Comprehensive Assessment Binder

Create an online binder, using LiveBinders, with information about the different types of assessments that make up a comprehensive assessment program, including formative and summative assessments, formal and informal assessments, portfolios, performance assessments, self-assessments and affective assessments, and norm-referenced and criterion-referenced standardized assessments. This binder should be set up and organized in such a way that it could be saved and used as a future reference.

Pacing Suggestion for Live Binder Assignment

Good Morning Everyone,

I wanted to check in and offer a suggestion for completing Part I (week 3) and Part 2 (week 4) of the live binder assignment. Only tabs 1-3 and tab 7 will be graded in Week 3. I will grade tabs 4-7 in Week 4.

Although Part 2 of the live binder assignment is due in week 4, please keep in mind that you also have to develop your own teacher-made assessment and write an assessment plan in Week 4. My suggestion is for each of you to use Week 3 to complete all tabs of your live binder assignment. Even though I will only grade tabs 1-3 and tab 7 for Week 3, you can use the feedback that I provide to update or “put the finishing touches” on the tabs that will be graded in Week 4.

Remember you will submit your live binder link in Week 3 and again in Week 4.
