Assessment

Formative assessments are ways to capture your students’ understanding of newly delivered content. Examples of formative assessments include exit tickets or quizzes and are used to measure student knowledge and adjust instruction during a unit. More specifically, formative assessments also allow students to identify their areas of strengths and growth during the learning process before a summative assessment.

EXIT TICKETS

• Each lesson guide in our Semester Course includes an exit ticket as a Google Slide. They are also available in Google Forms if you want to collect student responses. 

COMPREHENSION QUESTIONS

• Each lesson on our Unit Pages comes with 10 comprehension questions that can be found on our Assessments Page. Note: You must be signed into your Verified NGPF Teacher Account to access the Assessments Page.

Summative assessments measure your students’ mastery of a topic typically at the end of the year or unit. These are usually given in a test or exam format with a higher point value.

UNIT TESTS

• Each unit in our full curriculum and Semester Course includes a unit test. 

Instead of measuring students’ content understanding through exams and standardized assessments, portfolio-based grading is a compilation of student work to demonstrate growth and concept understanding over time. This method of assessment individualizes learning for all students.
