I am a big fan of assessments that involve whole class participation. Q and A sessions are great! I like to have kids make wall art that can be hung in the order of a story we are reading. This shows they understand the characters and can chronologically place events.

Teachers should be able to assess students learning by asking relevant questions over the material being studied. If a student knows the answers to questions being asked over what is being taught, then teachers have an idea if any student has a problem with learning. Teachers can have students apply their knowledge of a certain subject by having students demonstrate hands-on especially in lower grades.

I found the “assessment of assessments” useful in determining how I will plan my teaching. On going assessment and observation is vital to designing lessons that will best teach each student. Using this, it will be necessary to diverge if teaching the same class repeatedly to different groups of student. Good records of even formative assessments are needed to design lessons for each class.
I have mixed emotions on summative tests. They are important and necessary, but the “side effects” can be damaging to the educational process.
