Assessments

Why is assessment important?

Asking students to demonstrate their understanding of the subject matter is critical to the learning process; it is essential to evaluate whether the educational goals and standards of the lessons are being met. 

Assessment is an integral part of instruction, as it determines whether or not the goals of education are being met. Assessments affect decisions about grades, placement, advancement, instructional needs and curriculum. 

Assessments inspire us to ask these hard questions: "Are students learning what they are supposed to be learning?" "ls there a way to teach the subject better, thereby promoting improved learning? 'Today's students need to know not only the basic reading and arithmetic skills, but also skills that will allow them to face a world that is continually changing. 

They must be able to think critically, to analyze, and to make inferences. Changes in the skills base and knowledge our students need require new learning goals; these new learning goals change the relationship between assessment and instruction.
