Evidence of understanding: an introduction to assessments in K-12 science curricula Grade(s): K - 12 http://cse.edc.org/products/assessment/assesshome.asp In this Web guide, educators can view examples of assessments from many different instructional materials. The guide is organized into three sections: Elementary Assessments (K–5), Middle School Assessments (6–8), and High School Assessments (9–12). Within each section, assessment examples have been categorized into five groups: (1) observations, interviews, and discussions, (2) written assessments, (3) performance assessments, (4) graphics, and (5) self-assessments. Each of these categories is defined and described slightly differently at each grade level. Synopsis: We've all heard it: assess, assess, assess again. We know constant assessment is an essential ingredient in the recipe for educational success, but how can we find meaningful ways of gathering information? This site provides just what we need: examples of a variety of types of assessments, in the context of a variety of instructional materials, for a variety of grade levels ( from ENC)
