Assessment resources, tools and tips.
What is assessment? This definition resonates with me.
"Assessment is the ongoing process of gathering, analysing and reflecting on evidence to make informed and consistent judgements to improve future student learning." (Department of Education and Early Childhood Development, Victoria, 2012, http://www.education.vic.gov.au )
This definition does not make any reference to the students ability, comparitively or otherwise. It gives the impression that student assessment is a 'dipstick' measurement on the teachers capabilities! What a great aspect to teach from.
Here is a collection of resources, tools and tips for assessment in primary school education.
