formative assessment |\
used during the learning process to gauge student understanding
|\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\
and guide further learning
|\ |\ |\ |\
summative assessment |\
a tool for evaluating student learning at specific points, such as
|\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\
at the end of a unit, semester, or academic year; often in the
|\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\
form of a quiz or test|\ |\ |\ |\ |\
formal assessments |\
structured evaluations that adhere to predetermined criteria and
|\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\
are often standardized, summative,benchmark assessments
|\ |\ |\ |\
informal assessments |\
more flexible and spontaneous, occurring during everyday
|\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\
classroom activities |\
ex formative,progess monitoring and ipsative
|\ |\ |\ |\ |\
Weekly quizzes |\
,Criterion-Referenced
determine whether students have achieved specific learning
|\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\
objectives or criteria, but they may compare student
|\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\
performance to external standards or benchmarks, not just their
|\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\
previous performance.
|\
Progress monitoring |\
assessments track individual student progress over time but may
|\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\
compare it to external standards or norms, not necessarily
|\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\
against the student's previous performance.
|\ |\ |\ |\
Ipsative
Which assessment measures student progress against their
|\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\
previous performance rather than against external standards or
|\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\
norms?
progress monitoring |\
the ongoing process of using assessment data to track students'
|\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\
academic growth and development
|\ |\ |\
,specific, measurable, attainable, relevant, time-bound (SMART)
|\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\
goals
an essential framework used in education for setting specific,
|\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\
measurable, achievable, relevant, and time-bound objectives to
|\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\
guide and evaluate progress effectively
|\ |\ |\ |\
Specifically
Goals should be clear and precise, outlining exactly what needs
|\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\
to be accomplished.
|\ |\
Measurable
Goals should include criteria for measuring progress and success.
|\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\
Measurable goals allow teachers to track student performance
|\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\
objectively
backward design |\
a strategic approach to curriculum planning that starts with
|\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\
identifying clear end goals or learning outcomes of a course or
|\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\
lesson before planning the instructional strategies and
|\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\
assessments
content standards |\
, also known as academic standards or curriculum standards,
|\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\
outline the specific knowledge, skills, and concepts that students
|\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\
are expected to master at a particular grade level or course
|\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\
learning objectives |\
a specific, measurable statement that describes what students
|\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\
should know, understand, or be able to do as a result of
|\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\
instruction
condition
the specific circumstances under which the assessment takes
|\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\
place or learning occurs, including any necessary tools or
|\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\
resources
ex- after group work or reading or Given a set of geometric
|\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\
shapes
behavior
the action or skill students are expected to demonstrate to
|\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\
produce observable and measurable outcomes
|\ |\ |\ |\
ex student will complete esssay
|\ |\ |\ |\
measurable criterion |\
