Assessment is a way for teachers to understand students' progress with the support of bloom's taxonomy and learning targets.

Giving feedback on behavior is not the way to assess learning. Although behavior is valuable to a teacher it holds no weight with academic assessment, meaning it does not correlate with curriculum or measure a students knowledge.

# data[].attributes.body
To help students learn in real time I think formative assessment are the best. Using concept checks and/or short quizzes help teachers to meet student needs.

A non example is a an assignment that does not relate to the learning target and an assessment that has nothing to do with the standard.

# data[].attributes.body
An example is to ask the students to use what they learned and apply it in a different way or even create something that shows they can apply what they learned. The most effective thing they can do is to teach what they learned correctly to someone else.

Some of the essential characteristics of an assessment is that it can directly measure the amount of learning that occurred by following the verbs used in the learning targets.

Topic: Solving Quadratic Equations

In an algebra class, the instructor initiates a discussion thread about solving quadratic equations. However, there are no specific guidelines or objectives provided. Students start posting various approaches, questions, and insights related to quadratic equations. Here’s how the discussion unfolds:

1. Student A: “Hey everyone! I’m stuck on this quadratic equation:

2x^2−5x+3=0

. Any ideas?”

2. Student B: “I’d use the quadratic formula. Let’s plug in the coefficients!”

3. Student C: “Wait, can we use cross method instead of the quadratic formula?”

4. Student D: “Sure! Factoring is another valid method. Let’s try it.”

As you can see, this discussion lacks a clear target or grading criteria. Students freely share ideas, and explore different solution methods. While it promotes interaction, it is not an assessment.

3-minute pause (formative)

It provides a chance for students to stop, reflect on the concept and ideas that have just been introduced, make connections to prior knowledge or experience, and seek clarification.

·       I became more aware of …

·       I was surprised about …

One characteristic of good assessment is clarity. A good assessment clearly defines the standard, learning target, and assessment type. This ensures that students understand what the target is and can focus on demonstrating their knowledge and skills effectively.

# data[].attributes.body
Assessment is gathering information of understanding a student's knowledge, skills, and abilities through various methods such as tests, assignments, observations, and feedback. It aims to inform instruction, support learning, and assign grades.

# data[].attributes.body
When learning something in particular about math, you can't end class with a "fun game math" to end the class. If it doesn't tie to the lesson that was taught that day, it won't help or assess anything.

# data[].attributes.body
One of my favorite ways is to do exit tickets at the end of class. This will give the teacher immediate feedback on what the student knows or doesn't know from that same class.

# data[].attributes.body
a test should accurately assess a certain skill/learning.

An assessment is a way to test students’ level of learning and/or understanding of a given topic. It can also help measure, and determine, how much knowledge a person has retained after a given amount of studying. There are various kinds of assessments. An assessment type I am use to seeing, and have experience in doing the most of are in the multiple choice format.

# data[].attributes.body
An assessment with vague instructions might confuse students and can be considered as a bad one. Students will struggle to understand the factors that lead to a successful submission and this will lead to frustration and anxiety.

# data[].attributes.body
Exit ticket is a formative assessment that helps teachers to identify the knowledge gained by a student pertaining to a topic and the areas that need more attention. It helps in understanding how far students have comprehended the lesson and also in identifying the knowledge gaps.

# data[].attributes.body
Good assessments help teachers identify students' strengths and knowledge gaps that require more attention.

# data[].attributes.body
It is a strategy to gauge student understanding regarding a topic and it equips teachers to identify the knowledge gaps

Curating - collecting data to reinforce or redirect instruction

Interdependent - teaching and learning must be evaluated together.

A lecture without any interactive elements or feedback opportunities is another non-example of assessment. It doesn’t actively check or gauge students' understanding or provide opportunities for students to demonstrate what they’ve learned.

# data[].attributes.body
Character masks are another fun assessment idea. Have students create masks of characters from a story and then “become” those characters to answer questions or explain key events. This activity lets students show their understanding creatively and interactively.

# data[].attributes.body
A good assessment is clear, meaning it’s easy for students to understand and for teachers to check.

# data[].attributes.body
Assessment is checking how well students are learning and understanding what they’re taught. It helps teachers see what students know and where they might need more help.

A non-example of an assessment is relying on attendance. Just because someone is present does not mean they are gleaning the information appropriately.

# data[].attributes.body
A good example of an assessment is playing a game like Kahoot where it’s fun and engaging for the students and can give the teacher information about individual students and group status for how effective the lesson(s) or unit is going.

# data[].attributes.body
Some characteristics of a good assessment is equity, valid, and clear. Providing equal and unbiased opportunities for all students to show the skills they have attained. Validity allows accuracy in measurement. Assessments should be clear and concise so that measurement is targeting the actual goal.

# data[].attributes.body
Assessments are evaluations to gauge where students are at in their learning and to measure if they are meeting their learning targets. Assessments guide teachers in delivery methods and adjustment of learning targets.

It is an evaluation process to acquire evidence of the student’s level of learning in a lesson.

# data[].attributes.body
Pop quizzes which are unreliable and potentially not fair for students would be a bad example.

# data[].attributes.body
An exit ticket would be a good example using an opened end question to guage students thoughts would be a good assessment.

Fairness is an essnential characteristic that assesment needs to consider while being created.
