1. Anything the student does can be used as an assessment tool. Again, there is no best practice; it’s whatever works for the teacher and this particular set of students.

2. Teacher should determine the purpose. In order to administer any good assessment, be it formative or summative, there must be a clearly defined purpose. Ask these questions:What concept, skill or knowledge am I trying to assess?What should the students know?At what level are my students performing?At what level would I like them to be performing?
Formative
Assessment 3. Create rubrics. Research has shown that showing students what is expected of them, and why, gives them the opportunity to become active in their own education. It also helps them take responsibility for their work and their own learning. Determine what a successful project will look like via clearly defined criteria. What makes it a “1” vs. “5”?List important aspects of performance; no more than 10 (Ex: usingvocabulary words, punctuation…etc).Be clearMake sure students understandPost the criteria: e.g. slice of pizza (supporting detail, vocabulary, punctuation)

5. Monitor feedback. Using both formal and informal, examine if students have mastery of subject. Where are the gaps? Are there things that most students do not understand? If so, then is it ateaching problem or a content problem?

The other 10% will become possiblewith passage of time and technology.
