Example:
Think-pair-share is a technique that encourages and allows for individual thinking, collaboration, and presentation in the same activity. Students must first answer a prompt on their own, then come together in pairs or small groups, then share their discussion and decision with the class. Discussing an answer first with a partner before sharing maximizes participation, and helps to focus attention on the prompt given.

It is a form of Assessment AS learning because it foster's students metacognitive awareness and metalinguistic awareness. It is facilitates by teacher's until self regulated by students.

Example: 3-2-1 exit ticket
It encourages students to reflect on a course experience and organize their thoughts and identify areas of confusion or concern.

It is an assessment FOR Learning because it provides information for the teacher for areas that needs to be address specifically areas of confusion from the students.

Example: TSG (Teaching Strategies Gold)

All Pre K students are assessed using the TSG objectives to ensure that all Pre K students are provided with research based instruction by following the early childhood curriculum.

It is an assessment FOR Learning because it is reported every end of quarter. Parents are provided a copy of the the report card every quarter to see how the student progresses based on the standards.

Example: SBAC ELA and Math 3rd to 5th

The assessment is given at the end of each year in CCSD to  see how all the students are performing based on the common core standards prescribed by the Nevada Department of Education.

Example: CORE Phonics Surveys

They indicate whether or not a student needs instruction in selected phonics concepts, or if further assessment is needed. This is given at the beginning of the year to see if the child needs intervention in the area of reading.

Example: Kaufman Test of Educational Achievement (KTEA)

This diagnostic test is given to assess students of what the child can and cannot do based on common core academic skills and is used to see how the child compares with his/her peers using Percentile, Standard Scores and Age/Grade Equivalent comparisons.

Example: Group projects

Group projects enabling a number of students to work together on a complex problem that requires planning, research, internal discussion, and group presentation.

It uses original student work as data sources. Students choose their own topic so it makes them intrinsically motivated.

Example: SBAC ELA, Math 3rd to 5th

This assessment is given at the end of the year for 3rd, 4th and 5th graders in CCSD for Elementary schools. It provides educators, students and parents meaningful results with actionable data to help students succeed. The assessment system is aligned to Nevada Academic Content Standards. It is a summative assessment to determine how students progress in grades 3-5 towards success in college and career.

Example: Student-Teacher Conferences

Student-Teacher Conferences are a one-on-one forum that allows both the student and teacher to mutually discuss their concerns, feedback and goals. The duration can vary from a short meeting (3-5 minutes) to a longer meeting (5-15 minutes), depending on the points that need to be addressed. The many benefits of Student-Teacher Conferences makes it a very important and an essential strategy to be incorporated within the classroom.

Example: Teacher observations

When observing students, teachers can look for evidence of students’ performance and progress. For example, they can look at how well students can complete tasks, how engaged they are in the material, and whether they can apply what they have learned.

By observing their students, teachers can better understand how well they are performing and identify areas where additional support may be needed.

Example: Quizzes

It is a quick-fire method of evaluating what students learned after a lesson or a unit. It can happen at any point in the lesson, including before including before kick-off and after the instructor covers substantial knowledge grounds.

It provides data to improve teacher instruction or information about students prior knowledge about a subject matter.

Example: Map Growth

The Map Growth assessment is given on various times of the year.

MAP Growth is a K-12 interim assessment that measures growth – and the data it provides can help educators project proficiency on state accountability tests, support differentiated instruction, and serve as an input for program evaluation.

Example: SBAC

The Smarter Balanced assessments (SBAC) are a key part of measuring student progress in grades 3-8 towards success in college and career. The computer-adaptive format and online administration of the assessments provide meaningful feedback that teachers and parents can use to help students succeed. The assessments are aligned with the Nevada Academic Content Standards in ELA and mathematics. Results from SBAC are included on the Nevada Report Card.

It is a form of summative assessment to measure student performance against Nevada Academic Content Standards.

Example:
The KTEA is a norm references assessment because it compares the individual student score against a group average in order to rank student performance.

A test that’s norm-referenced compares your child’s scores to the scores of a large, random group of kids who’ve taken the same test. This “norm group” may be kids of the same age or in the same grade, and their scores are used to determine what’s typical.

It is a standardized assessment.

Example: SBAC, KTEA, Brigance

A standardized test is a test that is administered and scored in a consistent, or "standard", manner. Standardized tests are designed in such a way that the questions and interpretations are consistent and are administered and scored in a predetermined, standard manner.

Example: Hands on Performance Tasks

One of the more straightforward forms of summative assessments for children is a performance task. If a teacher observes a child with a box of manipulatives, such as blocks or cotton balls, they can assess counting skills, number knowledge, fine motor skills, and pattern skills.

Example: Map Growth

The Map Growth Assessment is administered at various times of the year and serves as a predictor of how students will perform on end of year summative assessments.
