What is EAGLE?
Enhanced Assessment of Grade-level
Expectations
EAGLE is an online system for teachers
and students that provides detailed
feedback about student learning of GLEs.
Teachers and students are involved in
assessment FOR learning so that the
teaching-learning process can be adjusted
at timely intervals.

How can Teachers use
EAGLE?
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
Create quizzes with items aligned to GLEs
Use a premade diagnostic test for pre and post assessment
Assign quizzes/tests to entire class or individual students
Communicate with students using the Message Center
Learn to score CR items with the Hand Scoring Tutorial
View immediate results for MC and some SA items
Analyze reports showing class and individual student
performance
Link directly to instructional resources aligned to the GLEs
Make timely interventions to adjust instruction and students’
learning throughout the school year
Use EAGLE as a tool to support formative assessment activities

How can Students use EAGLE?
•
•
•
•
•
•
Take quizzes/tests online to measure GLE-based skills
Receive immediate results for MC and some SA items
View meaningful reports showing actual performance
compared to goal set by teacher
Communicate with teacher using the Message Center
Assess mastery of GLEs using the Student Selfassessment Report
Learn to make adjustments to their own learning of the
GLEs

What is Formative
Assessment?
Formative assessment is a process used by
teachers and students during instruction
that provides feedback to adjust ongoing
teaching and learning for the purpose of
improving students’ achievement of intended
instructional outcomes.*

How can EAGLE Support
Formative Assessment Activities?




Student-friendly GLEs—help teachers communicate
goals and expectations with students.
Student Reports—show students how they are
progressing on each GLE tested and foster selfassessment.
Teacher Reports—inform teachers how individual
students and the class as a whole are progressing on each
GLE that has been tested.
Focused Instruction—Teachers may choose individual
items to use during instruction as a means of integrating
Formative Assessment into the daily learning process.

Seven Strategies of
Formative Assessment

6.
7.
Provide students with a clear and
understandable vision of each learning target.
Show examples of strong and weak work.
Offer descriptive feedback on a regular basis.
Teach students to self-assess and set goals.
Design lessons to focus on one learning target
or aspect of quality at a time.
Teach students focused revision.
Engage students in SELF-REFLECTION, and
allow them to keep track of and share their
learning.

How to create a Student-friendly
LEARNING TARGET
Example: Grade 5 Math GLE 27

GLE 27—Identify and plot points on a coordinate grid in the first
quadrant.

GLE Student-friendly version: Plot and name points on a coordinate
grid. (Student friendly GLEs are available in EAGLE.)



Word(s) to be defined: ‘coordinate grid’
Definition(s) of word(s) the student may not understand:
A coordinate grid has two perpendicular lines, or axes, labeled like
number lines. The horizontal line is called the x-axis. The vertical
line is called the y-axis. The point where the lines cross is called the
origin. (Show the students a picture with the x- and y-axes and origin
labeled.)
Student-friendly learning target: Have students use “I am learning to
…” statements: “I am learning to plot and name points on an x, y
grid.”
