Chapter 2: Using Assessments
"At its core, assessment is a feedback mechanism for students and teachers. Assessments should provide students with information about how to advance their understanding of content and teachers with information about how to help students do so.
Element 4: Using Informal Assessments of the Whole Class
Informal assessments of the whole class provide a barometer of how the whole class is performing regarding the progression of knowledge. Informal whole-class assessments typically don't involve individual students' recorded scores. The specific strategies associated with this element appear in the table below.
When the strategies in this element produce desired effects, teachers will observe the following behaviors in students.
- Students readily engage in whole-class assessment activities.
- Students can describe the status and growth of the class as a whole.
- Students seem interested in the entire class's progress.
- Students appear pleased as the whole class's performance improves."
