        Formative assessments are used to provide academic support as learning is taking place.
        
        Some examples include: detailed feedback on journal entries and other written work, quizzes, self-assessments.
        
        Formative Assessment
    - - Diagnostic assessments are sets of written questions (multiple choice or short answer) that assess a learner's current knowledge base or current views on a topic/issue to be studied in the course.
        
        Characteristics of a Diagnostic Assessment
        Used prior to a new lesson or unit or at the beginning of a semester.
        Establishes a baseline to compare what a student knew prior to a lesson and what they learned after in order to measure growth.
        Discover areas of knowledge that are familiar or already known by a student in order to accelerate the lesson.
        Discover areas that are unfamiliar or even foreign to a student in order to build background knowledge.
        Used to drive instruction in order to differentiate according to student's strengths and weaknesses.
        
        Example Literacy Diagnostic Tools
        Phonics Inventory
        Running records
        Intervention- or curricula-specific diagnostic tools
        Word list reading
        Analysis of student work (e.g., classroom assignments, work samples, tests)
        Observation and anecdotal notes
        Student or family interviews or checklists about reading behaviors
        
        Example Mathematics Diagnostic Tools
        Analysis of student work (e.g., classroom assignments, work samples, tests)
        Intervention- or curricula-specific diagnostic tools
        Observation and anecdotal notes
        Student or family interviews or checklists math behaviors

- - - - Summative assessments are used to evaluate students' progress at the end of the term, semester, or school year.

        Common types include: end-of-unit or chapter tests, standardized tests, e.g. (Act, SAT, etc.), portfolios, capstone projects.

        With a capstone project students are using what they learned and applying it to a project; they are there utilizing multiple skills at once when completing these projects.

        The ACT is both a formative and summative test to test student's content knowledge spanning multiple subjects.
      - Summative Assessment
    - - Definition
        A test in which the test taker actually demonstrates the skills the test is intended to measure by doing real-world tasks that require those skills, rather than by answering questions asking how to do them.
      - Major types of performance assessment
        
        Performance Event
        This is an on-demand performance assessment on which students are given little or no time to rehearse before performing or responding, and limited opportunities to improve their initial performance. Such assessments may take a class period or less to administer.
        
        Performance Task
        In this type of performance assessment, students have days, weeks, or months to prepare a response. The resultant work may be lengthy and comprise multiple parts, involving multiple responses of different types to multiple prompts. Embedded in the task may be written-response items, presentations, papers, student self-reflections, performances, and so forth.
      - Elements of a quality performance assessment
        
        Aligns to learning targets &21st targets skills
        
        Is open-ended & relevant to the real world
        
        Requires application & transfer of learning
        
        Is fair & culturally responsive
        
        Outlines clear criteria for success
        
        Results in original products or solutions
      - How to design a quality performance assessment?
        
        Step 1 Design Assessment
        
        Step 2 Validate Assessment
        
        Step 3 Modify Assessment
        
        Step 4 Field Test Assessment
        
        Step 5 Calibrates Student Work
        
        Step 6 Revise Assessment
        
        Step 7 Report
      - Example
        
        Sixth grade students in Winchester worked together to design and co-construct a 2-D model representing the unique attributes of Fertile Crescent civilizations.

      - :star: Benefits :star:
        
        helps to track student progress
        
        encourages a "growth mindset": learning is a process and students can learn anything if they put in effort and try
        
        enhances self-esteem, motivation, and accountability
        
        emphasizes student's to try to beat their best record, they're competing against themselves, not anyone else
      - :question: How To :question:
        
        Choose one assignment that will have at least 2 stages
        
        Look at the student's current and previous work
        
        Ask the student what they had trouble with, what they can improve on, and what they have done well
        
        Decide on and share the student's progress thus far
        
        Have the student reflect on what steps they should take next and come up with goals together
