Assessment and evaluation strategies:
Assessment is a systematic process of collecting information or evidence about a student's progress
towards meeting the learning expectations. Assessment is embedded in the instructional activities
throughout a unit. The expectations for the assessment tasks are clearly articulated and the learning
activity is planned to make that demonstration possible. This process of beginning with the end in mind
helps to keep focus on the expectations of the course. The purpose of assessment is to gather the data
or evidence and to provide meaningful feedback to the student about how to improve or sustain the
performance in the course. Scaled criteria designed as rubrics are often used to help the student to
recognize their level of achievement and to provide guidance on how to achieve the next level.
Although assessment information can be gathered from a number of sources (the student, the student's
course mates, the teacher), evaluation is the responsibility of only the teacher. Evaluation is the
process of making a judgment about the assessment information and determining the percentage
grade or level.
Assessment is embedded within the instructional process throughout each unit rather than being an
isolated event at the end. Often, the learning and assessment tasks are the same, with formative
assessment provided throughout the activity. In every case, the desired demonstration of learning is
articulated clearly and the learning activity is planned to make that demonstration possible. This
process of beginning with the end in mind helps to keep focus on the expectations of the course as
stated in the course guideline. The evaluations are expressed as a percentage based upon the levels
of achievement.
