Continued from prior post "An Overview of Assessment"
3 Examples of Assessment:
The following examples of assessment can be implemented at various stages in the educational process that students become a part of as they acquire the skills and knowledge required to succeed in college and career. Educators can modify the assessments to measure a variety of metrics and to accommodate student specific needs.
EDUCATION ASSESSMENT
-Which school did you go to?
-What recognition did you earn?
-How well did you do?
These are some of the principal questions which Education Assessment is best for. It serves as a reminder that education is good and valuable. That schools provide the best education possible and grant students, who meet the requirements, diplomas, degrees, certificates, and awards. Education Assessment is best designed to inform how well educated the student is, who earned the recognition from the attended school. It is a useful tool for higher education and employers to evaluate possible candidates.
FORMATIVE ASSESSMENT
-Is Continuous.
-Is Cumulative.
-Is Incremental.
Formative Assessment is carried out in a continuous manner, is accumulated over time as the student grows and develops in skill and knowledge, and it is incremental throughout the length of time a student spends in a set educational environment. By ensuring that education is of the greatest quality early on in the student's path, educators can prevent the student from future downfalls which can be demanding, frustrating, and time-consuming. Formative Assessment is a great tool for educators to gain insight into the student's abilities, skills, and knowledge, and do so in real time.
STANDARD ASSESSMENT.
-What is the Objective being measured?
-How Much Range do students have?
-How Accurate are their responses?
Say we want to assess the student's ability to draw a circle. The students are taught what a circle is. They are given time to study and do research. We have them practice drawing circular shapes, and instruct them on how they will be assessed. Finally, they are presented with the materials needed (a dry erasable board, marker, and eraser) and are asked to draw a circle. Standard Assessment is best suited to measure specific education objectives. It can be modified by presenting a limited number of acceptable responses or by having the student decide how best to respond. This type of assessment can also be designed to cover an assorted amount of information and collect multiple responses in the least possible time.

JUNE 2015
As we welcome summer, later this month, we also bring to a close another school year.The class of 2015 is now on their way to the next stage in their educational path.
As educators, we hope that we have done our best to prepare them for success, and that we have presented them with the tools that they will need to succeed.
This month, MRCR Education will also be taking some steps to ensure that we also succeed in our commitment to education.
Our focus will remain on the areas of ELD, STEAM, and HAST, in addition to the many educational themes which are also of great importance.
Your responses to our posts, blog, and on Twitter are always welcomed, and we encourage you to follow us throughout the summer, and beyond, on our Twitter handle @mrcreducation .
I personally would like to take this moment to say "Thank You" to all students, parents, and educators for all the hard work and effort that has been poured into the 2014-15 academic year.
Have a wonderful summer, and we'll see you back at the start of next year.
Sincerely,
Manuel R. CortezRodas, Chief Educator/Founder
