Types of Assessment When planning lesson, teachers should keep in mind what students need to be able to accomplish by the end of the lesson: "What must students be able to demonstrate or perform by the end of this experience?" and "How can we measure how well students have achieved this goal?" According to Harada, there are five steps to this process: 1. "Begin by identifying the broad standard being addressed." 2. "Articulate a more specific performance indicator related to the standard." 3. "Describe a learning task based on the performance indicator." 4. "Determine the criteria that will be used to assess how well students perform the learning task." 5. "Design the tool or method to measure proficiency." Harada, V. H., & J. M. Yoshina.
