Assessment FOR Learning
The DDESS mission is
to provide an exemplary education
that inspires and prepares all DoDEA students for success
in a dynamic, global environment. Our assessment
system focuses on maximizing
student success by using a balance of:
- Assessment OF learning to determine
if learning has occurred.
- and
- Assessment FOR learning
as an instructional tool for use while learning is occurring.
In assessment FOR learning the assessment purpose is to provide
teachers and students with information they need during the
learning process to make decisions that will bring about
more learning.
Assessment FOR learning can be used to:
- Diagnose student needs.
- Plan next steps in instruction.
- Provide students with feedback they can use to improve
the quality of their work.
- Help students see and feel in control of their progress
toward success.
