Assessments are fundamental in guiding instruction toward student success. They ensure that teaching methods and strategies align with the diverse needs of the learner.
Assessments, also referred to as evaluations, tests, and screenings, provide information about the student’s processing abilities, achievement gaps, and overall academic strengths and weaknesses. Depending on the need, a screening, an informal assessment, or a comprehensive academic assessment will be administered to help determine the root cause of the student’s challenges.
