Limits of Informal Assessment
Captions available
The idea
Informal assessment has limits: teachers may see what they expect, focus on process rather than learning, sample only some students, or misread culturally shaped behavior; anecdotal records help by noting specific events.
In practice
A note reads, "Tuesday: Ana explained regrouping to her partner correctly."
Where people slip
Formal observation, such as for an IEP, uses a planned schedule and clear definitions.
