My biggest take away is that we need to collect important data on each student to correctly change how we are teaching them. I also think that a big takeaway is that assessments should be given in a wide variety of ways. What may work for one student does not work for another. No matter what type of assessment a teacher uses, it needs to really guide our plan for a students learning!

The biggest takeaway is that are tools that the teacher and students use. There are many parts and purposes to assessment but they need to be meaningful and purposeful to give you information to inform instruction. I feel that I could get better at using and analyzing assessments to give my students exactly what they need.!

My big takeaway from this is that assessments need to be meaningful and need to be used to guide instruction. I like how you described how the teacher needs to collect this information so they can guide their instruction based on the students' needs.

My biggest takeaway is that assessments should meaningful and helpful to the teacher and student. I think I also heard that assessment should be a positive, motivating experience. I love this idea, as students should be excited to show what they know. We should be able to monitor learning effectively and give students tasks to complete that make sense to them and are enjoyable.

My biggest takeaway is ensuring all assessments are meaningful and utilized as a tool to determine what is taught. I struggle with administering district-wide assessments and following district-wide curriculum guides for this reason (however I follow it because I have to).

My biggest takeaway is that we collect this information and use it to drive instruction. Each type of assessment has a different purpose and as teachers we must know when to administer them and how to proceed using that information.

Assessments MUST be meaningful! Assessments must be used to guide instruction and can be used to form new groups based on skills students need to learn. They must be valid and give the teacher some sort of feedback as to how the students are learning the material!

My key takeaway from your presentation was how assessments are always ongoing. They should be used to guide teachers in their instruction, collect data on gaps for students, and set students up for success. We need to remember that assessments are not just a grade or some test to be given - they need to set our kids up for success.

My biggest takeaway is there are many different forms of assessment, especially formative assessments. I personally prefer gathering data from multiple formative assessments rather than summative assessments. This way you can see if they are grasping the concept, if they need more instruction time, how they are progressing, and what the next steps are. Some (probably most) students get anxious with bigger tests, especially state mandated tests like PSSA's. Formative tests are done in many ways, most of which the students don't even know they're being assessed!

My biggest takeaway is that assessment can come in different forms but its main purpose should be to monitor learning. When we assess, it should inform our instruction so that we can better support our students learning.

There should be various ways when it comes to assessing students on topics, and shouldn't and doesn't need to always be paper and pencil. Assessment should have meaning and purpose and the goal of what you want the children to learn and be able to accomplish is crucial to.

It is important for teachers to use effective and purposeful assessments. I personally found the slides on the roles of the teacher in assessments and in evaluations to be very helpful and informative. I also really liked the different assessments that were shared and linked into the presentation.

Assessments should be meaningful to you as the teacher but also to the learner. After the assessment you should provide feedback in a timely manner so students know what to improve upon. I liked the "Act, Plan, Assess, Analyze" for student improvement.
