Different Types of Teaching Assessments
Not what you're looking for?
I need to write an explanation of the assessment practices that I will use in my lesson. Address the following in my response:
- Describe the assessment(s) you selected for your lesson. Then provide a rationale for using the assessment method(s) you selected.
- What student data from these assessments, as well as other sources, would be useful to inform your instructional decisions and support your students prior to beginning the lesson (e.g., readiness levels, interests, information related to family/community, learning preferences, student work, high-stakes test data, district assessments etc.)? What other key resources (i.e., resource specialists, family members, etc.) could you use to support student learning and progress toward learning goals?
- Explain how you would use diagnostic assessment in your lesson. For example, what important misconceptions might you identify prior to teaching the lesson?
- Describe how you will use ongoing formative assessment to monitor student progress toward the learning goals of your lesson and to inform future instruction. Remember that formative data should be collected continually to determine students' progress in meeting the learning objectives and standards. Formative assessments also allow you to gauge if reteaching or using different types of activities are necessary to ensure all students are learning and achieving.
- Explain at least one summative assessment you will use to ensure students have achieved the learning goals of your lesson.
