Taylor Rivas' Assessments
Formative
Definition:
A formative assessment is used to monitor student learning as it is happening. These help teachers receive student feedback and adjust teaching and planning before moving on to a new part of the lesson.
Thumbs Up, Thumbs Down:
This is a form of formative assessment where the teacher gauges student understanding by having them point their thumb up or down. If students are fully understanding the content, they will put their thumbs up to show they are ready to move on. If the students are unsure, they can put their thumbs to the side to say that they understand but may need some help before moving on. If the student does not understand the content, they will put their thumbs down to show they are not ready to move on. The teacher can use this quick formative assessment to determine if they need to reteach or can move on.
Quick Checks:
This formative assessment helps the teacher assess the students on what they learned during that lesson. This helps the teacher determine the students' understanding of that topic and helps guide the next lesson.
Diagnostic
Definition:

ISIP:

An interim/benchmark is used to determine if the student's learning is where it is supposed to be at that time. It is also used to monitor student growth and guide student learning.
MAP Testing:
This test is given at the beginning, middle, and end of the year (usually labeled as BOY, MOY, and EOY). The student has reading and math goals that determine if they have growth between the testing dates.
Weekly Spelling Tests:
