Integrating the Framework:

Evaluation Portfolio Standard• Standard IV: Teachers facilitate learning for their students—• h. Teachers use a variety of methods to assess what each

student has learned. Teachers use multiple indicators, including formative and summative assessments, to evaluate student progress and growth as they strive to eliminate achievement gaps. Teachers provide opportunities, methods, feedback, and tools for students to assess themselves and each other. Teachers use 21st century assessment systems to inform instruction and demonstrate evidence of students’ 21st century knowledge, skills, performance, and dispositions.
