Abstract
This chapter is about the three different types of assessments. The first type of assessment that was mentioned was a portfolio. A portfolio is used as a form of assessment because of the ability to collect information and artifacts of understanding over a long period of time. the second form of assessment is a rubric, both analytic and holistic. An analytic rubric is the most common type of rubric that is used because it is constructed by the teacher and are very specific to let students know what is expected of them. The last assessment mentioned is the self-assessment. This assessment allows students to recognize where they are in the learning process and can help them track their own progress as the school year goes on.
Reflection
We all agree that it is important to use different types of assessment to evaluate a student's mastery of curriculum content. Each type of assessment needs to be thought of carefully to ensure that each student is represented correctly and their type of learning. Portfolios can be very effective because it represents the student's progress over a long period of time and it contains different artifacts of work that the student has completed.
