Student Assessment

Classroom assessment, the day-to-day assessment of students by teachers in the classroom, communicates to students and parents what the school and teacher value in student performance.

Alternative assessment - any form of assessment that requires students to produce a response rather than select from a list of possible responses - measures the more complex learning goals that we now hold for students and supports the instruction needed to help students achieve these goals; because of these strengths, alternative assessments are becoming more common.
