YNM1 Task 3: Developing a Summative Performance Assessment
B1: Alignment
The Alignment guarantees that educational activities, assessments, and learning objectives
are designed to achieve desired outcomes. By aligning prompts with course objectives and
student learning outcomes, educators provide a clear framework that guides students in applying
knowledge and skills in a meaningful way. This alignment fosters consistency, reinforces key
concepts, and ensures that students actively work toward the specific competencies required for
success in the course or program. Each prompt in the summative performance assessment is
carefully aligned with at least one course objective and student learning outcome to ensure
relevance and coherence. A summative assessment describes student achievement after the
instructional process is completed and a course grade is assigned (McDonald, 2017). These
alignments are as follows:
The first prompt analyzes the main health problems caused by the wildfire and how it has
affected the community. This aligns with course objective one, which is to analyze the role of
community health nurses in disaster management, including preparedness, response, and
recovery, by evaluating evidence-based practices and interdisciplinary collaboration. Student
learning outcome one is to apply evidence-based practices in disaster management as a
community health nurse, focusing on preparedness and response strategies. This aligns with the
prompt by having the students analyze health problems caused by the disaster, which reflects the
nurse's role in disaster response and preparedness, and having the students evaluate evidence-
based practices while identifying disaster-related health problems.
The second prompt is to design a plan to help people with breathing problems caused by
the wildfire. This aligns with course objective two, which is to develop a comprehensive disaster
