Example: Mid-Term Exam

A mid-term exam is an example of a summative assessment because it is used to determine a sum of evidence at the culmination of a designated point in time (in this case, after a semester of work). This is an example of an assessment of learning because it is given at the same time each year, many times is the same exam across classes of the same subject area/grade level, and uses the test solely as the primary data source. A mid-term grade receives its own grade on a report card. This holds students accountable for the information they learned for 2 quarters of school.

Example: Dynamic Indicators of Basic Early Literacy Skills (DIBELS)

The DIBELS assessment is an example of assessment of learning as this is a standardized test which follows the same set of rules for every student that takes it. The test is the primary source for data. While the DIBELS may also fall under assessment for learning because the teacher can use the results to help guide their instruction for the student, ultimately the test is given during the same time periods throughout the year and is used as a summative measurement, making it fall more under the category of assessment of learning.

Example: PE Physical Exam

An exam in PE (not paper and pencil) is a good example of a performance exam. A student may be graded with a rubric based on how well they know rules of a game based on how they're playing it. A performance assessment is based on the student demonstrating their metacognitive awareness. This is individualized per student as each student will perform differently. It uses the student work as the means to assess. The students need to want to do well in order to perform well. A teacher can also help guide a student by giving a rubric so the student knows what to show.

Example: SAT

The SAT exam is a good example of norm-referenced testing. SAT is measured against a percentile rank so you are compared to those that have taken the test. Students typically take the SAT at the same age and at the same time of their lives. It holds students accountable for their knowledge and is standardized. This test is typically given to juniors and seniors in high school with the purpose of helping them get into college. It encourages colleges to look at these tests as a measurement to let students in as well.

Example: National Assessment of Education Progress (NAEP)

The NAEP is an example of assessment of learning as this is a large scale assessment given to students across the country. This measure students across the country and uses data from the test which includes multiple choice questions and short answer questions and uses it to rank states in terms of education. This is standardized and matches curriculum across the country of what students should be learning. This occurs at specific times of year as designated by each state. This holds states accountable.

Example: Chapter Test in ELA Class

A chapter test is an example of an interim test as you are testing throughout a book/novel. It is assessment for learning because you will continually test until the end. This test is important to determine how instruction is going and to gage how students are understanding the material. You can also use student work, as well as worth throughout the lesson to help see what the students know. This is individualized for the classroom and the students all take the same assessment in the room.

Example: Teacher Observations

Teacher observations is an example of assessment for learning as it happens on an ongoing basis. It is individualized in the classroom and encourages teachers to determine the criteria for student success. Teachers can use this data formatively and it can help guide their instruction.

Example: High School State Proficiency Exams

State proficiency exams are a great example of assessment of learning. These tests occur during high school and students must pass to graduate. They are standardized for students and have a certain measurement. The test is the primary data and is associated with the culmination of the knowledge they have learned throughout their educational careers. This holds students accountable for the knowledge they have learned to pass high school.

Example: Doodle Notes

Doodle notes is where students draw a picture on something like a post it note to show what they know instead of writing it. This is assessment as learning because it is based off of student original, individual work. This can occur on an ongoing basis throughout a lesson and is dependent on the student.

Example: ACT

The ACT test is a formal assessments and a great example of assessment of learning. These are used for the sole purpose of getting into a college/program. This test is also standardized and every student takes the same test and is measured in the same way. This is also associated as a culmination of knowledge and what the students have accrued over time, essentially testing if they'll be able to succeed in college before acceptance. This holds students accountable in order for them to get into college.

Example: Dolch Sight Word Assessment

The Dolch Sight Word assessment is an assessment for learning because it generates data for a formative purpose and lets the teacher know where the students are with sight words. This helps the teacher plan their instruction and is geared toward instruction. This can also occur on an ongoing basis, especially as students are learning to read, so teachers and the students can see their progress in real time. Students and teachers will know immediately how they did because the feedback is done immediately.

Example: Woodcock Johnson Test of Individual Achievement

The Woodcock Johnson is assessment of learning because it is standardized. The students are measured against a reference and given a score. This test is the same for any student who takes it. The score is able to be achieved immediately (quick turnaround) and the test is the primary source of data. This is also use for summative purposes to see what the students know.

Example: Quarterly Assessment

Quarterly assessment is an example of assessment of learning because the data is used as a summative purpose. This assessment occurs at the same time and common teachers (grade level) are giving the same assessment as the students' work culminates throughout the year. The test itself is the primary data source as well. This holds student accountable for knowledge they have learned throughout the year.

Example: Minute Paper

Minute paper is an example of assessment as learning because it focuses on the students' metacognition. This happens on an ongoing basis and is individualized for each student because they are writing their thoughts down in a minute's time. The students original thought is used as the data source as well.

Example: Exit Ticket

I chose an exit ticket as an example of a simple assessment because the purpose of an exit ticket is to gather data and analyze it to determine how the lesson is going. It is assessment as learning because it relies on students as the assessors, using data to foster the students' metacognition, and uses original student work for measurement.

Example: Reading Unique Learning Systems (ULS) Benchmark

I chose this as assessment for learning because the reading benchmark in the ULS occurs ongoing throughout the year (but not at designated, specific times) and gives the teacher data they can use for formative purposes. It helps drive instruction of where to go with the student as well.
