IFAs
Definition and Purpose:
CFAs
Classroom assessment is used daily and weekly
without interfering with instructional time. IFAs are
not intended to provide comparison to a boarder
group beyond the student. IFAs provide an ongoing indication of a student’s performance on a skill
or subject.
Definition and Purpose:
Measurement Tool for IFAs are Learning Progressions
Unit of Study 1
Unit of Study 2
Unit of Study 3
Common formative assessments are periodic
assessments collaboratively designed by
grade-level teachers and given to all students
during each quarter. CFAs math pre and post
assessments of essential standards and are
similar to state assessments.
INTERIM ASSESSMENT
Interim assessments are more summative in nature,
are given to all students once or twice yearly and is
designed by the Office of School Performance in
conjunction with HSD Teachers. Interim
assessments are very similar to state assessments
and include performance tasks.
