Domain 5: Assessment and Reporting
The teaching and learning process includes assessment and reporting, which are crucial components of the work that both teachers and students do. Together, assessment and reporting help students meet high expectations, lay the foundation for future learning, and tell parents of their children's accomplishments. Assessment and reporting work together to help students attain high standards and to create a foundation for guiding future learning, as well as to tell parents about their child's progress. Assessment encompasses all of the methods we use to acquire information about a student's learning progress.
Assessment is an essential component of instruction since it determines whether or not educational objectives are met. Assessment influences grade, placement, progression, instructional requirements, curriculum, and, in some situations, budgeting process. Assessment motivates us to ask difficult questions such as, "Are we teaching what we think we're teaching?" "Are students learning what they're supposed to be learning?" "Is there a better way to teach the subject, hence promoting better learning?"
Essentially, the goal of assessment and reporting at this stage of schooling is to facilitate learning. Parents/guardians should be given a complete picture of their child's learning. Giving students specific feedback on their learning is an essential component of high-quality assessment and a key aspect in developing students' capacity to control their own learning and motivation to persevere with a challenging task or problem.
