Both during and after a lesson is taught and a set of concepts are learned, students’ understanding must be assessed. One of the most important details to remember about assessments is that to be effective, they must assess what the children were asked to learn in the lesson. This seems obvious, but often teachers create assessments that test only memorization when they teach for understanding, or test for understanding when the students have been memorizing facts. In depth information on assessments can be found on the Assessment Checklist.
Include both formative and summative assessments that are in line with teaching practices
