Overview

Assessment is the systematic process of documenting and using empirical data on the
knowledge, skill, attitudes, and beliefs to refine programs and improve student learning.
Assessment plays a crucial role in the teaching and learning process. It helps educators evaluate
student progress, identify areas for improvement, and design instruction to individual needs.

Purpose

Measure Learning: Assessment helps evaluate how much students have learned and understood
the course material. It provides valuable insights into their progress.

Inform Instruction: Assessment data can guide teachers in adjusting their teaching methods and
content to better meet the needs of students.

Drive Student Growth: Assessments empower students to take ownership of their learning and
identify areas for improvement and growth.

Formative assessment

Formative assessment is an ongoing process that provides timely feedback to students and
teachers about learning progress. It helps identify strengths, weaknesses, and areas for
improvement, allowing for adjustments to teaching methods and learning strategies.

Formative assessment can take many forms, such as classroom discussions, quizzes, homework,
and observation of student work. It focuses on the learning process rather than just the final
outcome.

Summative assessment

Summative assessments are high-stakes tests or evaluations that measure student learning at the
end of a unit or course. They provide a comprehensive picture of what students have mastered
and often determine grades or advancement.

Summative assessments are used to evaluate the effectiveness of instructional programs and
make decisions about student placement or promotion.

The importance

Setting clear expectation: Assessment clarifies learning objectives for students, making them
aware of what is expected of them.

Understanding Student Progress and provide feedback: Assessment helps teachers measure
where students are in their learning journey. Teachers can offer constructive feedback to
students, helping them understand their mistakes and how to improve.
Who Should Be Involved in Assessment

1. Teachers: Responsible for designing, administering, and evaluating assessments to gauge


student learning.
2. Students: Actively participate in self-assessment and peer-assessment to reflect on their
own progress and learning.
3. Parents: Provide valuable input and feedback on their child's performance, and
collaborate with teachers to support student growth.

Rubric

Well-designed rubrics and scoring criteria are essential for effective assessment. They provide
clear, objective standards for evaluating student work and ensure consistent, transparent grading.

Rubrics break down complex tasks into specific criteria, with detailed descriptions of what
constitutes excellent, proficient, or unsatisfactory performance.
