Assessment

I use the two types of assessments formative, and summative. Formative assessment is sequential practice work students do after every lesson. It helps me determine student’s comprehension of the new subject, if they are learning and following the sequence. Students’ capabilities are also reflected here, it has taught me to understand how my students learn. Also it has helped me differentiate the different types of learners in my classroom. This kind of assessment includes homework, fluency work, exit tickets, class participation, cooperative learning, etc. It is by using this tool that start noticing if I need to reteach, if I need to cover vocabulary again, or if I have to teach it again in a different way.

Summative assessment is my evaluation tool to decide if there needs to be intervention for some students after the end of a big unit. It is the accumulative work of several lessons with a common topic. It also helps me identify if a student needs to be tested.

After a test, I review all the problems with the students again and we conclude what was the mistake. That helps them recognize what details they need to be paying more attention to. 

All the data gathered in tests and formative work, are good indicators of a student's learning type, reading level, development, growth, improvement, and ultimately deep learning.
