Designing assessments

        For our Fieldwork,  we had to design assessments to see what the students already knew and what they did not know. We also assessed the students after fieldwork. Pre-assessment test and post-assessment tests are suppose to see what the student already knows and what the student has learned after the lessons. The pre-assessment help the teacher in finding out how he or she should create their lessons and what information he or she needs to teach their students. The post-assessments helps the teacher in finding out what he or she needs to review or elaborate more on and what the students gained from the lessons.

         When creating the tests it was difficult to come up with the questions to challenge the students. I also found it difficult to make sure, in the pre-assessment, that I did not ask them questions that were on topics that they learned previously. In making these tests you must make sure that the questions are suitable for the grade level that you are teaching and that
they will help you in seeing what the students need to work on and what they do not need to work on. The pre-assessment test helped me and my group members see how we needed to proceed in creating our three lessons. The pre and post assessement will help me in creating my unit plan for this class. It can help me see what lessons I need to make to make sure in the post assessments all the students know the answers and the information.
     Besides pre and post assessments there are other forms of assessments. They are a very important part of learning. They help review, challenge the students knowledge, and give them a better understanding of what they truly know. They also help teachers find out what the students know, don't know, or are struggling with. The three types of assessments: Diagnostic, Formative, and Summative are the main parts to which teachers get that information. There are many ways to act out those three types of assessments to fit the needs of all different types of learners. I for one am excited to put them in action and use them in the field.
