Below is an assignment chart. The chart is divided into three sections: assessment techniques, purpose and examples. For the first segment of the chart here is a list of 20 different assessment techniques that I plan on using in my future classroom.
TPE 3: Interpretation and Use of Assessments
Teacher candidates are able to comprehend the different forms of formative and summative assessments and implement appropriate assessments for diverse student learning. Candidates understand how to administer different assessments to verify student comprehension of the State-Adopted Content Standards. Finally, they are able to successfully and accurately explain the results of the assessments.
