Purpose: The purpose of this assignment is to explore and analyze different types of formal and informal assessments used with preschoolers and primary-grade teachers.

Directions:

1. Conduct an interview with a preschool teacher and a primary-grade teacher. Find out what kinds of standardized tests are administered in the classroom and what types of informal assessment strategies the teacher uses.
2. Transcribe your interviews in a word document.
3. Then, reflect on the following questions: 1. What did you find out after your exploration? 2. What puzzles/questions do you have in reference to the results of the interviews? 3. What else would you like to explore?
4. Include all the above information in the same word document and post it to the discussion board. Make sure to provide feedback using the Dialogue Toolkit Rubric.
