SESSION 3: ASSESSMENT STRATEGIES AND
TOOLS
OVERVIEW:
In classroom assessment, all students do not learn in the
same way. Students who have different learning style
typically have different methods of demonstrating what
they have learned. Use of a variety of assessment
approaches is needed to allow all students to demonstrate
what the have learned.
To gain the most valuable evidence from assessments, the
teacher needs to know how to choose the most suitable
assessment strategy for each situation, and how to make
the assessment tool as effective as possible. A poorly
chosen or poorly developed assessment will fail to provide
useful evidence about pupils learning. It could even
provide misleading information. Only with good, properly
chosen developed assessments will teachers gather
evidence of what their pupils have learned
Aunthentic classroom assessment activities are desired
whenever possible. That is, assessment activities / tasks
should not only examine simple recall of information but
should also demonstrate the extent to which students
have understood and applied the information.
