2. Pre Assessment
Pre-assessment provides a way for teachers to gather key information about
what students know and are able to do prior to instruction, as well as what
student interests and learning styles are. Pre-assessments can be paper and
pencil tasks or performance-based. They provide evidence to help teachers
effectively match instruction with the needs of students
3. Formative Assessment
Formative assessment refers to a wide variety of methods that teachers use to
conduct in-process evaluations of student comprehension, learning needs, and
academic progress during a lesson, unit, or course
4. Summative Assessment
Summative assessments are used to evaluate student learning, skill
acquisition, and academic achievement at the conclusion of a defined
instructional period—typically at the end of a project, unit, course, semester,
program, or school year
5. Norm-referenced Assessment
Norm-referenced assessment refers to an assessment that ranks students on a
“bell curve” to determine the highest and lowest performing students. This
method is used to understand how students' scores compare to a predefined
population with similar experience
6. Criterion-referenced Assessment
Criterion referenced assessment (CRA) is the process of evaluating (and
grading) the learning of students against a set of pre-specified qualities or
criteria, without reference to the achievement of others
7. Performance based Assessment
In general, a performance-based assessment measures students' ability to
apply the skills and knowledge learned from a unit or units of study. Typically,
the task challenges students to use their higher-order thinking skills to create a
product or complete a process
8. Product Assessment
A product assessment will review your existing operations as well as your
needs and goals in order to streamline your product mix. Product assessments
find the right balance between cost savings, storage and brand identity
