Classroom Assessment


The goal of assessment is to guide instruction.  

Assessment plays an important role in our reading, writing and language instruction.  We use formative and summative assessments as inquiry to help us discover what the student knows.  We must also create assessments that are developmental.  It must be geared toward the student you are assessing, even if this is on a variety of developmental levels.  Finally, assessments should be used for progress monitoring. We must use the data from the assessment to determine student growth and learning.   

Assessments data can be collected from:
  • Standardized tests
  • Classroom portfolios
  • Informal observations
  • Student conversations  
  • Discussing and questioning 
  • Interviewing 
  • Student work samples
