Definition

  • Assessment is the process of providing evidence regarding the quality of teaching and student learning in educational institutions. Recognizing that there is an existing national and international climate that requires public accountability and is focused on high-stakes tests and their results, it has become necessary for teachers and students to respond appropriately in order to demonstrate not only the requisite skills but also skills beyond those currently tested with multiple-choice questions.
