PURPOSE AND VALUE OF ASSESSMENT pt.2

The Four-Step Teaching-Learning-Assessment Process 

1.  Establish clear, observable expected goals for student learning 

2. Ensure that students have sufficient opportunities to achieve those goals 

3. Systematically gather, analyze, and interpret evidence of how well student learning meets those goals

4. Use the resulting information to understand and improve student learning
