 WHAT IS ASSESSMENT?
Assessment is an ongoing process of gathering, analyzing,
reflecting, and acting on evidence of student learning to inform
teaching.

Assessment involves monitoring, documenting, measuring,

Learning goals and success criteria are co-constructed and

clearly communicated.

Both learning outcomes and the learning process are
