Teaching: Assessment Class Exercise

 *Remember BEST R 

Types of Assessments

Informal: Verbal response to how a student is doing; walking by them working and telling them they're doing good; giving casual feedback

Formal: A written exam or test that gives a grade to establish how well you are doing

  • Summative: sums up learning that has already happened; example is a chapter or unit test or mid-term
  • Formative: measures learning as it is forming or happening; continuously asking questions
  • Informal summative: going question by question and explaining your thought process behind it
  • Informal formative: any questions verbally or casually

Diagnostic: seeing where a classroom is at in terms of skills/levels; diagnosing where your class is at depending on the levels of each kid in the class

Evaluation Indicators

Points: GPA

Percentage: Exam

Case Study on PowerSchool

  • Build and score assessments in different ways
  • Integrate AI into the assessment process (this takes away your credibility as a teacher; loses creativity)
  • Becomes a black and white assessment system that doesn't take students into account
