Assessment for Learning
Assessments for learning are to find out what students have learned and if they’re aligning to curriculum or grade-level standards
Identify at-risk students early
Adjust instruction accordingly and immediately
Monitor student progress
Frequent progress monitoring is an example of assessments for learning, where a student's academic performance is regularly assessed between benchmarks to determine if the current instruction and intervention is positively impacting student achievement or if adjustments need to be implemented
Assessment of Learning
Assessments of learning are typically administered at the end of a unit or grading period and evaluate a student’s understanding
They are summative assessments or also known as 'assessment of learning', that helps to summarize student knowledge, understand or can do against the relevant year level achievement standard for different learning areas/subjects, in order to report on achievement and progress.
Assessment of learning takes place after the learning has occurred.
They are used to plan future learning goals and pathways for students
They provide evidence of achievement to the wider community, including parents, educators, the students themselves and outside group.
Diagnostic Assessment
It is form of pre-assessment where teachers can evaluate students' strengths, weaknesses, knowledge and skills before their instruction
Diagnostic Assessment
Initial writing prompts
KWL charts
Running Records
Informal Reading Assessments
Pre-tests
Surveys
Journals
Examples include:
Performance Assessment
“Measures how well students apply their knowledge, skills, and abilities to authentic problems”.
Not simply a measure of content knowledge, requires students to apply knowledge to new situations

Students produce a piece of work that is then scored against specific criteria
Examples of work that can be assessed in this way:
an experiment
a performance
a report
a public presentation of work
The assessment may include multiple performance tasks
Closely related to project-based learning. Key features of a project are…
inquiry/exploration
extended duration
iteration (multiple revisions)
Assessment as Learning
Assessment as Learning is a meta-cognitive strategy that places students with the responsibility of assessing themselves.
students can be asked to think and reflect about their performance, their strategies, effort, and/or areas they can improve in.
this self-assessment can be done in various ways including using a rubric, as written self-reflection, as an oral reflection, or in discussion with their peers.
sharing their reflections with peers can also aid in students' rethinking and adjusting their learning.

This type of assessment is used in the first attempt of developing instruction.
TYPES OF FORMATIVE ASSESSMENT
Ongoing assessments provides continuous feedback on the effectiveness of instruction.
They indicate areas where a change in instructional strategy may be needed.
It measures learning outcomes and teaching outcomes, what students have learnt, and what they are having difficulty with.
It is used to identify learner successes and problems, for determining grades, and to determine instructional priorities.
Provides a way for teachers to gather key information
Shows us what students know and are able to do prior to instruction.
You can learn about student interests and learning styles are.
They are tasks or performance-based, providing evidence to help teachers effectively.
Allows us to match instruction with the needs of students.
Teachers can decide pacing, materials, grouping, and specific learning activities for the unit.
Pre Assessment
Examples: graphic organizers, pre-tests, games, yes or no questions, mind maps,Anticipation journals
Drawing related to topic or content, surveys, etc.
Goals:
Monitor student learning to provide feedback.
Identifies the first gaps in instruction.
Provides feedback so teachers can focus on for further expansion of instruction.
Assessment used at the end of a period of learning, such as a term, module, or semester
Purpose
: To measure how much a student has mastered the knowledge and skills of a particular set of work.
Examples:
Tests
Projects,
Demonstrations
Presentations
Performances
Portfolios
Types of Tests:
Unit Tests
Mid-terms
Final Exams
Standardized Tests (SAT, GCSE, GED, etc)
Alternative Summative Assessment Ideas:
plays
movies
podcasts

Differentiation in Summative Assessment
: "Summative assessments can be differentiated in terms of complexity of the language of directions, providing varied options for expressing learning, degree of structure versus independence required for the task, the nature of resource materials, etc. What cannot be differentiated is the set of criteria that determine
success." (2014, Tomlinson, C.A. & Moon, T.)
