Assessment

 Hi, readers!

How’s life?

I hope all of you feel good and happy.

Today we will talk about Assessment.  




What is Assessment?
Assessment is the process of gathering and discussing information from multiple and diverse sources in order to develop a deep understanding of what students know, understand, and can do with their knowledge as a result of their educational experiences; the process culminates when assessment results are used to improve.

Why do we need to assess young learners?

  1.  The teacher can become more aware of areas that are causing problems for the students and then concentrate on them.

  2. The teachers can adjust their teaching to suit the needs and learning styles of the students.

  3. The teacher will have a better understanding of what can be achieved in a class





There are 6 types of the assessments:

  1.  Diagnostic Assessment (as Pre-Assessment)

One way to think about it: Assesses a student’s strengths, weaknesses, knowledge, and skills prior to instruction.

  1. Formative Assessment

One way to think about it: Assesses a student’s performance during instruction, and usually occurs regularly throughout the instruction process. Another way to think about it: Like a doctor’s ‘check-up’ to provide data to revise instruction
Tip: Using digital exit ticket tools like Loop can be an easy means of checking whether students have understood lesson content, while also promoting student reflection.


  1. Summative Assessment

One way to think about it: Measures a student’s achievement at the end of instruction. Another way to think about it: It’s macabre, but if formative assessment is the check-up, you might think of summative assessment as the autopsy. What happened? Now that it’s all over, what went right and what went wrong?


  1. Norm-Referenced Assessment

One way to think about it: Compares a student’s performance against other students (a national group or other “norm”)

Another way to think about it: Group or ‘Demographic’ assessment


  1. Criterion-Referenced Assessment

One way to think about it: Measures a student’s performance against a goal, specific objective, or standard. Another way to think about it: a bar to measure all students against


  1. Interim/Benchmark Assessment

One way to think about it: Evaluates student performance at periodic intervals, frequently at the end of a grading period. Can predict student performance on end-of-the-year summative assessments. Another way to think about it: Bar graph growth through a year





I think that’s all for today. Thank you for visiting my blog. 

See you!

Stay safe and stay healthy!

Hi, readers! How’s life? I hope all of you feel good and happy. Today we will talk about Learning to learn.   'Learning to learn' is the ability to pursue and persist in learning, to organise one's own learning, including through effective management of time and information, both individually and in groups. When students can direct their learning and know how they learn best, they can also better navigate the wide range of available choices in school and beyond. Learning to learn is particularly important when teachers are no longer a main source of information and knowledge.   ‘Learning to learn’ is often used as a magic formula to meet the increasing informational demands of society and technology. Although ‘learning to learn’ should be an important part of daily life in secondary schools and classrooms, it turns out to be a very difficult goal to achieve. For most schools and for most teachers it is not even clear how ‘learning to learn’ should be operationalised and imp

Hi, readers! How’s life? I hope all of you feel good and happy. Today we will talk about Teaching Vocabulary and grammar.   Vocabulary Vocabulary skills are essential to building a student’s confidence in reading and writing, and the right activities can help get students excited about language learning. And there are some tips teaching vocabulary for young learners. Using Visuals When teachers hear ‘vocabulary’, they should pair it with the word ‘visual’. According to Inc.com, 65% of people are visual learners. We should take that into account no matter who we teach, but as teachers of English learners, we should plan to incorporate visual aids in our teaching of vocabulary whenever possible. On top of that, if we are teaching early readers or even pre-readers, visual vocabulary is a must!  Vocabulary A-Z Lesson Plans With Vocabulary A-Z, you can create your own vocabulary lists based on topic, content, or part of speech, and generate lesson activities based on your selections.
