Collecting and analyzing classroom data to make educational decisions is a key skill for any teacher. Classroom assessment may include formal and informal measures, so teachers need to be able to demonstrate knowledge of both. Create a paper that responds to the following prompt.

Task analysis is both an instructional technique and an informal classroom assessment strategy. Discuss the use of task analysis for each purpose. Include the different types of task analysis.
Discuss the importance of using informal classroom measures and norm-referenced measures together to present a complete student profile.
Discuss the types of information that can be learned through informal classroom assessment that is not easily obtained through formal assessments.
Remember to review the rubric before you begin writing your essay. You must demonstrate your knowledge about these topics. Therefore, it is advisable to define terms and to use examples. Also, remember that you must support your claims with evidence, which will typically call for a citation/reference (also, use citations/references when you define terms).
