This article was extremely helpful because it discusses the importance as to why teachers must use CATs. This source also provided examples and methods to create your own CATs to meet the need of your students.

  • Simple, anonymous, non graded, in class activities designed to give you and your students feedback on performance.
  • Examples of Classroom Assessment Techniques include:

-The Background Knowledge Probe- designed to determine student’s preconceptions. This is usually a short and simple questionnaire given at the start of the course. 

-The Minute Paper- designed to measure if students have gained knowledge or not. Students are asked to respond to questions such as the most important thing they’ve learned. 

-The Muddiest Point- one of the simplest assessment techniques to determine students difficulty areas. Students are asked to jot down what was the most difficult or “muddiest” point in the chapter.  
-The What’s the Principle?- used for problem solving. Students identify a problem as well as what can be applied to solving the problem.
-Defining Features Matrix: Compare and contrast technique.

Educational Leadership . https://padlet.com/cyndieconn/yq92bie40z50/wish/200630821  For my second resource I chose Classroom Assessment, Minute by Minute, Day by
Day. This article talks about using assessments for learning rather than assessment of learning.
That really stood out to me, I thought it was an interesting idea or different take on assessments.
The article goes on to say that assessment for learning takes the approach of the adjusting of
teaching as needed while learning in still in the process. They want teacher to emphasize more
on what students are getting rather then what you’re teaching. In a classroom like this every

student will converse in groups, do seatwork, answer and ask questions, do projects, and
homework assignments. Instruction and assessments begin to blend together. Teacher takes this
information and look it at and decide instructional choices that covers what is understood and
what is misunderstood.]]> 2017-10-25 22:00:41 UTC https://padlet.com/cyndieconn/yq92bie40z50/wish/200630821 Classroom Assessment Techniques https://pdfs.semanticscholar.org/9bd6/1cac8defde052a03ee7e55b6300d53f0c5f9.pdf https://padlet.com/cyndieconn/yq92bie40z50/wish/200643204 This article was really helpful to me because it provided a variety of different types and examples of classroom assessments that I had never heard of before.

Assessing students with the intention of finding out where they're at is a useful tool to measure learning in the classroom, and as the article points out, the techniques can be implemented without changing too much of our typical teaching styles. I like the statement that there needs to be a shift away from "quality control" to "quality assurance" in our classrooms.]]> 2017-10-26 05:31:37 UTC https://padlet.com/cyndieconn/yq92bie40z50/wish/200684551 classroom assessment techniques https://padlet.com/cyndieconn/yq92bie40z50/wish/201077324 https://cft.vanderbilt.edu/guides-sub-pages/cats/    

this website gives a concise and simple definition of what classroom assessment techniques are: “CAT’s are simple, non-graded, anonymous, in-class activities designed to give you and your students useful feedback on the teaching-learning process as it is happening.” 
This source also lists a few different styles of CAT's. ]]> 2017-10-27 03:11:10 UTC https://padlet.com/cyndieconn/yq92bie40z50/wish/201077324 Classroom Assessment Techniques https://padlet.com/cyndieconn/yq92bie40z50/wish/201081140 I really enjoyed this article because of the many examples it gave on how to use classroom assessment techniques, they were all easy and not so unrealistic as I have seen on other sites.]]> 2017-10-27 03:49:54 UTC https://padlet.com/cyndieconn/yq92bie40z50/wish/201081140 Classroom Assessment Techniques Charly LaSon https://padlet.com/cyndieconn/yq92bie40z50/wish/201089567 This article was very simple to understand and I was able to see what the point of the article was before choosing it without reading the entire thing.

This article helped me understand CATs and gave me practical examples of how it is implemented. It also discusses how CATs should be used and why they are important.
