Week 2 Portfolio Reflection: Explain the difference between Assessment
FOR AS OF learning with examples.
Assessment for Learning Formative Assessment documents students achievement as well as guides instructional decisions and helps students learn. The main reason behind this type of learning is to help the students develop their knowledge through different type of assessments such as homework, projects, tests and observations. This type of learning is effective for teachers to identify how a student is progressing as well planning for future lessons. It is important for the teachers to be aware of the types of assessments they are doing e.g. if it a group assignment then the teachers need to be aware that ALL students are contributing and it is not just a reflection of one person in the group doing all the work. E.g. homework, in-class assignments, performance assessments, teacher observations, classroom tests, rich assessment tasks, Assessment of Learning - Summative assessment provides evidence of student achievement for purposes of public reporting and accountability. This type of learning is generally used at the completion of a covered topic to help the teachers understand how much the students learnt.
