terms to ideas
Gathering, recording, and analysing student work to help students, over time, attain a learning goal.
Assessment informs instruction.
It looks to the present, and to the future.
Assigning a value to student work to measure the learning they have acquired at the end of a time period.
Evaluation is for reporting.
It looks to the past.

Anne Davies, Making Classroom Assessment Work
Only if we expand and reformulate our view of what counts as human intellect will we be able
to devise more appropriate ways of addressing it and more effective ways of educating it.

Give descriptive feedback and include the student in their
assessment.
The student knows more than the teacher about what and how he has learned – even if he knows
less about what was taught.
~ Peter Elbow
Research Connection
Involving students in assessment and increasing the amount of descriptive feedback, while decreasing the amount of evaluative feedback, increases student learning significantly. Students who usually achieve less show the largest gains.
