Now that we understand what assessments are, and have investigated a few assessment tools, we need to explore at a deeper level how ICT can support your assessment needs as well as exploring the characteristics of an effective assessment strategy.
Characteristics of an effective assessment strategy
Assessment is embedded into teaching and learning as an essential component and should be considered during lesson design
Its important that learners know and recognize the standards they are aiming for from the start and that your tests are designed to assess
Learners are encouraged to self-assess
Formative assessment provides feedback which leads to learners recognizing their next steps and how to take them
The assessment strategy is underpinned by confidence that every learner can improve
Involves both the teacher and learner reviewing and reflecting on assessment data.
