Dear Families,
Types of Assessments
The Summative Assessment takes place after the learning occurs; after
the lesson Is over. This can be after a lesson that I taught is over, a unit
is over, or the grade is over. These kinds of assessments help us
determine the student’s level of mastery. This can include a unit test, a
project-based assessment, or a state or city-based assessment.
Why Use Them All?
Through my explanation of each form of assessment I wanted to tell
you how I plan to assess the students as well. However, all of these
types of assessment are used for different purposes so we can figure out
how the students are, or are not learning in different ways.
Examples of Assessments
Diagnostic Assessment
KWL Chart- A KWL chart stands for what you know, what you
want to know and what you learned. This can be used as a
Diagnostic Assessment through filing out the first two columns
prior to beginning to lesson and finding out what students
already know and what they would like to learn.
Formative Assessment
Exit Tickets-Exit tickets are often used for students to write one
fact they have learned and one fact they are still confused about.
However, they can have various questions on them that help us
confirm that learning has occurred.
Summative Assessment
Unit Test- For a unit test, we will test the students on their
ability to put together the knowledge they have learned from
various lessons throughout the unit.
Grading
Think of grading as a letter. A,B,C,D,E,F. I am sure that is how
most of us think of it and that is correct. Also think of grading
as us as teachers grading how the students are preforming on a
task.
Scoring
When you think of scoring, think of this as a number or symbol
to help the student improve their learning for next time. Yes, we
are still trying to see how they are preforming on a task, but we
are also trying to where they sit in their learning process.
How Do Rubrics Fall Into All of This?
Rubrics are a great tool for students to understand why they lost
points on which part of their assignment and improve in the
places where they previously struggled as I have talked so much
about! However, it is so important for students to be involved in
creating the rubrics used in the classroom to grade their work,
so they understand them. Not only does it help with the rubrics
being put in a language they understand but it also helps with
there being a mutual respect created between the teacher and
the student.
