QUESTIONS NOTES
1. What is assessment in ➢ Pre-assessment or diagnostic assessment
inclusive education? Before creating the instruction, it’s necessary to know for what kind of students
you’re creating the instruction. Your goal is to get to know your student’s
strengths, weaknesses and the skills and knowledge the possess before taking
the instruction. Based on the data you’ve collected; you can create your
instruction.
➢ Formative assessment
Formative assessment is used in the first attempt of developing instruction. The
goal is to monitor student learning to provide feedback. It helps identifying the
first gaps in your instruction. Based on this feedback you’ll know what to focus
on for further expansion for your instruction.
➢ Summative assessment
Summative assessment is aimed at assessing the extent to which the most
important outcomes at the end of the instruction have been reached.
➢ Confirmative assessment
When your instruction has been implemented in your classroom, it’s still
necessary to take assessment. Your goal with confirmative assessments is to find
out if the instruction is still a success after a year, for example, and if the way
you're teaching is still on point. You could say that a confirmative assessment is
an extensive form of a summative assessment.
➢ Norm-referenced assessment
This compares a student’s performance against an average norm. This could be
the average national norm for the subject History, for example. Other example is
when the teacher compares the average grade of his or her students against the
average grade of the entire school.
➢ Criterion-referenced assessment
It measures student’s performances against a fixed set of predetermined criteria
or learning standards. It checks what students are expected to know and be able
to do at a specific stage of their education.
➢ Ipsative assessment
It measures the performance of a student against previous performances from
that student. With this method you’re trying to improve yourself by comparing
previous results. You’re not comparing yourself against other students, which
may be not so good for your self-confidence.

SUMMARY: Write 4 or more sentences describing specific learning from these notes.
Like it or not, inclusive education is here. Inclusive education is the name for the educational movement to
include all children, regardless of academic abilities or academic disabilities into regular classrooms. Typically,
inclusion refers to the integration of special education students into regular classrooms. The inclusive education
movement has been supported by most parents, especially parents of special education students. These parents
make the point that their children have the right to be educated in a "regular" classroom. Many people, including
some teachers, believe that mainstreaming means to bring special needs students into "regular" classrooms with
"normal" children. But there are some problems with this perspective. The first is that there is no "regular"
classroom with "normal" children. Children are never "normal." All children are unique. Because they are unique,
they all have individual strengths and individual weaknesses. In our experience, all children can perform well at
some tasks. But schools are a unique culture with a unique set of rules. Most of us take this culture for granted
because we are accustomed to it. In fact, those of you who are reading this paper are probably especially adept
living in this culture. If you were not, it is unlikely you would have made the choice to become a teacher. Schools
have their own criteria for success and for failure. Given the criteria used to evaluate success in schools, some
students are very "successful;" some are not so "successful." This does not mean, however, that those students
who are not successful in school will not eventually find a place in life where they will be successful.
