      - 2 TYPES
        (Michigan Assessment Consortium)
        
        Performance Event
        "On-demand performance" with little or no rehearsal time and "limited opportunities to improve [the] initial performance."
        
        Since it's more about how the assessment is delivered, this can be used as summative or formative assessment.
        
        Performance Task
        A long-term (days, weeks, months), multi-step response that may even involve several different prompts. "Embedded in the task may be written-response items, presentations, papers, student self-reflection, and so forth."
  - - - "...traditional assessments answer the question 'Do you know it?' Performance assessment...answers the question 'How well can you use what you know?'" (ASCD)
      - Rigor/Relevance Framework (International Center for Leadership in Education)
- - - - Briefly put, AFL is a method of ongoing assessment before and throughout learning that allows a student immediate feedback on work they are currently engaged in and allows teachers to pre-assess and concept check in real-time so that the lesson can be adapted and evolve based on students needs.
        
        It can be used to identify a lack of knowledge and allow teachers to adjust future lessons to student needs.

    - - Allows teachers to adapt instruction based on results, making modifications and improvements that will produce immediate benefits for students’ learning.
      - Gives students evidence and feedback on their progress and motivates them to manage and adjust their own learning. Enables students to track their educational goals.
      - By understanding exactly what the students know before and during instruction, educators have much more power to improve student mastery of the subject matter than if they find out after a lesson or the unit is finished.
      - The strengths of formative assessment lie in the ongoing and feedback aspects. There is no end of formative assessment. Some can be big, some can be small but all must be continuous. In addition, formative assessment without feedback is like a car without a road. It serves no purpose. Moreover, feedback should be actionable and constructive. The students should know exactly what to do with the feedback and how they can move forward and improve.
      - 9 Benefits
        
        Defined learning goals - monitoring student progress regularly helps keep learning goals focused, so students have a clear target to work towards and teachers can help clear up misunderstandings before students get off track
        
        Increased rigour - formative assessment helps teachers collect quality information that indicates student needs. Once teachers have an understanding of what students need to be successful, they can create a rigorous and well-thought of learning environment that will challenge every student to grow
        
        Improved academic achievement - Providing students and teachers with regular feedback on progress toward their goals is the main function of formative assessment that will aid in increasing academic achievement. Formative assessment helps students close the gap between their current knowledge and their learning goals.
        
        Enhanced student motivation - Because formative assessment involves setting learning goals and measuring the progress towards those goals, motivation increases. When students have a focus on where they’re aiming, results skyrocket.
        
        Increased student engagement - Students need to find meaning in the work they are asked to do in the classroom. Connecting the learning objectives with real-world problems and situations draws students into the instructional activities and feeds their natural curiosity about the world.
        
        Focused and targeted feedback - Descriptive feedback should highlight gaps in understanding and specifically inform students on how they can improve their learning rather than listing what they got wrong, thus facilitating a reciprocal learning process between teachers and students
        
        Personalised learning experience - A close analysis of formative assessment data allows the teacher to examine their instructional practices in order to determine which are producing the desired results and which are not. Some that work for one group of students may not work for another group.
        
        Self-regulated learners - Teaching students the requisite skills to monitor and take responsibility for meeting their goals creates self-regulated learners. Give students examples of high-quality work along with multiple opportunities to review and correct their own work to build independent and autonomous thinkers.
        
        Evidence-based decisions - Using the data gathered from frequent learning checks empowers teachers to make sound, informed decisions that are grounded in data.
- - - - Summative assessment provides an essential benchmark to check the progress of students, institutions and the educational program of the county, district, state, country as a whole.
      - Assess cumulative student learning.
      - When done with care and consideration, they can be strong indicators of content mastery in a particular area
      - Helps teachers and schools gauge effectiveness of teaching methods from year to year.
      - Helps determine strengths and weaknesses of a given curriculum.
      - PERCEIVED DISADVANTAGES OF SUMMATIVE ASSESSMENT
        
        inauthentic (an artistic genius could be labelled underachieving in a maths exam)
        
        biased
        
        Little room for creativity
        
        Not accurately reflecting learning

        Ignores and misses learning needs
        
        ADVANTAGES OF SUMMATIVE ASSESSMENT
        
        For some, it motivates them to study and pay close attention
        
        Application of learning - gives students a chance to use what they’ve learned in maths class to solve a maths problem in a test
        
        Identifies gaps in learning
        
        Identifies gaps in teaching
        
        Gives teachers and schools valuable insights

    - - Generally speaking, summative assessments are defined by 3 major criteria
        
        Summative assessments are given at the conclusion of a specific instructional period, and they evaluate learning.
        
        The tests, assignments or projects are used to determine whether students have learned what they were expected to learn. In other words, what makes an assessment “summative” is not the design of the test, assignment, or self-evaluation, but the way it is used. In theory, a quiz designed for formative assessment could also be summative assessment.
        
        They will result in scores or grades that are factored into a student’s permanent academic record. Not all summative assessments are graded, but generally speaking, most are.

- - - - KWL CHART
        
        WORD SPLASH
        
        A simple technique that can be used at the beginning of a new unit or chapter. The instructor identifies key concepts and terms from the upcoming study and displays them preferably in a fun way on the board. Learners then brainstorm to make statements and connections with the words. They are also asked to predict how the words relate to the main topic.
        
        Mind Maps
        
        Quiz/test
        
        Questionnaires/Surveys
        
        Course curricula and textbooks often offer their own commercial diagnostic assessments. Teachers may also design their own when necessary.
        
        K = know W = want to Know L = learned, as a form of diagnostic assessment the instructor could complete the first two columns of the KWL chart with the students before undertaking the study.
      - A few questions about the topic given to the students before the lesson.
- - - - This is a type of assessment which checks the learners' abilities against a pre-determined set of criteria. It is used to evaluate the learners' progress in relation to goals, objectives and standards at each stage of a curriculum.
  - - - TEACHER-CREATED ASSESSMENT
- - - - WHY IS IT USED?
        
        Norm-referenced assessments place the student at a percentile among a norm group. Usually on a large scale like nationally at the same grade level but the norm group can be narrowed for ELL learners, race, socioeconomic status or other characteristics.
