Example: Frequent writing samples with rubric for conference with teacher

This assessment occurs frequently throughout the year and guides student to self regulate their learning through a jointly constructed criteria for success. Small attainable goals are set to support student metacognitive process.

Example exit tickets:
Quick checks and exit tickets are used to gauge progress made toward mastery of the content.  The assessments are used to improve rather than measure learning.  The data gained is used formatively to guide instruction.

MAP assessments occur throughout the year and are intended as an accountability source to show progress of the collective group and individuals as well as to predict performance on end of year state summative assessments. The assessment is standardized within the state or county and occurs at designated time intervals (test windows).

A measure whose results are reported in reference to established criteria, such as standards, rather than ranking student performance

Example: Small group - tier 2 reading assessments.
Students are co-creators of success criteria and are assessed both formally and informally until the criteria is met.

Example:  Anecdotal records
Informal assessment is individualized for students and internal to specific learning behaviors or goals. It occurs on an ongoing basis, facilitated by teachers and generates data to foster students metacognitive and metalinguistic awareness.

Example:  Unit pretest
Pre-assessment of knowledge prior to learning in order to determine the level of prior knowledge and what scaffolding of information might be needed over the course of the unit of study.

Example:  Teacher/grade level created common assessments

This type of assessment occurs on an ongoing, continuous basis and the data is used for formative purposes.  The group works collaboratively to determine a success criteria and next steps for instruction.

Example:  Quick checks
This type of assessment is internal to instruction and teacher learning and is used for formative purposes. It occurs on an ongoing basis and individualized for classroom or across classrooms/grade levels.

Example: Project based learning projects
This type of assessment is individualized for classrooms and, at times, across classrooms - is ongoing and encourages teachers to create tasks and success criteria along with their students.

Example: chapter test

This type of assessment uses student work coupled with a variety of instructional methods to gather formative data. It is instructionally bound and encourages teachers to create tasks and determine shared success criteria.

A test with results that have consequences for students, teachers, schools and districts

# data[].attributes.body
Example:  SBAC
This assessment is associated with the culmination of an instructional cycle or year and accrued learning and uses testing as the primary data source. SBAC is a standardized assessment that generates data used for summative purposes.

# data[].attributes.attachment_caption
A test that compares scores of a selected group of students who have take the test and are typically of the same age or grade with those of the test taker

Example:  AimsWeb/Dibels/fluency measures
These measures are standardized or standard in administration (for example, teachers follow the same set of directions and procedures) for schools, districts or states and occur at common intervals each year.
