Assessment of Learning
ex: presentation, portfolio, final exam, midterm exam,
or project

why: assists teachers in knowing and measuring levels of students achievement against learning goals and standards. It will help teachers with grading, ranking, placement and redesigning
future content and provides feedback to parents and others in the larger community.
Assessment for learning
what: allows teachers to use evidence/data about student's knowledge, understanding and skills to inform their teaching. Sometimes known as "formative assessment".
ex: quizzes, exit tickets, worksheets, venn diagram, KWL charts
why: to help teachers get to know student knowledge and differentiate lessons. Teachers can know areas of struggle, points of review and levels of mastery based off assessment data
Ipsative Assessment
Why: teachers can use these assessments to focus on students progress and achievement over the course of time, beginning, vs middle, beginning vs end of the year. The assessment will showcase as students "personal best" and can show immense growth of individual students in contrast to "norm referencing tests.
ex. portfolios, video recordings of readings, speeches or performances to document progress over time
ex. a similar test given before, "retest", "Makeup"

Assessment as learning
what: assessments done by students or that include students in the process, during or after learning
ex: self-reflection, peer review, feedback through discussion or survey
why: to help students be involved with learning, help develop critical thinking skills, responsibility over learning, and collaboration. Students are also getting practice in giving formal or informal feedback and work with teacher towards making and mending learning goals
