Different types of assessments
Assessment of, as, and for learning - Assessments can be categorized into one of the various types, however their purpose in the classroom will usually be assessment of learning, as learning, or for learning.
Assessment
for
Learning
Examples:
Short Quizzes
Journal Entries
Classroom Discussion
Entry & Exit Tickets
This type of assessment is also known as formative assessments. It occurs throughout teaching and the learning process. There are formal and informal strategies to inform the teacher about the students' knowledge, understandings and skills, which can help teachers make decisions about future lesson differentiation and classroom management strategies. Diagnostic assessments can also be regarded as assessment for learning.
Assessment
of
Learning
Examples:
Exams
Portfolios
Final projects
Standardized tests

This type of assessment is also known as summative assessments. It assists teachers in using evidence of student learning to assess achievement against outcomes and standards. Usually this assessment happens at the end of a unit or semester as a grade. Other examples of assessments of learning are norm-referenced assessments and criterion-referenced assessments.
Assessment
as
Learning
Examples:
Peer assessment
Self assessment
Reflection
This type of assessment happens when students are able to track their own learning. It encourages students to be more responsible of what they know and can do to the new learning that will take place. Ipsative assessments are an example of assessment as learning.
Formative and summative assessment
Formative assessment
is an example of 'assessment for learning'. It helps to inform the teacher about how well the students have understood the concepts being taught which also helps the teacher plan lessons with differentiation in mind going forward.
Examples of formative assessments:
Portfolios
Group projects
Progress reports
Class discussion
Entry and Exit tickets
Regular quizzes using paper or online tools such as Kahoot
Anonymous voting/polls
'One minute' papers
Homework
Journal prompts
Mini whiteboards

Summative assessment
is an example of 'assessment of learning'. It can provide data that can be used to communicate student progress but it typically occurs at the end of a unit/semester, which does not allow as much flexibility for the teacher to identify areas in need of improvement and have sufficient time to actually work on improving these areas.
Examples of summative assessments:
Standardized tests
End of term/Mid-term exams
Final projects
End of unit test
Diagnostic assessment
Diagnostic assessment
can be used prior to beginning a new topic to assess whether students have the necessary knowledge of more basic concepts that they may require in order to fully understand the concept being focused on in class. It can inform the teachers as to whether students have 'mastered' the previous concepts studied to ascertain whether they are ready to move on to a more complex area of study.
Examples:
Quizzes
Journal entries
Interviews
Reflections
Discussion tasks
Graphic organizers (e.g. mind maps or KWL charts)

Performance assessment
Performance assessment / project-based learning is when students showcase their knowledge by directly demonstrating what they know through open-ended tasks like making a project, performing an activity, and constructing an answer. This assessment is used to measure if the student can
apply
the information they have learned.
Examples:
Being able to compose a few sentences in an open-ended response.
developing an essay with a thorough analysis.
Conduction experiments.
Assembling a portfolio of students' work.

Ipsative assessment
Ipsative assessment
is a form of 'assessment as learning'. Rather than comparing student assessment results with other students' results or with expected results, a student's results are compared with their prior performance on assessment tasks. This allows the students to see their own progress and set their own goals, which can motivate them to continue improving.
Examples:
Portfolios
Two-stage testing process
Project-based learning
Assessments for formulating futuristic education

Norm-referenced assessment
Norm-referenced assessments
are an example of 'assessment of learning'. They contrast with Ipsative assessments as norm-referenced assessments are assessments where students' performances are compared to that of their peers, whereas in the case of Ipsative assessments, students' performance is only compared with their own previous performance. Norm-referenced assessments can be useful when determining language ability, grade readiness, physical development, and college admission decisions.
Examples:
IQ tests
Physical assessments
Standardized college admission tests

Criterion-referenced assessment
Criterion-referenced assessments
are an example of 'assessments of learning'. This is where students' assessment results are compared to a set standard or performance level such as grade-level standards. It differs from norm-referenced assessment as this is a direct comparison among peers, whereas criterion-referenced assessment focuses solely on a specific standard. The assessment would take place at the beginning of instruction and then again at the end of instruction.
Examples:
Questionnaires and surveys.
Multiple choice questions.
True / False questions.
Open-ended questions.
A well-known criterion-referenced test is the Advanced Placement exam and the National Assessment of Educational Progress test.
