What are the differences of texts that inform, persuade, and entertain? What are similarities?
Formative
Definition: measures the progress of continuous learning as a lesson is completed. This provides the instructor with information and evidence that can guide possible changes that need to be made throughout a unit/lesson. to increase student success.
Journal Entry/Brain Dump: At the end of a lesson (daily or weekly) students will write about what they learned in one sentence, what they found interesting, and/or what they still find confusing. A variety of questions can be used (or just prompt students to write about what has been taught and how they feel about it) but the answers that students provide can provide evidence on whether a lesson needs to be re-taught or accelerated based on their feedback.
Turn and Talk: Students are given a meaningful prompt/question/or topic related to the lesson and they talk with a partner about it. Teacher listens in to check for student understanding and uses the evidence to gear the lesson in a specific direction based on student feedback.
-
Interim/Benchmark
Definition: These assessments are periodic throughout a year and provide minimal/nonexistent feedback to students. These assessments are formal and compare student performance to a set of objectives during the school year.
STAAR Interim Assessments is a tool that school districts can use to monitor progress, predict summative assessment performance, and identifies students that may need intervention.
F&P Running Records are assessed at the beginning of the year, middle of the year, and end of year and determine where a student is at in their progress during the year. The periodic intervals of this assessment predicts if a student will meet their goals or if they will fall behind or be ahead. The information of this assessment can guide intervention throughout the academic year.
Summative
Definition: the purpose of this is to confirm proficiency and accomplishment to a specific outcome/goals related to a unit. These are less often and measure progress over a set amount of time.
STAAR (State of Texas Assessments of Academic Readiness) measure specific standards/objectives that have been learned over the course of an academic year for a particular level. The goal is to measure whether a student is ready for the next grade level or not in Texas.
-
The ACT/SAT are both high-stakes college-entry exams. They evaluate the skills needed to succeed in college and confirm the proficiency of these skills attained through pre-collegiate education.
Diagnostic
Definition: these assessments serve the purpose of identifying strengths and weaknesses that students have. These tests help develop specific goals, differentiate instruction, guide intervention, or group students in order for them to meet their specific goals.
Primary Spelling Inventory is a diagnostic assessment that measures what knowledge students have acquired in listening, reading, and spelling. The results of this assessment show what misconceptions students have when it come to certain patterns in words they constantly interact with.
-
Sight Word List Readings are used to assess high-frequency word automaticity. Students are shown a word and they read it and the teacher notes any mistakes to identify patterns on misconceptions the student may have.
Performance
Definition: Students demonstrate understanding by directly showing what they know and what they have learned through an open-ended task.
Short Response/Essay: the students will respond to an open ended prompt to demonstrate their learning.
Presentation: students create a presentation using technology to demonstrate their understanding on a topic. Students will use a rubric to meet requirements.
