WHAT IS ASSESSMNENT? WELL ASSESSMENT IS A TEST TO HELP US DETERMINE WHERE WE FIT IN; AND WHAT KIND OF BACKGROUND KNOWLEDGE WE HAVE... NOT NECESSARILY WRITTEN ALL THE TIME SOME CAN BE ORAL AS WELL.. THIS IS WHERE INFORMAL AND FORMAL ASSESSMENTS COME INTO PLAY. NFORMAL ASSESSMENTS ARE PERHAPS READING OUT LOUD IN CLASS, OR FEEDBACK FROM STUDENTS AFTER A READING ASSIGNMENT, OR ANY ASSIGNMENT FOR THAT MATTER. WITH FORMAL ASSESSMENTS, LIKE THE 'TAKS', SAT'S, ETC., WE CAN DETERMINE WHERE THE STUDENTS OR ALL OF US IN GENERAL, NEED HELP IN AND PLACEMENT....
IN A MATH CLASS WE COULD HAVE A QUICK MENTAL MATH PROBLEM FIRST THING IN THE MORNING TO SEE IF THE STUDENTS RETAINED THE PREVIOUS DAY'S LESSON... IN READING A JOURNAL COULD ALSO SERVE AS AN ASSESSMENT TO READING ASSIGNMENTS...
IT IS ENTIRELY IN OUR HANDS TO DETERMINE WHAT, WHEN, AND HOW WE WANT TO ASSESS OUR STUDENTS...
