What is assessment and why do we do it? by Karin Hatton https://padlet.com/karin_hatton/r3mg706kmlbt en-us 2017-09-27 23:01:42 UTC 2017-10-19 01:12:51 UTC hello@padlet.com There are two types of assessments, formative and summative. Formative assessments are used to see how the class is learning on the fly, so to speak and should be used to change pacing of the class. Summative assessments are the "test" at the end that is used to grade the students. https://padlet.com/karin_hatton/r3mg706kmlbt/wish/191904106 I used to think that math was really assessment based, now i think that I should have more formative assessments.]]> 2017-09-28 00:39:49 UTC https://padlet.com/karin_hatton/r3mg706kmlbt/wish/191904106 Assessment is a way of measuring or analyzing whether or not people understand and have knowledge of information presented to them. Assessment is important to do so that the presenter or instructor can check if their methods of presenting or teaching are working or if they should be modified. It also lets the instructor when it's okay to move on to the next topic. https://padlet.com/karin_hatton/r3mg706kmlbt/wish/191904174 I used to think assessments needed to be a grand and complicated thing, now I know that it can be simple.

 Formative assessments are not typically graded, and give immediate feedback to the teacher. Summative assessments are for the grade, and they are final!

I used to think (Everything stated above), and now I think...

That assessment does not only have to be done by the teacher... ***Mic Drop***]]> 2017-09-28 00:40:40 UTC https://padlet.com/karin_hatton/r3mg706kmlbt/wish/191904185 Assessment = Constant https://padlet.com/karin_hatton/r3mg706kmlbt/wish/191904189 We assess our students throughout each lesson each day, informally, formatively, and summatively.  We find the progress of our students, how far along they are with the topics that we are covering. When we assess we can see where we need to focus and if we can move onto deeper learning. 

I still think that assessment is constant throughout every lesson, but I think now that personal assessment must be a part of the learning to create buy-in and deeper understanding with our students.]]> 2017-09-28 00:40:42 UTC https://padlet.com/karin_hatton/r3mg706kmlbt/wish/191904189 Assesment https://padlet.com/karin_hatton/r3mg706kmlbt/wish/191904212 2017-09-28 00:40:59 UTC https://padlet.com/karin_hatton/r3mg706kmlbt/wish/191904212 Assessment https://padlet.com/karin_hatton/r3mg706kmlbt/wish/191904214 Formative assessment is done throughout the lesson.  It is important  for the teachers to track student understanding during a lesson.  It allows teachers to re-plan and re-teach a concept that students are not grasping.  These lessons should not be graded and should provide valuable feedback to the students for improvement.  It sets them up for success in the summative assessment.

Summative assessment is done at the end of the lesson and is graded.

I used to think, and now I think...

Students can be apart of their assessment through self and peer assessment.]]> 2017-09-28 00:40:59 UTC https://padlet.com/karin_hatton/r3mg706kmlbt/wish/191904214 Assessment https://padlet.com/karin_hatton/r3mg706kmlbt/wish/191904240 An assessment is a method for evaluating a student's ability and capability. A formative assessment is used to measure the effectiveness of the instruction and the scores are used to influence changes in the classroom. A summative assessment is used to determine how well a student has retained information from the unit, and is used to determine his or her grade for that section.

I used to think that the teacher is the sole source of assessment materials, and now I know that students can actively contribute to the creation of the assessment methodology.]]> 2017-09-28 00:41:14 UTC https://padlet.com/karin_hatton/r3mg706kmlbt/wish/191904240 Assessment is a way to gauge student learning and understanding whether in progress or at the finish line. https://padlet.com/karin_hatton/r3mg706kmlbt/wish/191904242 We do this to guide our instruction and to see how students do at reaching or approaching goals.

Assessment is for learning.


After this class, I understand that Assessment is used to improve student learning. From assessment, we see where students are. From that information, we can reteach or move forward]]> 2017-09-28 00:41:16 UTC https://padlet.com/karin_hatton/r3mg706kmlbt/wish/191904242 Assessment is the means to discovering our students' baselines and also to determining whether they are meeting the goals. We assess to monitor progress regularly to determine if our teaching strategies and lessons are working and whether we need to regroup or move on. https://padlet.com/karin_hatton/r3mg706kmlbt/wish/191904247 I used to think that assessment was done a few times a week and at the end of a lesson or unit and that was that.  Now I realize that effective teachers use all kinds of assessments - peer feedback, student self-assessment, teacher feedback and questioning, etc. throughout the lesson and the day.

It is a tool for teachers to track students' mastery of the standards.  Formative assessments are not graded but a way to see if teachers need to reteach the standards and for students to relearn. Summative assessments are graded and affect student grade. It is the last input for student mastery.

I used to think what was written above, but now I think that assessments can also be done by the students instead of the teacher. ]]> 2017-09-28 00:42:04 UTC https://padlet.com/karin_hatton/r3mg706kmlbt/wish/191904311 Assessment https://padlet.com/karin_hatton/r3mg706kmlbt/wish/191904318 Used to check learning

I used to think assessments were just for giving grades.

The use of variant assessments can show how the overall class is doing at specific milestones throughout the unit or over a certain period or can just be used informally week to week.

I now know that this is not the case and that the time put into incorporating an assessment weekly is very important for the students and gauge ones performance as a teacher  and the importance of success feedback  and repeat lessons.

Assessment is a tool that allows me to track progress on my students learning and also to measure their progress on their IEP goals. If the assessment shows no progress, it can be an indication that I need to reevaluate my teaching strategies and approaches. ]]> 2017-10-01 21:48:01 UTC https://padlet.com/karin_hatton/r3mg706kmlbt/wish/192814494 Response to "Grading for Growth" Article. jacob_alarconyoung https://padlet.com/karin_hatton/r3mg706kmlbt/wish/198500950 My actionable item is: I am definitely going to allow some grace period for the beginning of each learning block.
