AoL measures student knowledge and ensures they're making academic gains and meeting grade-level standards. However, it can be biased and not meaningful or authentic. 

AfL gauges student knowledge and allows teachers to differentiate and modify future instruction. 

Using assessment for growth and to differentiate materials (using standardized tests or informal assessments) to guide instruction and small-group settings.]]> 2019-03-11 21:42:29 UTC https://padlet.com/mulieri_loyola/tke1giwdwewn/wish/340179586 https://padlet.com/mulieri_loyola/tke1giwdwewn/wish/340179658 1. Advantages
-Assessments are how you track student progress and guide instruction. 
2. Disadvantages
-Students may not be able to express what they have learned through the type of assessment you are giving. 
3. Best Practices
-Always talking to students about how assessments are used to help them grow. Being open with students to ask for alternative assessment types in order to best show what they know.

2. AfL helps guide instruction in target areas but is time consuming and requires flexibility. 

3. AaL helps increase motivation in students due to student choice and helps students learn from their mistakes, but may not be suitable for diverse learners who need extra guidance.]]> 2019-03-11 21:43:06 UTC https://padlet.com/mulieri_loyola/tke1giwdwewn/wish/340179694 alysonforgione https://padlet.com/mulieri_loyola/tke1giwdwewn/wish/340179792 1. Assessments serve different purposes. All provide opportunities to assess and review important skills, as well as determine the strengths and weaknesses of the students. Best used in various settings. 
2. Assessments in general can place pressure on students and are not always an accurate representation of student knowledge. 
3. All assessment types work to improve instruction to better suit the needs of the learner. ]]> 2019-03-11 21:43:35 UTC https://padlet.com/mulieri_loyola/tke1giwdwewn/wish/340179792 https://padlet.com/mulieri_loyola/tke1giwdwewn/wish/340179876 + All 3 paradigms support student progress and track student growth...data for everyone (parents, teachers, students)
- TIME sensitive: AoL = very time consuming bc its longer; AfL = dependent on students being present in class; AaL = dependent on both
Best Use: AoL = end of unit; AfL = throughout the unit; AaL = beginning, during, and at end of unit]]> 2019-03-11 21:44:01 UTC https://padlet.com/mulieri_loyola/tke1giwdwewn/wish/340179876
