Chapter 4: Three Important Types of Assessment

Chapter 4, Three Important Types of Assessment, explains the three most important types of assessment that we as teachers can use. The first type of assessment was a portfolio. Portfolios give students a chance to reflect and revise their pieces before presenting or turning in the final piece. They are also helpful because there is no definite format so each student can make their individual portfolio special, which might motivate more of them to complete it. The second way is by making a rubric. This is a very popular form of assessment because it can be molded to fit just about any project. The third type is student self-assessment, which is where students evaluate their own work. I plan on using each one of these types of assessments in my class.
