3 Types of Assessment
1. Pre-Assessment (Finding out)Pre-test, Inventory, KWL, Checklist, Observation, Self-evaluation
2. Formative Assessment (Keeping track and checking up)Small group check-ins, Exit cards, Quiz, Journal Entry, Self-evaluation
3. Summative Assessment (Making sure)Assessment at the conclusion of a unit: Unit test, Product/Exhibit, Demonstration, Report, etc...

What comes to mind when you see this picture?
If we teach it, will they learn it?
" Teaching isn't just telling or presenting. Accomplished teachers present in such a manner that students find the information and
skills meaningful and reach understanding.”
-Mark Twain
"I Taught It. It's Up to Students to Learn It."
Just because we taught it, doesn’t mean they caught it!!!
COLLEGE EXAM ANSWERS
Magnet: “Something you find crawling all over a dead cat.
To prevent contraception: wear a condominium.
For fainting: Rub the person’s chest or, if a lady, rub her arm above the hand instead. Or put the head between the knees of the nearest medical doctor.
Genetics explain why you look like your father and if you don’t why you should.
Think about different ways to assess your students...
“No Two the Same”

To ensure a fair selection you all get the same test. You must all climb that tree.
When you ask questions, who typically responds? Why?
What happens over time to the non-responders? What might you see by the
time these students are in middle school?
How do we create an environment in which all students respond?
