Assessments (H.O.T. (Higher Order Thinking) Questions) (Guiding Questions,…
Assessments 
Summative
Definition: Educators review and retest to see if students are retaining information that is being taught to them
Examples: Cumulative final exam or year-end paper reflecting knowledge learned in a particular class
Definition: procedures, observations, etc. to get information that can be utilized in decision making about teaching strategies and students
There are 5 types of assessments (formative, interim, summative, performance, and diagnostic).
Diagnostic
Definition: Assessment to measure student's knowledge prior to instructions or class (purpose is identify what students do not know, but should and are assumed to know, and then change the learning plans to add this, if needed)
Examples: surveys and/or tests taken at the beginning of a class to observe what a student knows prior to educator's guidance; another could be a pre-performance activity
Performance
Definition: educators challenge students to perform a task, but differs from traditional testing in that students must decide how to accomplish tasks using their own resources (i.e. not selecting from a word bank or multiple answer choices)
-
Formative
Definition: informal/formal testing an educator uses to determine whether teaching procedures are effective or need to be modified (i.e. change the way information is being presented).
Examples: spelling test; take-home assignment (i.e. find and identify specific items at home to demonstrate knowledge gained during an in-class activity
Interim
Definition: Educators are testing to see where students' level of attainment and knowledge is, and whether they will continue to display good work or if it will only get more difficult as more information is taught
Examples: Standardized tests such as TEKS, CPA, or unit tests (given once a set of chapters are taught)
