This type of assessment is OF learning because it happens at designated times each year, it is standardized in administration, and relies on multiple choice testing as its primary source of data to deliver norm-referenced results.]]> 2020-11-08 20:04:26 UTC https://padlet.com/strinwe/6uvw9v3hjbaa3xf1/wish/902098332 strinwe https://padlet.com/strinwe/6uvw9v3hjbaa3xf1/wish/902103887 Example: A series of quizzes/checks for understanding
These types of assessments are ongoing and individualized for the classroom. The teacher creates the task based on the instruction he/she is giving and modifies ongoing and future instruction based on student results.]]> 2020-11-08 20:08:50 UTC https://padlet.com/strinwe/6uvw9v3hjbaa3xf1/wish/902103887 strinwe https://padlet.com/strinwe/6uvw9v3hjbaa3xf1/wish/902108873 Example: Semester Exam

These high stakes tests that occur at the end of the school year measure the learning the student has accrued each year based on instructional standards. It is used for schools, districts, and even states to make decisions about educational policy.]]> 2020-11-08 20:13:48 UTC https://padlet.com/strinwe/6uvw9v3hjbaa3xf1/wish/902110261 strinwe https://padlet.com/strinwe/6uvw9v3hjbaa3xf1/wish/902115708 Example: WIDA Screener
This type of assessment is somewhat borderline between the FOR and AS learning because the test itself is standardized in its nature. However, the test's main purpose is to generate data that will determine the student's instructional needs going forward. In essence, it is given before learning occurs in the school the child is entering, not after. ]]> 2020-11-08 20:18:23 UTC https://padlet.com/strinwe/6uvw9v3hjbaa3xf1/wish/902115708 strinwe https://padlet.com/strinwe/6uvw9v3hjbaa3xf1/wish/902118611 Example: WIDA Access
This test that is given formally to ELL students collects data on how much students have mastered in the language domains of reading, writing, speaking, and listening, which is used to carry out the plan for improving the ELL student's language use and to one day transition the student from the program. ]]> 2020-11-08 20:20:46 UTC https://padlet.com/strinwe/6uvw9v3hjbaa3xf1/wish/902118611 strinwe https://padlet.com/strinwe/6uvw9v3hjbaa3xf1/wish/902118706 Example: Homework Assignment
An example might be a math homework assignment in which the students practiced solving problems that were modeled in class. It is ongoing and continuous, and the teacher makes instructional decisions based on students' success or lack thereof with the task. ]]> 2020-11-08 20:20:50 UTC https://padlet.com/strinwe/6uvw9v3hjbaa3xf1/wish/902118706 strinwe https://padlet.com/strinwe/6uvw9v3hjbaa3xf1/wish/902119451 Examples: SAT
A high stakes exam is generally a standardized test that determines a school's ratings and helps drive educational policy or in the case of the SAT is a measure used to determine a student's college readiness. ]]> 2020-11-08 20:21:27 UTC https://padlet.com/strinwe/6uvw9v3hjbaa3xf1/wish/902119451 strinwe https://padlet.com/strinwe/6uvw9v3hjbaa3xf1/wish/902119633 Example: Peer Response Group
In this informal assessment, students share their work with each other and then give feedback to each other. It is intrinsically motivating for students to interact with peers, relies on the students as the assessors, and also gives the student a chance to reflect on their own learning.  ]]> 2020-11-08 20:21:37 UTC https://padlet.com/strinwe/6uvw9v3hjbaa3xf1/wish/902119633 strinwe https://padlet.com/strinwe/6uvw9v3hjbaa3xf1/wish/902119758 Example: Kahoot
A kahoot can "quiz" students on a topic they are learning in order to check their current understanding of the content. The students think they are playing a fun game, but the teacher is collecting data to guide instruction. It also gives immediate feedback to students about their level of mastery. ]]> 2020-11-08 20:21:45 UTC https://padlet.com/strinwe/6uvw9v3hjbaa3xf1/wish/902119758 strinwe https://padlet.com/strinwe/6uvw9v3hjbaa3xf1/wish/902119914 Example: MAP Growth
Like a benchmark assessment, an interim is given at specific times during the year to measure performance on specific standards. This type can also be in the assessment FOR learning category because teachers take the benchmark assessment and alter instruction as needed ahead of the final assessment. ]]> 2020-11-08 20:21:52 UTC https://padlet.com/strinwe/6uvw9v3hjbaa3xf1/wish/902119914 strinwe https://padlet.com/strinwe/6uvw9v3hjbaa3xf1/wish/902119989 Example: PISA

PBL is assessment AS learning because it is facilitated by the teacher as the students are eased into more self-regulation, there is a lot of agency and choice for students, and relies on original student work for data sources. It is also highly intrinsically motivating and relies on students self-assessing their work as they move through the project. ]]> 2020-11-08 20:22:26 UTC https://padlet.com/strinwe/6uvw9v3hjbaa3xf1/wish/902120558 strinwe https://padlet.com/strinwe/6uvw9v3hjbaa3xf1/wish/902120559 Example: Unit or Semester Exam
These are assessment OF learning because they occur at the end of an instructional cycle, such as a unit or a semester. As it takes place at the end of the unit, it is more used to sum up what the students have learned than to plan for further instruction.]]> 2020-11-08 20:22:26 UTC https://padlet.com/strinwe/6uvw9v3hjbaa3xf1/wish/902120559 strinwe https://padlet.com/strinwe/6uvw9v3hjbaa3xf1/wish/902120560 Example: AP Exam
Students take the standardized test for AP courses at the end of the course. All students in the country take the same exam in order to measure what they have learned at the end of the course in order to determine if their knowledge of the content is equal to a college level course in the same subject. ]]> 2020-11-08 20:22:26 UTC https://padlet.com/strinwe/6uvw9v3hjbaa3xf1/wish/902120560
