Assessing Learning
Planning a student's academic course of study and curriculum starts with the process of assessment and continues throughout the learning process. Assessment is a valuable tool to help us track student progress and adjust instruction as necessary.
Student academic, social, and behavioral progress is tracked using a wide array of assessment tools:
Academics
- Teacher observation
- Various academic achievement tests
- Pre- and post-testing
- Software data and periodic progress reports
- Grades and test scores
- State-wide and district-wide assessments
- Standardized testing as required by state and local mandates
Behavior
- Level system tracking
- Student participation
- Attendance rates
- Tracking of "time on task"
- Client and customer satisfaction
- Student, parent, and school district surveys
- Social and emotional status
I love that I get constant progress reports from my child's teacher. I always know how she is doing in school.
