Questions on Assessment

How does a teacher find a balance between teaching time and assessment time? It seems like finding time to make a running record of 20 or 30 students on a regular basis would eat up all of your instruction time.

Since the child I am observing is older, it seems like many forms of assessment would not be applicable or would be too difficult for me to master to use on a higher level student (like the running record), what are my options?

How many different assessments should be used to get a well rounded view of the child's reading level?

Makes me think of our conversation about the "diet of assessment" that we see in schools.
