STANDARD 7: ASSESSMENT

Using online tools to gather information is a quick way to gain an understanding of students knowledge of the day. By using google forms we can assess quickly who is struggling and who is ready to move forward or be challenged. Teachers can use their assessments to gather information on students to guide learning instructions in whole group as well as small group.

Standard-based Exit tickets can also be used to conclude that students are meeting all state standards. Expressing their knowledge and seeing what needs will need to be met in order to continue. Using standard-based exit tickets that correlate with a standard based report cards helps guide the completion and understanding of work throughout the year.

Checklists also help students to see where they need to improve or change/add to their work. Having students use a checklist or rubric allows students to know the information that is being assessed. It helps the students to prevent mistakes and gives them a sense of control. By using a rubric or checklist the students receive a stress-free no surprise assignment where the outcome is based on the students ability to evaluate and check their work upon completion.
