Assessments
Formative
Definition: Formative assessments in"form" teachers of their student's progress towards the learning objective. These assessments for learning guide the teacher to adjust their instruction as needed to ensure students are able to master the learning objective. These assessments are usually not of any grade value and as often referred to as "feedback" for and to the teacher.
Example: Whiteboards (1, 2, 3, Show Me) - The teacher can ask the students a question and the students can write their responses on the whiteboard. Once the students show the teacher their responses to the questions, the teacher can see the students' progress on the learning objective.
Example: Exit Tickets (Notecard) - At the end of the lesson or question, the teacher can have students answer a question, leave a comment, or ask a question on the notecard. This allows the teacher to check if a student progress during the learning objective.
Summative
Definition: Summative assessments "sum" up the students learning of the learning objective. Here, the teacher can determine if the students were able to master the learning objective and what steps they need to take moving forward.
Example: Standardized State Assessments (STAAR Exam) - The STAAR assessment measures students learning for the entire year. The data from these assessments will be used to shape the instruction for years to come.
Example: End of Year Final Project - This form of presentation requires students to present information from all information learned this year in a different format. Based on this data, the teacher can if the student was able to grasp the entire learning of the year.
Interim/Benchmark
Definition: This type of Formative Assessment happens more frequently than most formative assessments. These assessments check in with students more frequently throughout the school year to ensure they are and will be able to master the learning objective.
Example: 3-Weeks Exams - These types of assessments are given to students every 3 weeks to check for student progress throughout the term. Here, the teacher sees if there has been progressing in the students learning.
Example: Chapter Tests - Chapter tests can be given to students at the conclusion of every chapter of a book. This allows the teacher to see the student's reading comprehension before getting to the final project or the ending of the book.
Performance
Definition: Performance Assessments are assessments where students apply knowledge or skills to complete a process or create something.
Example: Oral Presentation -A student can retell and act out a story from their class reading to tell the important details of a story.
Example: Student Portfolio - A collection of the students work throughout the year and present that portfolio to other people.
Diagnostic
Definition: Diagnostic Assessments are used to inform teachers if students have any form of academic achievement gaps. These gaps address the student's strengths and weaknesses and what altering to the instruction is needed for the teacher to better address the student's needs.
Example: Pre-Assessments/Pre-Tests - Pre-Assessments help the teacher to a see what difficulties may have within a unit or course. Here, the teacher can take this data and plan for small-group instruction solely focusing on those skills needed.
Example: Running Records - Running Records are a way to measure students reading accuracy. Here, the teacher can see if any forms of weaknesses need to be addressed when referring to students reading fluency.
