Chapter 3: Principles of Successful Assessment in the Differentiated Classroom

What stood out most to me in chapter three was the huge chunk about assessments. I didn't realize before reading the chapter that there are three main ways to assess the students: Pre-Assessments, Formative Assessments, and Summative Assessments. After reading this chapter I feel like the Formative Assessment is the most important type of assessment. Monitoring students as they are learning the information is the best way to see if they are actually mastering the information that we as teachers have handed them. I plan on making this form of assessment hold more weight than a final exam like many teacher do.
