Welcome to Classroom Assessment

Classroom assessments can include a wide range of options -- from recording anecdotal notes while observing a student to administering standardized tests. Regardless of the form, effective classroom assessments provide the feedback and motivation that students need to excel.

This course is divided into 2 parts, each containing 3 lessons.  Part I focuses on basic concepts and common assessments such as multiple choice and essay questions. Part II includes performance assessment, classroom interactions, and attitude surveys. Throughout the lessons, resources and techniques for integrating technology are included.

This course can be used as a "self-study" or it can be used for Continuing Education Units (if your district has a facilitator). Each lesson contains sample assessments along with multiple activities that reinforce the concepts. Before you take the course, please fill out the Survey to help gauge your experience level. At the end of the course, a similar survey will be available.
