Curriculum Assessments in the Classroom Introduction I believe that assessments are vital to generating data in order to inform instruction. To this end both formative and summative assessment instruments must be administered on a regular basis to monitor student academic progress. This enables one to judge the student's academic progress against content standards and make adjustments throughout the year as needed. By differentiating instruction lessons can be adjusted to meet each student's

Curriculum based assessment (CBA) is an assessment process that links curriculum content with assessment. The purposes for CBA is to cultivate effective lesson plans, evaluate students’ development in the curriculum, and to determine eligibility (source 1).

Throughout this course I have gained many insights about designing effective curriculum, instruction and assessment. Though the use of our various resources, discussions, and assignments I have grown as an educator and will take many things from this course to implement into my classroom. The three most important aspects I am taking away from this course are the use of real world performance tasks, unpacking goals to find specific and measurable objectives, and the importance of differentiation geared
