Assessment of Learning: Formative Assessments
Measuring how afterschool time helps students improve their in-school performance is crucial. Assessment of student learning should include both ongoing, formative assessment and summative assessment at the conclusion of a unit of study. In each of these self-paced lessons, teachers have a range of formative assessment options: short-answer text boxes, multiple-choice questions, a vocabulary matching interactive activity, a content-based interactive activity, and group discussions.
These assessments will help you determine when students are ready to begin working on the final assignment and whether any students need additional support. Go to the “Lesson Assessments” page in your Teacher’s Guide and review the types of assessments that students will be completing. Be sure that you have tried each of the interactive activities so that you are prepared to answer any questions that students may have.
