  -ongoing, feedback from in the moment checks for understanding

• assessment of learning

• To see if a learner can meet requirements and have a mastery of knowledge based on a predetermined standard.

• An assessment that compares a student's performance to a sample of that student's peers. (tests graded on a curve)

Criterion-referenced

standards-based assessment

• To see if a learner can meet the requirements based on memorization of data and facts.

  -think true false, multiple choice etc.

• To see if a learner can meet requirements and have a mastery of knowledge based on a predetermined standard.

• Monitor academic progress and achievementThese assessments include benchmark, formative, summative and diagnostic.
