Brain-Friendly Assessments Quick Reference Guide

Assessment and testing are two entirely different things. While testing serves as an event to show what a student knows at a given moment, assessment allows teachers to monitor student progress and provide feedback and support that deepens learning. Based on David A. Sousa's fascinating book of the same name, this four-page quick reference guide gives teachers at-a-glance information on various types of assessment including pre-assessments, formative assessments and summative assessments. It further outlines specific ways to use each type to ensure that all students are learning and provides a checklist to help teachers design brain-friendly assessments of student performance.

This quick reference guide is designed to be used as a supplement for Brain-Friendly Assessments: What They Are and How to Use Them (LSM3054), assisting you in applying the ideas presented in the text to a classroom setting.
