Description of Idea
I use this assessment at the end of the unit as a whole-class assessment. I ask the students on the sidelines for their input on the student's performance. The student can have as many "tries" as the teacher sees fit.
At the end of the baseball/softball unit, the instructor can assess the proper batting form for each student. The instructor may have it as a whole-class assessment, where one student comes up to the batting tee at a time, or as a peer-assessment where teacher-assigned groups take turns assessing others.
Variations:
Numerous tries.
Use a more appropriate size ball/bat.
Adjust height of batting tee for each student.
