IFO Assessment for Learning, of Learning, and as Learning

For this week, students were starting a movie after my previous lesson, so there wasn’t too much evaluation in terms of assessment. However, students had been filling out a packet while reading Hamlet, as a method of both formative and summative assessment. Students were able to fill out the packet at their own pace and to go back and make corrections. Students are also expected to turn the packet in once the unit is over. In this way, the packet is a form of assessment as learning, giving students an outline of what they are expected to learn while reading the text, as well as facilitating their knowledge and giving them the opportunity to take agency over their own learning. This was also a form of assessment of learning because their teacher is able to grade it at the end of the unit and assess what they have learned or to what extent they were willing to learn. The packet was also an assessment for learning because the teacher (my mentor teacher as well as myself) could use this as their own method of learning about students and the knowledge of students.
