The document discusses different types of student assessments: - Pre-assessment identifies prior knowledge before instruction begins. Formative assessment checks learning throughout instruction using activities. Summative assessment evaluates learning, typically through tests, at the end. - Norm-referenced tests compare students to peers. Criterion-referenced assessments evaluate against set criteria, not other students. - Performance-based assessment demonstrates skills in real-world simulations. Product assessment evaluates student work against guidelines to guide future work.
