Classroom Assessment
Classroom assessment plays an important role in student achievement. Classroom assessment is the process of gathering evidence of what a student knows, understands, and is able to do. It can also help to identify students' learning needs.
Teachers set specific criteria based on learning outcomes and expected levels of performance to evaluate students’ learning. These criteria form the basis for evaluating and reporting student progress. Teachers use their insight, knowledge about learning, and experience with students, along with the specific criteria they establish, to make judgments about student performance in relation to prescribed learning outcomes for each subject or course and grade
