Assessment Tool


Multiple Intelligence and Myer’s Brigg’s:

This form can help me determine which intelligences are strongest for you. If you're a teacher or tutor, you can also use it to find out which intelligences your learner uses most often. It is important for teachers to carefully select activities that not only teach to the intelligences, but also realistically mesh with the subject matter of the lesson or unit. Multiple Intelligences theory should enhance, not devalue from what is being taught. I would rate this 5 because it help us teachers find the weakness and strength of each student.


Performance Task:

Performance task ask students to apply skills and knowledge by performing real-world tasks. Performance tasks require students to think at a high level and employ a variety of skills. Students will gather information from sources such as books, articles, interviews, lectures, or experiments.  Rather than simply memorizing facts, students will analyze, apply, and synthesize what they learn. They often have many opportunities to make choices, express creativity, and practice problem solving. Students will communicate their learning through a type of performance such as a demonstration, presentation, recital, reading, or role-play. I would rate this 5 too because it helps understand each information being applied by students.

Checklist, Learning Log, Journals:

Checklist is something a teacher would guide themselves or to make list on the lesson. Learning Log and journal is similar; both have the same outcome of what the teacher wants the students to do. I don’t see this as an effective tool but it is considered as an interactive and engaging way to breakdown a topic or keeps something valuable. I would rate this 4 out of 5.




Matrix and Rubrics:

Rubrics are great for students they let students know what is expected of them, and demystify grades by clearly stating, in age-appropriate vocabulary, the expectations for a project. They also help students see that learning is about gaining specific skills (both in academic subjects and in problem-solving and life skills), and they give students the opportunity to do self-assessment to reflect on the learning process. Using scoring rubrics demote grades and helps students see that the whole object of schoolwork is attainment and refinement of problem-solving and life skills. Rubrics also help teachers authentically monitor a student's learning process and develop and revise a lesson plan. They provide a way for a student and a teacher to measure the quality of a body of work. I would rate this perfect 5 because it is a must and also helps teachers identify if student understand beyond what is expected.

Graphic Organizer:

This is a great tool for students to expand their thinking. It helps students classify ideas and communicate more effectively. By using graphic organizers to structure writing projects, to help in problem solving, decision making, studying, planning research and brainstorming. I would rate this 5 because it helps student think beyond expected.





Interviews & Conferences:

This help parents get to know the teacher background information and also give advice on what their child lacks and need to improve or to be aware or what is going on with school and in academics. This is necessary to all teachers and I rate this 5 for just because.




Teacher Made Test:

Teacher-made tests are generally used in the classroom to assess student learning. Good teacher made test is crucial for student’s success. Assessing should produce more than a score, it should cause students to think and exercise a variety of skills. I would rate this 5!

CNMI Standards and Benchmarks test:

Standards are guideposts for schools. Teachers, parents and students use them as a tool to focus on what students are expected to learn. These standards become the basis for the way teachers are trained, what they teach and what is on state standardized tests that students take. Without standards, districts and schools don't have goals to shoot for. By matching what is taught in the classroom to the standards in each subject area, students (and their parents and teachers) will know what teachers should be teaching, what students should be learning and what they will be tested on. This is the most important thing in education and I would rate this 5.
