Today in Social Studies Methods class we discussed the topic Assessment. Assessment is when students use multiple tasks to perform real-world tasks in order to indicate their knowledge and understanding of concepts. It includes the collecting of data. Assessment has three different branches that include: Formative, Diagnostic, and Summative.
 
1. Formative Assessment- When the student receives feedback in order to improve and further their knowledge. used throughout the lesson.
 
2. Diagnostic Assessment- Allows the teacher to become familiar with any prior knowledge the student may have.
3. Summative Assessment- Used at the end of the lesson in order to analyze how strong the students understanding of a lesson is.
