This type of assessment involves students demonstrating what they have learned from the lesson. The demonstration can be anything ranging from producing a project, constructing a project, or performing an activity.

So it is useful as a way to increase student responsibility. It also sets up the conditions for differentiated work based on the self-assessment. ]]> 2022-10-15 13:49:47 UTC https://padlet.com/tanapattreyanurak1/e2v2g6b0cjnotuee/wish/2341340957 Examples tanapattreyanurak1 https://padlet.com/tanapattreyanurak1/e2v2g6b0cjnotuee/wish/2341341114 Example 1 - Grade 12 students preparing for their end-of-high school test. 
I teach a 2-year curriculum from grade 11-12. We finish the curriculum by the end of February of grade 12 and spend all of March doing exam-prep. This March prep period is guided by me. Then towards the end of March, students take a series of mock exams before continuing their prep in April to get ready for the exams in May. In the week after the mock exams, I walk my students through assessment as learning and have students analyze every detail of their performance on the mock exams. Their analysis is then used to set a series of learning goals that will guide their prep time throughout all of April. Basically every class in April becomes a Personal Agenda class and I am there as a consultant, resource-provider, motivator, reference. But by and large I take a back seat and students drive their own learning. 

Example 2 - Personal Agenda class
Students start the lesson with a self-assessment of either their completion of past assignments or their comfort level with various learning objectives. Based on their self-assessment, they pick a series of tasks to do. ]]> 2022-10-15 13:49:52 UTC https://padlet.com/tanapattreyanurak1/e2v2g6b0cjnotuee/wish/2341341114 Resources tanapattreyanurak1 https://padlet.com/tanapattreyanurak1/e2v2g6b0cjnotuee/wish/2341341137 2022-10-15 13:49:56 UTC https://padlet.com/tanapattreyanurak1/e2v2g6b0cjnotuee/wish/2341341137 What is it? tanapattreyanurak1 https://padlet.com/tanapattreyanurak1/e2v2g6b0cjnotuee/wish/2341341170 Assessment for learning is a form of formative assessment.

He told me "Ice, I don't teach biology, or science, or anatomy. I teach students." 

Assessment for learning allows you to actually ensure that the content/skills/concepts you are teaching actually get taught. By checking whether or not students understand the concepts/skills/content, you are holding yourself and your students accountable for the teaching and the learning. It is the difference between someone who is teaching and someone who is just pontificating in front of a room. ]]> 2022-10-15 13:50:13 UTC https://padlet.com/tanapattreyanurak1/e2v2g6b0cjnotuee/wish/2341341249 Examples tanapattreyanurak1 https://padlet.com/tanapattreyanurak1/e2v2g6b0cjnotuee/wish/2341341294 Examples here will overlap with examples of "formative assessment".

A diagnostic assessment is a series of questions that helps the teacher assess their students' prior or current knowledge of a topic.

It is given at the beginning of a new concept or topic.

Why is it used?

Diagnostic assessments clarify students' misconceptions and identify areas of strength in their skills/knowledge. Effective teachers use the information they gather from diagnostic assessments to build strong foundations in their students' learning by appropriately addressing areas of weakness and capitalising on areas of strength.

Examples

  • Assign students a short multiple-choice questionnaire before you begin a new chapter. 
  • Have students Think-Pair-Share a topic  or statement relating to the topic
  • Have students independently (or collectively as a class) complete a KWL chart on the topic.

  • The tests, assignments, or projects are used to determine whether students have learned what they were expected to learn. In other words, what makes an assessment “summative” is not the design of the test, assignment, or self-evaluation, per se, but the way it is used—i.e., to determine whether and to what degree students have learned the material they have been taught.
  • Summative assessments are given at the conclusion of a specific instructional period, and therefore they are generally evaluative, rather than diagnostic—i.e., they are more appropriately used to determine learning progress and achievement, evaluate the effectiveness of educational programs, measure progress toward improvement goals, or make course-placement decisions, among other possible applications.
  • Summative-assessment results are often recorded as scores or grades that are then factored into a student’s permanent academic record, whether they end up as letter grades on a report card or test scores used in the college-admissions process. While summative assessments are typically a major component of the grading process in most districts, schools, and courses, not all assessments considered to be summative are graded.

1. Motivates to study
For many students, periodic evaluation is the best motivation to study. Many students can only perform under pressure. So, summative assessment is the perfect motivation for some students to study hard. 

2. Implements learning 
Summative assessments give students a chance to implement their learning in a real problem. For example, memorizing the periodic table is one thing. But using the periodic table data in a chemical equation is different. 

3. Finds learning gaps 
Summative assessment provides an overview of your class’s performance. This will help you evaluate the weaknesses and strengths of your students. 

4. Identifies teaching gaps 
Summative assessment is helpful to evaluate learning gaps and teaching gaps. It works as a wake-up call when you grade your student’s tests, and the test results are not as per your expectations.

5. Provides insight 
Summative assessments provide comprehensive insights to teachers. It shows what worked and what didn’t work in the academic year. Using this information, teachers can tweak their curriculum to raise learning standards for the following year. 

6. Controls learning environment 
Summative assessment scores provide standards to evaluate at local, national, and global levels. Depending upon the standard scores, the government can provide funding to the schools.
