Assessment is very critical for every subject a student is expected to learn. The primary purpose of assessment is to determine if the material taught is being learned. Pre-assessment is always necessary to understand student needs and strengths and also know the nature of their differentiation. Understanding student needs and strength ensure that the student instruction is differentiated to accommodate each student (Krammer, Pflanzl & Mayr, 2018). In differentiated classroom targets on an individualised assessment that ensures that every student is assessed equitably. Reference Krammer, G., Pflanzl, B., & Mayr, J. (2018). Using students’ feedback for teacher education: Measurement invariance across pre-service teacher-rated and student-rated aspects of quality of teaching. Assessment & Evaluation In Higher Education, 44(4), 596-609. doi: 10.1080/02602938.2018.1525338.

I do not want to reinvent the wheel when there is a wheel already established; with that being said, I want to know where I can locate the different types of assessment forms that I can use with my employees? Where would I find the assessment outlines for me to use in my team? What are theother resources that will assist me with using assessment tools? Are there coaches who can assist, providing examples of what can work with utlizing assessment tools? |
The pre-assessment strategy is purposely used to expose the student prior knowledge, interests and feelings before presenting the subject information. The type of assessment allows the instructor or teacher to understand the nature of students and also their needs. The teacher can know each student's strengths and weaknesses to prepare learning instruction that accommodates all students’ needs (Goodman & Bowman, 2014). The type of assessment requires time to plan for and usually it combines both formal and informal format. The assessment conducted through individual conference and surveys. The assessment means of presentation accommodate diverse learners to ensure a well-structured instruction prepared for future evaluations. Pre-assessment comes before formative and summative assessments because it deals with understanding the student needs before delivering the subject content. Summative and formative assessments are used to ensure and check if the students are learning (Havock, 2019). References Goodman, K., & Bowman, N. (2014).
