Why does assessment for learning matter? |
Assessment for Learning is the ongoing process of gathering and interpreting evidence about student learning for the purpose of determining where students are in their learning, where they need to go and how to best get there.
Assessment for learning is a high yield instructional strategy that takes place while the student is still learning and serves to promote learning. Diagnostic Assessment is an essential part of Assessment for Learning. Diagnostic assessments help teachers determine where individual students are in the acquisition of knowledge and skills so that instruction can be personalized and tailored to provide the appropriate next steps for learning. |
