Summative assessment

When the final draft is completed, she will use a PARCC rubric to assess the students’ papers. She still considers this a formative assessment because she sees the PARCC test as the summative assessment of the students’’ learning. The teacher did not have a copy of the PARCC rubric, but I was able to assess one online. It provides analytic scales similar to the scores displayed on page 235 in our textbook Inside Out…

written test, so his best bet is formative assessments. By asking him to answer questions aloud, my assessment of his content knowledge will be fulfilled because I know that his attentiveness in class will allow him to be able to answer questions adequately. Therefore, I would give my students the option of taking summative assessments in a different way. I would either tier the complexity of the questions on an essay, or ask the students to complete their assessment any way they think would…

I have never heard of this term before, I like this form of assessment because it is a formative assessment. This form of assessment determines how well the students understand the material that is being taught at that time. Whereas, the summative assessment, is an end of the unit assessment, and is an accumulation of all the material that was taught in a certain unit. Going back to the diagnostic interview, to me this assessment would probably make the students comfortable when it comes to…

The use of assessment and why we do it. The information we get from assessment is extremely valuable. It 's not just a score but also quantitative data on how much of the material tested has been mastered by the student (Ronan, 2015). Information from these assessments are used to help educators guide and determine the path of instructional approaches they see as best for their students given what they already know about a topic and what blank spots need to be filled in. This helps teachers to…

REFLECTIVE COMMENTARY (if lesson was taught) Whole Group Analysis 1. What percentage of the whole class or group met the learning target/objective. Cite specific example and/or evidence. What criteria did you use to evaluate learning? What percentage did not meet the learning target? 100% of the class met the objective defining natural resources, renewable, and non-renewable resources. They were also able to use literacy strategies to decode the new vocabulary and properly placed the words…

Signature Assessment Purpose of Study Assessment is important for the teachers to do because they need to know where their students stand throughout the school year. “A formative assessment refers to focused and ongoing evaluations, like the scores on quizzes or the observation a teacher makes. A summative assessment comes at the end of a course of study, when students become accountable for their achievement.” Graves, M. & Juel, C. & Grave, B. & Dewitz, P. (2011). Teaching Reading in the 21st…

Lesson Plan: Assess and Evaluate Explain how your assessment and evaluate section promotes differentiation. The assessment that I used is formative assessment. Students complete the model activity and then present it to the class. The model activity, this is where students create a 3d model on a poster using pipe cleaners, packing peanuts, glue, scissors, yarn, and markers. As it stated by Tomlinson (2000), “Offering manipulative or other hands-on supports for students who need them” (pg. 1)…

the students their summative assessment (which again is usually the chapter review questions from the textbook), that the students are able to still continue in having a more enjoyable time in demonstrating to me what they are learning. In reflecting upon this and in regards to my chosen CSTP and current level of JOY in teaching and learning, I would like my reality to be a smooth class transition from direct instruction (including formative assessment) to summative assessment where the…

Assessment is universally acknowledged as a central tenet for the measurement of learning and attainment in schools (Wiliam D. , 2014). Over the last few decades, formative assessment, has been described as an effective means to support and measure learning, whilst promoting an inclusive classroom edict (Black & Wiliam, 1998). Formative assessment employs various teaching methods to gauge pupil understanding, measure progression and evaluate learning requirements. The overall process is…

The learning style assessment, in my opinion was very accurate with how I feel I study. The assessment consisted of a variety of questions that range from our everyday life out of school to the way we do stuff in classes. Some of the questions asked allowed you to choose multiple answers, which I feel they should have allowed this for the entire assessment rather than just a few. Once completing the assessment, it gave you a breakdown out of all three learning styles; audio, hands on, and visual…
