  2. What is Assessment? • Involves collecting information about or evidence of your students’ learning • continually summarize and reflect • Is continual • Inform teaching • Integral to the curriculum • Is developmentally and culturally appropriate • Recognizes self-evaluation • Invites active collaboration

  3. Purposes:

  6. Informal Reading Inventories • Running Records • Helps measure accuracy rate, reading rate, and fluency. • While the students read, record their errors • This helps teachers identify areas of improvement and teaching areas

  7. Miscue Analysis • Measures reading behavior and text processing • Interview, orally read, retell the story, and listen to the recording- record mistakes.

  8. Evidence of Learning • Fluent processing- students read with accuracy, ease and fluency. • Comprehension- Response Journals, Retellings • Amount of reading that students do- Reading list • Reading level- Record of book reading process • Attitudes and interests- observation • Response to literature- conferences, writing responses.

  13. Writing Assessments Cont. • Writing Checklist: create and use writing checklists to guide your assessment of student’s writing • Amount and Type of Writing: analyze the projects on this form to determine the amount and kind of writing each student has undertaken • Student Reflection and Attitudes Toward Writing: note what they have learned from each piece they’ve written
