Assessment

Assessment in education relates to some type of performance. This could be teacher performance in the classroom or it may be student performance in a particular curricular area or it may be a self-check to confirm that the individual has an understanding of what is being taught.

Are you assessing student performance, teacher performance, or are students doing self-assessments? All are very important to improving student achievement. The teacher's performance in the classroom will have an impact on the student performance which must be assessed by the teacher. But the students must take ownership of their own learning and assess themselves to confirm their understanding of subject matter. There are many tools to assist in all forms. The list below is just an example of what is available for use on the handheld. For more indepth information on assessment visit the links at the left.
