Assessing is NOT EvALuAtiNg!!
Assessing your students is a great way to understand where they are before during and after an activity. It allows the teacher to also assess their teaching..
Do my students understand what I am teaching??
Is this a good lesson?
Am I teaching the information properly?
It is truly a process of collecting data of the student progress. The teacher collects the data using tools to measure it, Interprets that data, and then makes judgements on it. The process helps the teacher meet the needs of their students and allows them to give feedback.
There are types of assessments..
Diagnostic- this allows you to ask questions an assess whether the student has prior knowledge of t he concepts. The students can brain storn, create graphic organizers and so much more. It really gives the teacher concrete evidence of this diagnostic information.
Formative- this is the assessment you get throughout the lesson. whether it be a worksheet, discussions, a game.
Summative assessment which is where you get to assess what the students learned it also provides feedback of how you did with teaching. You can do this by having your student create something... construct something.. its your choice! have fun!
