Different types of assessments
Diagnostic Assessment
:check:
What
A diagnostic assessment is a form of pre-assessment where teachers can evaluate students’ strengths, weaknesses, knowledge and skills before their instruction.
:check:
Why it is used
To get a snapshot of where students currently stand - intellectually, emotionally or ideologically - allowing teachers to make sound instructional choices as to how to teach the new course content and what teaching approach to use.

Performance Assessment
:check:
What
Performance assessment, also known as alternative or authentic assessment, is a form of testing that requires students to perform a task rather than select an answer from a ready-made list.
:check:
Why it is used
Performance assessments may be a more valid indicator of students' knowledge and abilities. There is a big difference between answering multiple choice questions on how to make an oral presentation and actually making an oral presentation.
More important, performance assessment can provide impetus for improving instruction, and increase students' understanding of what they need to know and be able to do. In preparing their students to work on a performance task, teachers describe what the task entails and the standards that will be used to evaluate performance. This requires a careful description of the elements of good performance, and allows students to judge their own work as they proceed.

Assessment of learning
What and why?
usually summative
End of tasks, units, or semesters
Set future teaching and learning goals
Used as evidence for a variety of stakeholders
Examples
Examinations
Report cards
Portfolio grades (not the formative assessment used during portfolio construction)
Assessment for learning
What and why?
occurs throughout the learning process
makes learning visible for students
Helps teachers and students understand where learners are in their learning and where they need to go and how to get there
differentiated for learners' needs
Examples
structured, well-designed questioning strategies to check and progress learning
Written feedback on work that guides students to next steps in their learning, not just 'Good work'
Observations and notes while students perform tasks
informal conversations
simple quizzes (paper or online)

Assessment as learning
What and why?
constructivist and cognitivist teaching and learning
critical analysis and evaluation of own learning
Learners create their own understanding and learning
autonomous learners that can monitor and adjust learning as needed
Examples
metacognitive talk to guide metacognitive cycle
structured and unstructured peer checks
direct instruction and application of learning strategies (e.g., CALLA)
student goal-setting and goal checking
learning journals that encourage metacognition
exam wrappers

Formative Assessment
Assessments are a great way that teachers and students can monitor progress. Formative assessments can figure out learning gaps, identify which students are struggling, and help the teacher further plan their lessons to help their students and close those learning gaps. A formative can come anytime during the unit. Usually after something big was studied to know which students really understood the materials.
Summative Assessments
.
Summative Assessments are used to evaluate learning and understanding at the end of the instructional period. These could come at the end of an unit, period, and or term. Summative assessments are always graded where as a formative does not have to be graded but used as an evaluation tool. A summative should be used in conjunction with a formative.
