chance to
utilize what they learnt in class and build confidence while at it
to deal with real world situations. Allowing students to have
discussions in groups’ plays a great role in learning experience
by enhancing democratic learning, complements reflective
learning and accommodates individual difference. Therefore, I
aim to mix the low-ability learners with the high ability learners
and help in leading discussions to ensure achievement of
learning goals by the end of the course.
Learning goals
Learning goals state what the teacher intends the students to
achieve as a result of a successful completion of the teaching
experience. It could be at the end of a program, a course or
learning experience. A course learning goal explains what the
students will be capable to perform at the end of a course while
program goal is what the student is capable of achieving at the
end of their degree or diploma certificate. A well state learning
goals should state the outcomes (Marzano, 2010). This is
basically what the student will be in a position to do after they
successfully complete the course. They should be simple and
clear such that everyone comprehends them. They should focus
more on skills rather than knowledge. This is because the
employers of today look for thinking and performance skills
when hiring. They should be relevant and focus more on what
the students are to learn. They should not be too many. More
than five learning goals may reduce the efficiency of learning
and may lose focus. The learning goals should fit within the
scope of the course content. Most importantly they should help
the learners to achieve broader learning goals (Marzano, 2010).
I aim that my students will be in a position to define integrated
resources management by the end of the course. They student
should be in a position to understand different sources of water
and to be able to list causes of erosion and deposition. Lastly by
the end of this course, students will be able to mention different
laws and acts related to water an assignment.
Rationale of learning goals
The learning goals are important in terms of student
development. There are different levels of objectives. Students
should be in a position to reach objectives from various
stipulated levels. They should demonstrate knowledge and
understanding of integrated water resources as well as the
ability to analyze, apply, synthesize and evaluate the provided
learning content. (Ennis, et al 2012). In this course, students
will acquire knowledge by identifying water resources and
learning laws governing water resources. The students will
analyze by comparing different water sources and how to
harness water from these sources. They synthesize by doing
experiments in the labs and through group discussion.
Assessment instruments
An assessment instrument is part of an assessment tool that
includes instructions or a checklist needed to conduct an
assessment of a learning outcome. An assessment instrument
can either be a test, form or a rubric and it is used to collect
data for each outcome. It is the actual product that is handed out
to students for the purpose of gauging whether they have
achieved a particular learning outcome (Suskie, 2018).
Assessment tools measures fluency, skills and abilities of a
student. Assessments can either be formal or informal. Formal
tools are objective measurements of a students’ skills and
abilities using monitoring, screening, evaluation and diagnosis.
Informal assessment are inferences a teacher receives from
observations. Assessment tools are used by teachers to make
informed decisions.
Rationale for learning instruments
An appropriate assessment instrument will help a tutor to
measure achievement of the outcomes. It also shows whether the
desired performance for a particular outcome was achieved.
Assessment instruments are important since they help to
produce results that can be used to make decisions that would
improve student learning techniques. Assessment can either be
direct or indirect assessment. A direct assessment is achieved
by observing a learner’s performance or examining of products
that demonstrate mastery of specific skills or course contents. It
can also be done when a learner demonstrates work quality such
as innovativeness or creativity. Indirect assessment is based on
the knowledge and abilities reported by external sources such as
supervisors, alumni, fieldwork or a faculty.
Setting Standards
Setting meaningful assessment standards, benchmarks or targets
for student learning assessments is a huge challenge for
educators. The first challenge is that the assessment community
has limited glossary to define different terms that refer
assessment such as goals, thresholds, benchmarks or targets. I
settled to use standards to describe minimal acceptable student
performance. The other challenge is use of standard and target.
Standard described minimal acceptable performance while
target describe proportion of students to reach the standard
mark. There are four ways that help in setting achievable
standards. A students’ standard can be established from their
peers (Norcini, 2003). This is done by ensuring they perform as
well or better than their peers. Standard can also be set by an
external body such as passing a license exam. History records
can also be used in that the current students should perform
better than the former students. However, most times the three
options aren’t available. In this case teachers can set their own
standards. This is called a local standard.
The following steps are used when establishing a local standard;
a teacher should settle on a standard that does not embarrass
him or her. It would look ugly if people noticed a student that
passed your course did so because you had a low assessment
standard. A relative harm should be considered when setting an
assessment to high or too low. A very high standard means a
teacher is identifying shortcomings of a student that may not be
important or scarce resources and time are used to address them.
On the other hand, a very low assessment standard may mean
that a teacher is risking students to graduate without being
ready or capable to thrive in what comes next such as a job
market (Norcini, 2003). Before setting a standard, the
assignment being assessed should be considered. This is
because a test done in a three-hour class will not be as polished
as a three-week assignment. If an external source can be used to
set the assessment standards the better. This could be a faculty
from another college or a disciplinary committee. Lastly, use
previous performance of the students to inform your thinking.
Student assessment aims at fulfilling to interpret and use
performance results effectively and appropriately to enhance
accountability and improvement of teaching as a profession. A
good assessment should yield results that are used to improve
teaching and learning practices. Improvement helps
stakeholders to have a self-reflection of the institutional goals
and figure out if the performance conforms to the vision,
mission and objectives therefore improving achievement (Ervin,
1988). The steps involved in setting a good quality assessment
standard, is to first know the purpose of the assessment results
which ca be to maintain a status quo or to enhance
improvement. One should also know who will use the results
and what they will inform. The second step is to state the
consequence of setting a standard bar too high or too low.
Lastly the standard to be set should be grounded to the data
which is subjected to discussion in order to be aware if they
have achieved the set standards.
In this integrated water resource course I intend to use the
following as my assessment standards. They include written
exams that may be in form of short answer questions, essays and
multiple choice questions. I will also use written assignments
such as reports, work logs, portfolios, literature reviews and
essays. Student will be required to do practical assignments that
will test students’ abilities to cope with real world situations.
Lastly, I will assess my students by how they participate in
class.
Rationale of assessment standards
The assessment rationale for the students will be to confirm and
measure students’ performance and achievement in relation to a
students’ stipulated learning objectives. The rationale will also
be to promote, improve and enhance the quality of learning
through a clear feedback that is timely, informative and relevant
to student needs. It will also reward the student achievements
and efforts with an appropriate grading system. Lastly, it will
provide relevant information that will help to continuously
improve and evaluate quality of the curriculum and the
effectiveness of the teaching methods.
Evaluation of learning plan
As a teacher, one is always working to improve the learning
curriculum, organization and instruction. Evaluating lesson
plans helps teachers to improve their practice, meet the
learner’s needs and develop strong reflective habits. Part of
evaluating a lesson plan results from evaluating lesson design.
When preparing a learning plan the following questions should
be considered; what is the purpose of the plan. This could be to
know whether learning goals have been achieved. A teacher
should also have an ability to foresee learning plan challenges
and to know whether the learning plan is effective or not. To
evaluate a lesson plan one should evaluate the preparation
process, the lesson itself and the students (Knowles, 1975). The
following questions can be used when evaluating the
preparation process; How hard was it to plan the lesson and
what made it hard to plan, how efficient were you in following
the lesson plan, was it difficult to gather the materials required,
how useful were the materials used in delivering the lesson. To
evaluate the lesson itself a teacher should check if the goals set
at the start of the class, which activity was well executed,
whether all the students were engaged, were lesson goal
successes confirmed after the lesson and finally if there was an
assignment at the end of the lesson.
The Stakeholders
The Assessment and Evaluation of the learning outcomes of
students or trainees in the various situation is a process that will
involve all the stakeholders involved directly or indirectly.
Stakeholders are individuals or a group of people who have an
interest in the assessment and evaluation plan (Gardner, 2014).
The Assessment and Evaluation process or plan will involve
both internal and external stakeholders as the issues affect them
both. The internal stakeholders are the students, teachers,
administrators, and the staff while on the other hand, the
parents the education standard body, alumni and the employer
are the external stakeholders. The stakeholders have a say, and
their actions can alter a decision in the institution and so they
must be involved in every activity.
Rationale of Stake Holders
The involvement of the stakeholders in the evaluation and
assessment plan is to ensure that there is a mutual

prevent frustration and resistance during the assessment
(Gardner, 2014). The other significant benefit of engaging the
stakeholders is to get suggestions that might help you in coming

determine if the expectations of the program in equipping the
students with the skills and knowledge on the subject are met
and what more can be done to enhance or change the situation.
The plan will assess the effectiveness of what the students are

(Marzano, 2010). The assessment will determine if the program
should continue or be scraped off depending on its effectiveness
and response by the students.
The Rationale Of Closing The Loop
The importance of the evaluation and assessment of the learning
outcomes of the program will determine if it is increasing any
value on the students or is it a waste of time and resources
(Shewbridge et al., 2011). If the data collected in the evaluation
suggests that the program is not sufficient and its objectives are
not being achieved then the program can be stopped as it is a
waste of time and resources for the institution and the students.
On the other hand, if the evaluation concludes that the program
is effective and it is adding value to the stakeholders, more
resources are deployed to support it, which will be beneficial
for all the stakeholders.

  • 13. - END - Closing the Loop Xavier Williams Unit 9 Discussion 2 Assessment and Evaluation The use of assessment and evaluation plan is one of the critical tools that I have noted in any training course. The trainers use the tool as one of the mechanisms of meeting the expected benefits from the program. I agree that closing the loop of an assessment and evaluation program is essential as it measures the ability of a program to equipping the students with skills and knowledge. After the assessment, the trainer should introduce what is needed to be done to improve the program. …Cont’d Assessment and evaluation program is crucial as it determines the effectiveness of the material delivered to students. Similarly, it is essential to note that the assessment and evaluation tool is essential in determining the impact of any subject to society. Therefore, if the assessment and evaluation find the subject not
  • 14. effective, it should be the best time to scrap off the topic. Assessment The importance of the evaluation and assessment of the learning outcomes of the program will determine if it is increasing any value on the students or is it a waste of time and resources (Suskie, 2018). If the data collected in the evaluation suggests that the program is not sufficient and its objectives are not being achieved, then the program can be stopped as it is a waste of time and resources for the institution and the students. Stakeholders Though, I think it is essential to include different stakeholders in the assessment and evaluation. One of the critical stakeholders in the society to which the end products (students) are giving. The article does not introduce the mechanism that can be for assessment and evaluation of the training. The tool for assessing and evaluating would be vital as it would establish effectiveness. The mechanism should use the students as main participants in the growth of subject through assessment and evaluation. References Suskie, L. (2018, May 27).

  • 15. 6 Stakeholders and Action Plan to Prepare for Assessment Xavier Williams Running head: STAKEHOLDERS AND ACTION PLAN 1 Unit 8 Assignment 1 Stakeholders and Action Plan to Prepare For Assessment The Stakeholders The Assessment and Evaluation of the learning outcomes of students or trainees in the various situation is a process that will involve all the stakeholders involved directly or indirectly. Stakeholders are individuals or a group of people who have an interest in the assessment and evaluation plan (Gardner, 2014). The Assessment and Evaluation process or plan will involve both internal and external stakeholders as the issues affect them both. The internal stakeholders are the students, teachers, administrators, and the staff while on the other hand, the parents the education standard body, alumni and the employer are the external stakeholders. The stakeholders have a say, and
  • 16. their actions can alter a decision in the institution and so they must be involved in every activity. Rationale Of Stake Holders The involvement of the stakeholders in the evaluation and assessment plan is to ensure that there is a mutual understanding between all the parties involved. It is meant to prevent frustration and resistance during the assessment (Gardner, 2014). The other significant benefit of engaging the stakeholders is to get suggestions that might help you in coming up with a better and inclusive plan that will result in you achieving the objectives of the assessment and evaluation. The stakeholders can also act as sponsors in case the project needs funding or other resources. The involvement of stakeholder ensures that the best decision is made in every step of the process, which results in achieving the ultimate goal of the evaluation plan. Action Plan To Guide Implementation Before the actual implementation of the evaluation and assessment process, it is essential first to have an action plan. The action plan is the steps that should be followed to ensure that the evaluation plan will result in success and achieve the objectives (Banta et al., 2015). For that reason, then the action plan should be clear and direct to prevent confusions during the implementation of the actual project. Coming up with a practical assessment and evaluation plan, it is essential. First, plan on the tasks that will take place during the process, the time that every task will be expected to start and end, assess the risks that can be encountered at every step and also the resources that will be deployed for every task. Rationale Of Action Plan For Implementation Before implementing any plan, it is necessary first to have a laid-out plan of the activities and processes that will be involved in the actual implementation of the evaluation process. The action plan acts as a guide that indicates what should be done by whom, when, the resources needed to actualize the activity, the risks assessment and mitigation strategies for the
  • 17. risks (Banta et al., 2015). The action plan is essential when planning as it ensures that all the resources needed are assigned before going to the field. This prevents frustration and challenges. The action plan also acts as a sample of the actual project, and it is used to review and make changes before the real intention is implemented. It is essential always to have an action plan to guide you as it ensures everything is in its right place before performing the actual process. Closing The Loop My suggested assessment and evaluation plan aims at ensuring that the students, trainees or learners achieve the expected benefits from the program, and the institution. The project will determine if the expectations of the program in equipping the students with the skills and knowledge on the subject are met and what more can be done to enhance or change the situation. The plan will assess the effectiveness of what the students are learning and the impact it has on them and the society at large (Marzano, 2010). The assessment will determine if the program should continue or be scraped off depending on its effectiveness and response by the students. The Rationale Of Closing The Loop The importance of the evaluation and assessment of the learning outcomes of the program will determine if it is increasing any value on the students or is it a waste of time and resources (Shewbridge et al., 2011). If the data collected in the evaluation suggests that the program is not sufficient and its objectives are not being achieved then the program can be stopped as it is a waste of time and resources for the institution and the students. On the other hand, if the evaluation concludes that the program is effective and it is adding value to the stakeholders, more resources are deployed to support it, which will be beneficial for all the stakeholders.

  • 19. Xavier Williams Introduction This course is designed for the department of engineering. In this engineering course, I will teach the learners about water resource engineering. They will learn Integrated Water
  • 20. Resources Development (IWRD) and Integrated Water Resources Management (IWRM) as a general framework for Water Resources Engineering. The students will mention water challenges experienced in their locality. This will be done in groups of five students with the aim of stating challenges of water and how to solve them. At the end of each lesson the teacher will lead in demonstration of various water resources and how water from the sources can be harnessed. The following will be the student learning goals; Learners will be able to understand elements integrated water resources management. Learners will be able to know erosion and deposition in rivers, Learners will be able to learn laws governing water in their country and internationally, Learners will be able to know erosion and deposition in rivers, Learners will be able to sit in groups and discuss different water sources. Since this is an engineering lesson, it will be necessary to conduct a practical experience. Learners play an active role and engage more during practical exercises than in theoretical practices. During practical exercises, students get a chance to utilize what they learnt in class and build confidence while at it to deal with real world situations. Allowing students to have discussions in groups’ plays a great role in learning experience by enhancing democratic learning, complements reflective learning and accommodates individual difference. Therefore, I aim to mix the low-ability learners with the high ability learners
  • 21. and help in leading discussions to ensure achievement of learning goals by the end of the course. Learning goals Learning goals state what the teacher intends the students to achieve as a result of a successful completion of the teaching experience. It could be at the end of a program, a course or learning experience. A course learning goal explains what the students will be capable to perform at the end of a course while program goal is what the student is capable of achieving at the end of their degree or diploma certificate. A well state learning goals should state the outcomes (Marzano, 2010). This is basically what the student will be in a position to do after they successfully complete the course. They should be simple and clear such that everyone comprehends them. They should focus more on skills rather than knowledge. This is because the employers of today look for thinking and performance skills when hiring. They should be relevant and focus more on what the students are to learn. They should not be too many. More than five learning goals may reduce the efficiency of learning and may lose focus. The learning goals should fit within the scope of the course content. Most importantly they should help the learners to achieve broader learning goals (Marzano, 2010). I aim that my students will be in a position to define integrated
  • 22. resources management by the end of the course. They student should be in a position to understand different sources of water and to be able to list causes of erosion and deposition. Lastly by the end of this course, students will be able to mention different laws and acts related to water an assignment. Rationale of learning goals The learning goals are important in terms of student development. There are different levels of objectives. Students should be in a position to reach objectives from various stipulated levels. They should demonstrate knowledge and understanding of integrated water resources as well as the ability to analyze, apply, synthesize and evaluate the provided learning content. (Ennis, et al 2012). In this course, students will acquire knowledge by identifying water resources and learning laws governing water resources. The students will analyze by comparing different water sources and how to harness water from these sources. They synthesize by doing experiments in the labs and through group discussion. Assessment instruments An assessment instrument is part of an assessment tool that includes instructions or a checklist needed to conduct an assessment of a learning outcome. An assessment instrument can either be a test, form or a rubric and it is used to collect data for each outcome. It is the actual product that is handed out to students for the purpose of gauging whether they have
  • 23. achieved a particular learning outcome (Suskie, 2018). Assessment tools measures fluency, skills and abilities of a student. Assessments can either be formal or informal. Formal tools are objective measurements of a students’ skills and abilities using monitoring, screening, evaluation and diagnosis. Informal assessment are inferences a teacher receives from observations. Assessment tools are used by teachers to make informed decisions. Rationale for learning instruments An appropriate assessment instrument will help a tutor to measure achievement of the outcomes. It also shows whether the desired performance for a particular outcome was achieved. Assessment instruments are important since they help to produce results that can be used to make decisions that would improve student learning techniques. Assessment can either be direct or indirect assessment. A direct assessment is achieved by observing a learner’s performance or examining of products that demonstrate mastery of specific skills or course contents. It can also be done when a learner demonstrates work quality such as innovativeness or creativity. Indirect assessment is based on the knowledge and abilities reported by external sources such as supervisors, alumni, fieldwork or a faculty. Setting Standards Setting meaningful assessment standards, benchmarks or targets for student learning assessments is a huge challenge for
  • 24. educators. The first challenge is that the assessment community has limited glossary to define different terms that refer assessment such as goals, thresholds, benchmarks or targets. I settled to use standards to describe minimal acceptable student performance. The other challenge is use of standard and target. Standard described minimal acceptable performance while target describe proportion of students to reach the standard mark. There are four ways that help in setting achievable standards. A students’ standard can be established from their peers (Norcini, 2003). This is done by ensuring they perform as well or better than their peers. Standard can also be set by an external body such as passing a license exam. History records can also be used in that the current students should perform better than the former students. However, most times the three options aren’t available. In this case teachers can set their own standards. This is called a local standard. The following steps are used when establishing a local standard; a teacher should settle on a standard that does not embarrass him or her. It would look ugly if people noticed a student that passed your course did so because you had a low assessment standard. A relative harm should be considered when setting an assessment to high or too low. A very high standard means a teacher is identifying shortcomings of a student that may not be important or scarce resources and time are used to address them. On the other hand, a very low assessment standard may mean
  • 25. that a teacher is risking students to graduate without being ready or capable to thrive in what comes next such as a job market (Norcini, 2003). Before setting a standard, the assignment being assessed should be considered. This is because a test done in a three-hour class will not be as polished as a three-week assignment. If an external source can be used to set the assessment standards the better. This could be a faculty from another college or a disciplinary committee. Lastly, use previous performance of the students to inform your thinking. Student assessment aims at fulfilling to interpret and use performance results effectively and appropriately to enhance accountability and improvement of teaching as a profession. A good assessment should yield results that are used to improve teaching and learning practices. Improvement helps stakeholders to have a self-reflection of the institutional goals and figure out if the performance conforms to the vision, mission and objectives therefore improving achievement (Ervin, 1988). The steps involved in setting a good quality assessment standard, is to first know the purpose of the assessment results which ca be to maintain a status quo or to enhance improvement. One should also know who will use the results and what they will inform. The second step is to state the consequence of setting a standard bar too high or too low. Lastly the standard to be set should be grounded to the data which is subjected to discussion in order to be aware if they
  • 26. have achieved the set standards. In this integrated water resource course I intend to use the following as my assessment standards. They include written exams that may be in form of short answer questions, essays and multiple choice questions. I will also use written assignments such as reports, work logs, portfolios, literature reviews and essays. Student will be required to do practical assignments that will test students’ abilities to cope with real world situations. Lastly, I will assess my students by how they participate in class. Rationale of assessment standards The assessment rationale for the students will be to confirm and measure students’ performance and achievement in relation to a students’ stipulated learning objectives. The rationale will also be to promote, improve and enhance the quality of learning through a clear feedback that is timely, informative and relevant to student needs. It will also reward the student achievements and efforts with an appropriate grading system. Lastly, it will provide relevant information that will help to continuously improve and evaluate quality of the curriculum and the effectiveness of the teaching methods.
  • 27. Evaluation of learning plan As a teacher, one is always working to improve the learning curriculum, organization and instruction. Evaluating lesson plans helps teachers to improve their practice, meet the learner’s needs and develop strong reflective habits. Part of evaluating a lesson plan results from evaluating lesson design. When preparing a learning plan the following questions should be considered; what is the purpose of the plan. This could be to know whether learning goals have been achieved. A teacher should also have an ability to foresee learning plan challenges and to know whether the learning plan is effective or not. To evaluate a lesson plan one should evaluate the preparation process, the lesson itself and the students (Knowles, 1975). The following questions can be used when evaluating the preparation process; How hard was it to plan the lesson and what made it hard to plan, how efficient were you in following the lesson plan, was it difficult to gather the materials required, how useful were the materials used in delivering the lesson. To evaluate the lesson itself a teacher should check if the goals set at the start of the class, which activity was well executed, whether all the students were engaged, were lesson goal successes confirmed after the lesson and finally if there was an assignment at the end of the lesson. The Stakeholders The Assessment and Evaluation of the learning outcomes of
  • 28. students or trainees in the various situation is a process that will involve all the stakeholders involved directly or indirectly. Stakeholders are individuals or a group of people who have an interest in the assessment and evaluation plan (Gardner, 2014). The Assessment and Evaluation process or plan will involve both internal and external stakeholders as the issues affect them both. The internal stakeholders are the students, teachers, administrators, and the staff while on the other hand, the parents the education standard body, alumni and the employer are the external stakeholders. The stakeholders have a say, and their actions can alter a decision in the institution and so they must be involved in every activity. Rationale of Stake Holders The involvement of the stakeholders in the evaluation and assessment plan is to ensure that there is a mutual understanding between all the parties involved. It is meant to prevent frustration and resistance during the assessment (Gardner, 2014). The other significant benefit of engaging the stakeholders is to get suggestions that might help you in coming up with a better and inclusive plan that will result in you achieving the objectives of the assessment and evaluation. The stakeholders can also act as sponsors in case the project needs funding or other resources. The involvement of stakeholder ensures that the best decision is made in every step of the process, which results in achieving the ultimate goal of the
  • 29. evaluation plan. Action Plan To Guide Implementation Before the actual implementation of the evaluation and assessment process, it is essential first to have an action plan. The action plan is the steps that should be followed to ensure that the evaluation plan will result in success and achieve the objectives (Banta et al., 2015). For that reason, then the action plan should be clear and direct to prevent confusions during the implementation of the actual project. Coming up with a practical assessment and evaluation plan, it is essential. First, plan on the tasks that will take place during the process, the time that every task will be expected to start and end, assess the risks that can be encountered at every step and also the resources that will be deployed for every task. Rationale Of Action Plan For Implementation Before implementing any plan, it is necessary first to have a laid-out plan of the activities and processes that will be involved in the actual implementation of the evaluation process. The action plan acts as a guide that indicates what should be done by whom, when, the resources needed to actualize the activity, the risks assessment and mitigation strategies for the risks (Banta et al., 2015). The action plan is essential when planning as it ensures that all the resources needed are assigned before going to the field. This prevents frustration and challenges. The action plan also acts as a sample of the actual
  • 30. project, and it is used to review and make changes before the real intention is implemented. It is essential always to have an action plan to guide you as it ensures everything is in its right place before performing the actual process. Closing The Loop My suggested assessment and evaluation plan aims at ensuring that the students, trainees or learners achieve the expected benefits from the program, and the institution. The project will determine if the expectations of the program in equipping the students with the skills and knowledge on the subject are met and what more can be done to enhance or change the situation. The plan will assess the effectiveness of what the students are learning and the impact it has on them and the society at large (Marzano, 2010). The assessment will determine if the program should continue or be scraped off depending on its effectiveness and response by the students. The Rationale Of Closing The Loop The importance of the evaluation and assessment of the learning outcomes of the program will determine if it is increasing any value on the students or is it a waste of time and resources (Shewbridge et al., 2011). If the data collected in the evaluation suggests that the program is not sufficient and its objectives are not being achieved then the program can be stopped as it is a waste of time and resources for the institution and the students. On the other hand, if the evaluation concludes that the program
  • 31. is effective and it is adding value to the stakeholders, more resources are deployed to support it, which will be beneficial for all the stakeholders. References Ennis, C.
