Assessments (Diagnostic (What is it - process of questioning, testing, or…

- - - - Advantages - Provide a baseline for the class and a frame of reference for later assessments
        
        Disadvantages - a teacher can make incorrect assumptions about a students ability
        
        Example - a worksheet given at the beginning of a unit on quadratic equations to see what the students know
        
        Assessment for Learning - It supports student learning as it can help gear lessons to the ability of students in the classroom
- - - - Advantages - Allows students and teachers to check for understanding, doesn't create test anxiety.
        
        Disadvantages- May take up valuable instruction time in class**
        
        Example - Exit ticket on questions covering material from previous lesson**
        
        Assessment for Learning- The exit ticket is designed to support and advance student learning
- - - - Advantages - To provide academic records and record achievement
        
        Disadvantages - It can be disruptive to students and is not always an accurate reflection of learning**
        
        Example - Chapter test on linear equations**
        
        Assessment of Learning - Grades student work and certifies student achievement**
- - - - Advantages - student centered, and teachers can adapt their own teaching practices to results observed
        
        Disadvantages - takes time away from instruction of material
        
        Example- Test on exponents
        
        Assessment of Learning - to grade and assess student achievement
- - - - Advantages - Holds schools and teachers accountable for the job they are doing
        
        Disadvantages - creates stressful environment and are not always accurate reflections on teachers and students
        
        Examples - Standardized testing
        
        Assessment of Learning - certifies student achievement
- - - - Advantages - Allows students to reflect on their own work and self assess their overall learning
        
        Disadvantages - Students may only choose to show their best work, and this may not be a clear representation of the effort or overall learning that has taken place
        
        Example - Students create portfolio of math work done in class to show the process of learning throughout the unit covered on quadratic equations
        
        Assessment for Learning - students use this assessment to monitor progress and self evaluate their learning of the material covered during a unit
- - - - Advantages - Allows students an opportunity to show what they have learned in class in a format that is not a test or quiz
        
        Disadvantages - For math students, math involves understanding steps and processes of solving specific problems so this may not be an accurate reflection of learning in a unit
        
        Example - students use systems of linear equations to come up with a real world application for a problem that needs to be solved and solve the system of equations
        
        Assessment for learning - Students are able to gauge understanding of material with ability to complete the project and reflect on ones learning
- - - - Advantages - Helps students stay involved and motivated as well as puts the responsibility of learning on oneself
        
        Disadvantages - Students may lack experience in assessing of themselves and not set goals or evaluate progress correctly
        
        Example- Students practice set group of problems, teacher does similar problems on the board, students check own work for mistakes
        
        Assessment for Learning - Self assessment helps students support and advance their learning
- - - - Advantages - Can enhance evaluators own learning and self confidence as well as personalize the learning experience
        
        Disadvantages - Students are not trained on evaluation or feedback strategies and without clear guidelines poor feedback could limit learning opportunity
        
        Example - students solve problem on the board of solving system of linear equations and then check peers work for mistakes
        
        Assessment for Learning - Peer Assessment is designed to aid student learning and help foster an environment where students support each other in learning
