Formative
Definition: The process of gathering evidence of student learning in order to provide feedback, adjust instruct strategies for certain students and so students can change their behavior.
Examples 1 & 2
Students will create a one minute audio recording pretending they are a newscaster recapping today's lesson. This will be a great way to see the big picture that student's took out the lesson.
I will write a false statement on the board and the students will correct the statement. This is a very easy way of checking students comprehension on a specific topic.
Interim/Benchmark
Definition: This is a test given during the school year, normally during the middle and at the end of the school year. This is a great way for teachers to measure a students progress as a whole and make sure students are on track to do well on future exams.
Students will take the STAAR test at the end of every year. Different test subjects are tested in different grades and not every grade will take the same test. This is a measure of a students success as a whole and shows mastery levels for each student.
Students will complete a benchmark test during the middle of the year as a tool to prepare for the STAAR test and other big exams. This is used to determine a students future success on the STAAR from where they are right now. It shows what students will need to work on before the actual test.
Summative
Definition: This is a type of assessment given at the end of a unit to measure how much students have learned. These are normally taken for a grade and help teachers determine mastery levels for students.
Students will take a fifty question multiple choice, true/false, matching, fill in the blank and one short answer question. This test will cover everything students have learned in a specific unit. I will include bonus questions.
Students will write a research paper over a specific topic covered in this unit. Students will construct a thesis statement and so some outside research combined with their knowledge, notes and work sheets from this unit. This will be a great test and fun project for students to work on.
Diagnostic
Definition: This is a type of assessment given before the actual lesson to determine what students already know about the topic. This type of assessment helps teachers plan their lessons accordingly to what students might already know well and what they don't know at all.
Students will complete a KWL chart before the lesson has begun. The last chart will be completed after the lesson. The first column students will write a short answer about what they already know about the topic. They will complete the next column which is what they want to know.
Students will create a small concept map with a maximum of 5 extra bubbles to show what they know or think they know already about a topic. This will not be taken for a grade. Students should have some fun with this.
Performance
Definition: This is a type of assessment where students must complete a real-world task or project, rather than traditional testing by answering questions. This is a unique and fun way of testing what students know about a particular topic.
Students will participate in a short skit/play during class. This could involve a wide variety of topics but it's an excellent way to get students involved in the lesson and "experience" the real world problems.
Students will write a journal/diary entry from the perspective of a figure in history. It is essential students put themselves in the others shoes and really envision what it would be like to live during this time.
This is a population density map. The darker colors mean more people live there and the lighter mean less people! :
