Year 7
Assessment

Year 7's are approaching high school, hence
teachers use a range of assessment strate-
gies in their teaching and learning sequenc-
es for a wide variety of reasons. Usually in
class, teachers use assessment for and as
learning. This is used to inform teaching.
Assessment of learning is usually the
'assessment piece' that students produce
which will determine their grade for their
report card. This is used for the students
own record of their learning and to inform
teaching for the following year. All of the
activities have been designed to use assess-
ment for and as learning. They can also be
used for assessment of learning, however
we have stated in our lesson plans what the
assessment of learning could be.
