Three Purposes of
Assessment
• FOR Learning
• AS Learning
• OF Learning
Three Purposes
of Assessment
1 FOR Learning
Designed to give teachers information to modify
and differentiate teaching
Assessment is frequent, dynamic and responsive
to student needs
Three Purposes
of Assessment
2 AS Learning

connector between assessment and learning
Students monitor their own learning
Three Purposes
of Assessment
3 OF Learning
Summative in nature
Used to confirm what students know and can do
Concerned with examining and summarizing the
critical sample of evidence that will reflect
achievement
Strategies for Assessing and Communicating Learning
Self-and Peer Assessment
If assessment for and assessment
as learning are to improve the
quality of student’s work, then
students must also be involved
in their own assessment.
