Before we read, let's look at the illustrations. The illustrations in this book remind of a time I went to the zoo. Can you imagine a time you have gone to the zoo? What did it look like, sound like, and smell like?
Formative
Definition: Formative assessments monitor student learning and provide teachers with feedback that can be used to adjust/improve instruction. Formative assessments are typically low stakes, and they help students and also teachers recognize where they are struggling.
Examples of formative assessments include: teacher observations, informal quizzes, and turning in an assignment before the due date for early feedback
Diagnostic
Definition: Diagnostic assessments are typically given before instruction. These assessments determine what a student already knows about concepts/skills. These assessments also allow teachers to evaluate his/her students capabilities.
Examples of diagnostic assessments include: pre-assessments, running records in guided reading, and entrance tickets. These assessments allow teachers to evaluate student knowledge before the skill is taught.
Performance
Definition: Performance assessments are also known as an alternative/authentic assessment. This type of testing requires students to perform an actual task rather than selecting an answer from a set of answer choices.
Examples of performance assessments include: projects, responses in a journal entry, illustrations, and acting out characters in a book. These assessments require students to perform a task to show understanding.
Summative
Definition: Summative assessments show what students have learned by the end of an entire unit. They allow teachers to evaluate student mastery. Teachers often use summative assessments and compare results with a standard.
Summative assessment examples include: mid/end of term exams, and essays. Both of these forms of assessments assess student knowledge at the ends of a unit and allow teachers to evaluate student mastery.
Interim/Benchmark
Definition: These assessments are typically used to evaluate where students are in a learning process or to determine if they are on track for future assessments or even future grade levels.
Examples of interim/benchmark assessments include: STAAR, which is a Texas standardized test, and
MAP, which is a computerized test to show student achievement in the subjects of math and reading.
