The collected evidence we seek may well include observations and dialogues, traditional quizzes and tests, performance tasks and projects, as well as students' self-assessments gathered over time.
I think it is important to note that assessment is not the same thing as grading. As the author mentions here, assessment can include "observations and dialogues" among many other things. Assessment, as this introduction describes, is a way to see if we, as teachers, have achieved the results we are looking for. Knowing that we are not teaching for grades alone, I think it is important that we use methods of assessment that go beyond grades.
