Forms of Assessment:
The various forms of assessment that I
use in the classroom are the following:

Assessment for learning: Is the use


of a task or an activity for the purpose
of determining student progress during
a unit of block of instruction. Two
types:
1) Diagnostic: Occurs before the lesson
in order to determine students
readiness to learn new material.
2) Formative: Occurs frequently
throughout instruction while students
are still gaining knowledge and
practicing their skills.
:

Assessment of learning: Is the use


of a task or an activity to measure,
record and report on a students level
of achievement in regards to specific
learning expectations. (Examples: an
end of unit project or test)
Assessment as learning: Is the use
of a task or an activity to allow
students the opportunity to use

so that assessments for your
child are:
1. Fair, transparent and
equitable

3. Carefully planned
4. Clearly explained to
students and parents at
the beginning of the

5. Ongoing and varied,
and provide multiple
opportunities for
students to
demonstrate their
learning
6. Including feedback that

The
Achievement
Chart:
The achievement chart provides
a way to organize the
knowledge and skills that
students need to demonstrate
into four broad categories of
knowledge and skills.

Classroom
Planning:
Each subject has Curriculum
Documents that outline the
Overall Expectations, which are the
knowledge and skills that students
are expected to demonstrate by
the end of each subject.

Backwards
Design:
Backward design is the method of
design I use when planning my
units. Backwards design is the
process of beginning with the
objectives of a unit and what the
students are expected to learn.
From there I work backwards to
create lessons and assessments
that achieve those desired goals.
