EXPLAINING TEACHING STYLE TO
PARENTS

EXPLAINING YOUR ASSESSMENT PLAN
TO PARENTS
The assessment plan for a class is
often the focus of initial questioning
by parents at a conference . Parents
and students want to know how often
tests and quizzes occur , what is
going to be on the test , what the
test looks like , if the test counts
and how the teacher is going to
score it . The answers to these
questions are actually quite simple
When the students have mastered
the objectives as demonstrated on
the formative assessments then
administer a summative assessment
to score the students . Teachers
are advised to quiz often by
breaking the content into small
units . Using quizzes as a formative
assessment allows the teacher to
gain quality insights into the
effectiveness of the instruction.

Test format
The format of the test
depends upon the content of
the test . The teacher should
write the test or quiz before
beginning that unit of study .
One reasonto adhere to this
practice is so the students will
know how are they going to be
assessed
