Student Achievement and Assessment / Schell & Fisher
Effective assessments measure student knowledge and skills as well as helping a teacher evaluate their instructional practices. Formal assessments should not be the primary goal for teaching social studies. Formal assessments are important but informal assessments are just as important. As an educator, we must decide when and how we will assess students, but a lot of times it is out of our control. Feedback must be immediate and specific if we want students to learn. we must develop test after we have taught and make sure it is based on what we taught. This helps you and your students see progress.

Correct effective assessment measure student knowledge and skills but many teachers do not use the information correctly. In EC progress is exactly what I am lokking for. I know where my students are at the beginning of the year and I have a goal for them at the end an they must grow or it reflexts me as a teacher.
