Assessment Tracking
WHAT: Tracking assessment is a way for teachers to keep a record of assessment scores throughout the term. It should be done throughout the semester to have an ongoing snapshot of how many assessments in each skill and competency each student has.
WHY: It is important to keep track of assessment scores throughout the term in case your students lose their portfolios or try to manipulate their assessments in their portfolios, or in case another teacher needs to take over in the middle of the semester. It also helps teachers see potential gaps in skills and competencies and can help in future planning.
HOW: Assessment tracking can be done in many ways, including broad or more detailed recoreds. You can use a grade book, an excel file, or paper documents. It is important to find a method and/or tool that works for you. Some schools will have a designated template that must be used.
