1F: Designing Student Assessments
This component focuses on designing assessments for students. There is summative and formative assessments which help the students' learning. Formative assessment is when the teacher quizzes and asks questions throughout the class, while summative is a cumulative quiz, normally at the end of a unit, to test the students on what they learn.These assessments must meet all the needs of each student.
It is important because teachers must keep track of their students' learning. Are they understanding the material? It is also important for teachers to use both assessments in the correct way, balancing the use of each technique. Integrating quizzes, discussions, and questions is important as well; these assessments must reach all students, adapting to their needs.
