Create an Assessment
10 points Rubric (7 points required for passing grade)

Select questions to conduct a formative assessment of your students' knowledge.

1. On the SAS Website, go to the Fair Assessments tab and select Assessment Creator. From the pull down boxes, select your subject area and the grade level that you teach.  If you are not currently teaching, select an area of interest to you to locate assessment items. If there are no questions available for your subject area and grade level, select a subject and grade level of interest to you. If you work in early childhood, select a topic within a higher subject and grade, i.e. shapes in grade 3 Mathematics.
2. Using the Assessment Creator, identify five or six questions that align to the standards in the lesson plan that you are creating for this course. Copy and paste these into a document and upload them into the assessment tool.

NOTE: If you are unable to locate assessment items relevant to your specific grade level or subject area, search for items from a different subject area that you could potentially make cross-curricular connections with.
