    The document discusses three types of assessments: assessment of learning, assessment for learning, and assessment as learning. Assessment of learning evaluates what students have learned against curriculum standards through exams, projects, and standardized tests. Assessment for learning provides feedback to teachers and students on student understanding and allows teachers to adjust their lessons, through formative and diagnostic assessments. Assessment as learning actively involves students in self-assessment to develop critical thinking and goal-setting skills.

    In your classroom, assessments generally have one of three purposes:

    1. Assessment of learning
    2. Assessment for learning
    3. Assessment as learning

    Assessment of learning
    Assessments are a way to find out what students have learned and if they’re aligning to curriculum
    or grade-level standards. 
    Assessments of learning are usually grade-based, and can include:
     Exams
     Portfolios
     Final projects
     Standardized tests

    They have a concrete grade attached to them that communicates student achievement to
    teachers, parents, students, school-level administrators and district leaders. 
    Common types of assessment of learning include: 
     Summative assessments
     Norm-referenced assessments
     Criterion-referenced assessments

    Assessment for learning


    Assessments for learning provide you with a clear snapshot of student learning and
    understanding as you teach -- allowing you to adjust everything from your classroom management
    strategies to your lesson plans as you go. 
    Assessments for learning should always be ongoing and actionable. When you’re creating
    assessments, keep these key questions in mind:
     What do students still need to know?
     What did students take away from the lesson?
     Did students find this lesson too easy? Too difficult?
     Did my teaching strategies reach students effectively?
     What are students most commonly misunderstanding?
     What did I most want students to learn from this lesson? Did I succeed?

    There are lots of ways you can deliver assessments for learning, even in a busy classroom. We’ll
    cover some of them soon!
    For now, just remember these assessments aren’t only for students -- they’re to provide you with
    actionable feedback to improve your instruction.
    Common types of assessment for learning include formative assessments and diagnostic
    assessments. 
    Assessment as learning
    Assessment as learning actively involves students in the learning process. It teaches critical
    thinking skills, problem-solving and encourages students to set achievable goals for themselves
    and objectively measure their progress. 

    They can help engage students in the learning process, too! One study found:
    “Students develop an interest in mathematical tasks that they understand, see as relevant to
    their own concerns, and can manage. 

    Recent studies of students’ emotional responses to mathematics suggest that both their positive
    and their negative responses diminish as tasks become familiar and increase when tasks are novel”
