Ohio Assessment System
All chartered non-public schools in the state of Ohio are required to adminster yearly assessments that are aligned to their courses of study. The Columbus Diocese believes that assessments are an important part of the Teaching and Learning Framework because they provide important feedback that impacts instruction. We believe in the following principles:
Assessment Type | Purpose |
Diagnostic | Assessment that takes place prior to instruction; designed to determine a student’s attitude, skills or knowledge in order to identify student needs (e.g. pretest). |
Formative: Assessment FOR Learning |
Assessment designed to provide direction for improvement and/or adjustment to a program for individual students or for a whole class (e.g. observation, quizzes, homework, instructional questions, and initial drafts/attempts). |
Summative: Assessment OF Learning |
Assessment designed to provide information to be used in making judgements about a student’s achievement at the end of a sequence of instruction (e.g. tests, exams, portfolios, assignments, projects, performances, and final drafts/attempts) |
