Assessment
Formal Assessment - commercially designed and produced tests for elementary, middle and high school levels given on single occasions.
Informal Assessment - non-standardized measurement a teacher uses to learn what a student is able to do in a certain area of literacy. The teacher interprets the results and uses them to plan instruction. Informal assessment vary at the 4th, 7th and 10th grade levels.
Multiple Assessments - Literacy assessment tools provide ongoing feedback; teachers use this feedback to plan instruction and students use it to gauge progress in reading and writing. Literacy assessment tools include rubrics, self-assessment inventories, observation, learning logs/journals, Individualized Reading Inventories (IRIs), cloze passages, teacher-created assignments, and (where appropriate or mandated) standardized or standards-based tests.
