Assessments
-
Formative
Definition: A formative assessment allows students to present evidence of their learning. This allows facilitators to gather evidence and provide feedback on how to modify or change the instruction. These little to no grade value assessments allow instructional strategies to be adjusted to enhance achievement within the classroom.
CFA: A common formative assessment is typical administered throughout a content unit every week/two weeks. Students will complete this individually and it could consist of 3/4 questions relating to their current TEKS.
Bell Ringer: A BR is administered to students as soon as they walk in the door. They will have around 5 minutes to complete their problem independemtly. Typically a think-pair-share could follow this activity to get students talking about what they know and still need to know. It also allows the teacher to walk around and observe understanding through topics of conversation.
Interim/Benchmark
Definition: Interim/Benchmark assessments are utilized periodically throughout the school year. While there is little to no feedback that is provided, this formal approach allows students to create projects, complete written examinations and even tests after every six weeks or so.
District Assessments: District assessments follow the learning of 3/4 content units and are administered every 7/8 weeks in a school district. These questions are multiple choice, usually administered online and include a variety of questions from all previous units.
E-Book Project: Following two alike content units, an E-book including both concepts learned, with intertwined content explanations would be beneficial for students. These projects will be graded according to a rubric and could be administered following 6 weeks of content time.
Summative
Definition: Summative assessments are a high stake form of testing following an entire unit or a large amount of learning. These major assessments require reviewing and follow important content information.

Mid-Term Essay: An essay following the first 18 weeks of school can assess what the students have learned throughout various units and how they are able to intertwine and build upon one another.
Performance
Definition: A performance assessment requires students complete a task or demonstrate their understanding. Contrary to completing a test or questions, they have to prove their understanding through their actions.
Portfolio: Students should compile their understanding and create an overall project to share as their understanding over a topic.
Flip Grid: Students create an online video with either an individual explanation or a group "act out" of a specific concept. This could also be students answering a prompting question to demonstrate the process of something they have learned.
Diagnostic
Definition: Diagnostic assessments can be seen as a preface or a pre-assessment to a concept or unit. This allows a facilitator to witness misconceptions, strengths and even weaknesses that will need to be heavily addressed. Overall a diagnostic assessment helps a teacher reach student needs.
Fact Fluency: A small pre-assessment on a student's math facts can aid a teacher in noticing which fact families stump students. These can be given in a high speed environment prior to a unit that involves multiplication and/or division.
Checklist/Surveys: This can be administered prior to each unit. Students and their families can answer questions and rate their current understanding on topics that will be addressed in the unit.
