Effective student assessment involves designing both formative and summative student assessment in a way that is beneficial for student learning and development. Assessment should demonstrate clearly set standards and should be designed in a way that students understand. The assessment should match what the students have learned and should use language that is similar to the language that was used during instruction. Assessment should also include multiple types of questions, it should not focus only on one type of question.
In my classroom, I will demonstrate effective student assessment by designing my formative and summative assessment to show what my students have learned. During instruction, if I feel that my students are struggling with a certain topic or idea, I will use different formative assessment strategies to find out what exactly they are having difficulties with. I will also design summative assessment to match what my students have learned. All too often teachers find test questions online and use them because they look good or don't require much work on the teachers end, but this hurts students because the questions are not designed in the same way that they learned the material.
