Previously Known As: Diagnostic Assessment
Details: This type of assessment provides information about a student’s knowledge and skills before learning takes place (usually at the beginning of the school year or unit of study).
Examples: performance tasks, surveys/questionnaires, KWL charts, graphic organizers, conferences
Details: This type of assessment usually consists of a series of assessments of a student’s skills and knowledge as learning is taking place. This type of assessment provides teachers with valuable feedback on the success of the lesson as it progresses. Teachers are also able to provide immediate feedback to students to keep them motivated and to guide their learning.
Examples: anecdotal notes/observations, checklists, exit cards, peer/self-assessments, discussion, journal entries
Details: This type of assessment takes place at the end of a learning unit. Used together with diagnostic and formative assessment, summative evaluations provide information about a student’s progress over time.
Examples: performance tasks, projects, presentations, written tests, portfolios
