Effective classroom assessment:

• addresses specific outcomes in the program of studies
• shares intended outcomes and assessment criteria with students prior to the assessment activity
• assesses before, during and after instruction
• employs a variety of assessment strategies to provide evidence of student learning
• provides frequent and descriptive feedback to students
• ensures students can describe their progress and achievement and articulate what comes next in their learning
• informs teachers and provides insight that can be used to modify instruction.
