FOUR TYPES OF ASSESSMENT, Assessment is an essential component of the…

- - - - Formative assessments help you track how student knowledge is growing and changing in your classroom in real-time.
      - Formative assessments help teachers understand student learning while they teach, and adjust their teaching strategies accordingly.
      - Formative assessment is more diagnostic than evaluative. It is used to monitor pupil learning style and ability, to provide ongoing feedback and allow educators to improve and adjust their teaching methods and for students to improve their learning.
    - - According to Popham (2011), formative assessment is a process that "involves the gathering and analysis of assessment-elicited evidence for the purpose of determining when and how to adjust instructional activities or learning tactics in order to achieve learning goals"
        
        Formative assessment is the lived, daily embodiment of a teacher’s desire to refine practice based on a keener understanding of current levels of student performance, undergirded by the teacher’s knowledge of possible paths of student development within the discipline and of pedagogies that support such development.
  - - - Impromptu quizzes or anonymous voting
        
        Short comparative assessments to see how pupils are performing against their peers
        
        One-minute papers on a specific subject matter
        
        Lesson exit tickets to summarise what pupils have learnt
        
        Silent classroom polls
        
        Ask students to create a visualisation or doodle map of what they learnt
- - - - The purpose of summative assessment is to provide evidence of the degree to which a student has mastered the knowledge, understandings, and skills of the unit.
        
        Summative assessments measure student progress as an assessment of learning and provide data for you, school leaders and district leaders.
        
        Summative assessment aims to evaluate student learning and academic achievement at the end of a term, year or semester by comparing it against a universal standard or school benchmark. Summative assessments often have a high point value, take place under controlled conditions, and therefore have more visibility.
        
        The goal of summative assessment is to evaluate student learning at the end of an instructional unit by comparing it against some standard or benchmark.
      - Definition
        
        Summative assessment is an assessment administered at the end of an instructional unit in a course. These assessments are intended to evaluate student learning by comparing performance to a standard or benchmark. They are often high-stakes, meaning they have a high point value. Examples of summative assessments include midterm exams, a final exam or a final project.
        
        Summative assessment is a type of course evaluation that happens at the end of a training or program. It is the process of assessing the student's knowledge, proficiency, and performance by comparing what they know with what they should have learned.
  - - - End-of-term or midterm exams
      - Cumulative work over an extended period such as a final project or creative portfolio
      - End-of-unit or chapter tests
      - Standardised tests that demonstrate school accountability are used for pupil admissions; SATs, GCSEs and A-Levels
- - - - History
        
        At the beginning of a unit on Ancient Greece, a teacher may give a pre-test to determine if the class knows the basic geography, history or culture.
        
        The class’ responses will determine where the teacher begins and how much time is dedicated to certain topics. The teacher may learn from this diagnostic assessment that many students already have knowledge on cultural aspects of Greece, but know little about its history.
        
        From this, they may adjust the lesson plan to spend a bit more time on the history and origins of Ancient Greece and slightly less on culture
      - English
        
        Simplistically, a word list of vocab for the upcoming unit that student must try to define.
        
        The teacher can identify which words are more well-known and which are more commonly challenging and adjust the unit content to emphasize the weaker areas
- - - - synthesize information from multiple sources
      - analyze that information
      - justify their conclusions
    - - In an English Language Arts Class: reading passages from primary documents, analyzing the set of passages, and writing an essay in response to a prompt
      - In a Mathematics class, a performance task might ask students to analyze a graph based on actual data and describe the linear relationship between the quantities
