There are different types of assessments that are done with observations that can help reach assessment goals. One is Performance Assessment is assessing students as they participate in daily activities, write stories, solve problems, and draw illustrations. Teachers observe and take brief notes on student discussions and interactions. Teachers review student work, determine strengths and weaknesses, and keep track of progress over time.

For example, If Amy likes dinosaurs I can count the dinosaurs (math), bring in books on dinosaurs
