Balanced Assessment System
“To maximize student success, assessment must be seen as an instructional tool for use while learning is occurring, and as an accountability tool to determine if learning has occurred. Because both purposes are important, they must be in balance.”
From Balanced Assessment: The Key to Accountability and Improved Student Learning, NEA (2003)
Essential Classroom Assessment
• Teachers are assessment literate.
• Classrooms reflect a balanced assessment system.
• Teachers are skilled users of both formative and summative assessment.
Formative Assessment CCSSO FAST SCASS
Formative assessment is a process used by teachers and students during instruction that provides
feedback to adjust ongoing teaching and learning to improve students’
achievement of intended outcomes.
Assessment in Support of LearningAssessment quality must address the impact of the results on the learner and the learning. Assessments must:• go beyond merely providing judgments about student
performance to providing rich descriptions of student performance.
• evolve from being isolated events to becoming events that happen in ongoing series to reveal patterns.
• go beyond merely informing instructional decisions of teachers to informing decisions also made by students.
