These are the three types of assessments we study during this semester.
Diagnostic is the pre-assessment to see what our students know, such as a KWL chart or a concept map. Formative is to assess what our students are learning such as a journal or a quiz. This could just be merely us observing. Summative is to show what our students have learned, the end product such as a project, a final exam, or a portfolio.
Assessment and its different stages is so important because it is a way to track our students progress throughout our lesson or unit. Assessments will let us as educators know whether we are ok to move on and teach our students the next lesson, or if there are certain aspects we need to revisit. Assessments are a great way for students to track their own personal growth. Students are like sponges.....using assessments shows how much they really do absorb.
