We went over the difference between assessment and evaluation, content vs performance standards, and different assessment strategies.  What stood out and what I learned Assessment Ongoing throughout the school day and year Many different methods of assessment  Observations Discussions Reflections Physical products and projects The gathering of information to identify strengths and weaknesses Used to provide students with feedback and to track progress Evaluation Usually summative (at the end of a unit or term) to gauge the outcome of student learning Judges the quality of work/knowledge of students Provide a value of success (levels/grades) Methods include: tests/quizzes Physical product and projects Presentations  I really liked the Lucid App, which was the resource used as the activity from slide 3.
