Formative
Definition: An assessment that monitors student learning to help with providing feedback and modify lessons to focus on areas where the student body is struggling most. These assessments are considered low stakes and mainly help the teacher assess where they need to go in terms of their teaching.
Exit Ticket: Small piece of paper that the student turns in before they walk out the door. The exit ticket can focus on the main focus of the lesson. It is to show how effective the lesson on the particular day was.
Classroom Polls: The poll lets the students answer quickly and provide instant feedback for the teacher. This assessment is great for students who are shy and don't like speaking up. An example app would be Kahoot!

End of Course Exams: An assessment that is created by previous results of standardized tests. The teachers will look at what was missed most and choose questions that are similar.
Practice STAAR Essays: Essays that teachers can give in their classes at the end of the six weeks to prepare a student for the eventual STAAR essay that they will have to complete.
